Sorry, we were 93 in year one. We were actually worse in year two. 97.

Got a lot better from there.

Quote from: KingKolek on Today at 08:04:56 PMA key aspect to his approach is "relationships." He has loyalty to his guys. He respects those who put in the effort here at Marquette. So I wonder, does he see the writing on the wall, but understand it isn't nice to rip the players clearly not cut out for the roles he's thrust them into? Could his words and actions eventually contradict each other, as he does what must be done next offseason?

He's going to have some work to do after this year.

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 07:46:58 PMIt only makes it more painful to deal with. It's 100% amazing. Crazy to an insane degree.

But the hook shots. And the meaningless rebounds. How can you overlook those ?

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 08:06:12 PMDon't read too much into post game comments.

I think it's fair when they back up his actions. Not taking Hamilton out of the starting lineup shows a complacency to me.

MU NET ranking before the UW game was 164

Here are the teams we've beaten so far this year:

Valparaiso       231
Southern         260
Central Michigan 308
Albany           325
Little Rock      340

At least we are beating the teams we should beat (please note the sarcasm)!

I find myself growing increasingly frustrated after each postgame as Shaka rolls out the same cliches, the same excuses for why his team continuously fails to execute. And I ask myself each time, "Is he so daft that he doesn't understand this is absolutely not working?"

I have a great deal of respect for Shaka. I think he is a great, intelligent man. He's the type of person I want leading my program. But he's made so many decisions in the last year that shake me to my core. Can someone like this really not see what's happening right in front of him? Can he really think a frontcourt of Clark and Hamilton can win in the Big East? Can he think this roster construction makes any sense at all?

A key aspect to his approach is "relationships." He has loyalty to his guys. He respects those who put in the effort here at Marquette. So I wonder, does he see the writing on the wall, but understand it isn't nice to rip the players clearly not cut out for the roles he's thrust them into?

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 06:55:36 PMI'll happily bet you we win more than 4 conference games this year. Let me know - here's the bet --- $400, if they get to 4 wins or less, you win... if they get 5 win or more, I win. Simple. Let me know.
I agree with ya I think they win 5 or 6

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 03:44:13 PMCouldn't care less about Shaka's record against any one team. Wojo was fine against Wisconsin. Meant absolutely nothing for the program.
gotta beat your rival. 1-4 is horseshiit...and yeah, I don't think Shaka gives a damn
