Do you really think 8 months from now these kids are going to get much better?
James and Steven's do not have a mid range game at all, Owen's has shown nothing in a year and a half.  Phillips I can see potential in a few years.  Then you have the redshirts, I understand Pearson, Militec could not make this crap team, then a foreigner, looks awful skinny.  Next year looks the same, unless Shaka brings in some portal players and gets rid of dead talent.  Hope that happens

Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on January 13, 2026, 08:01:29 PMExactly! My circumstances are similar. Agree We have already lost 5 games by 20 POINTS OR MORE this year!! Dukiet's games were closer! This is the worst Marquette team I have seen since the 1960s!!!!!!

Marquette has already lost 5 games by 20 points or more this year and is headed for more.

Dukiet in 3 years averaged only 2 losses by more than 20 points a year.

Next year's prospective: "The good news is that MU returns 82% of their minutes from 2025-26 and 70% of their scoring. The bad news is that the returning players wouldn't start for UW-Parkside."

With the exception of NJ, I wouldn't lose any sleep if any of the players eligible to return were buzz-cut or paid-out to transfer elsewhere. They aren't transferring upward.

Dry January is no more.

He is going to the game on Friday and thinks DePaul should win. He said he hasn't thought that since the Richardson/Simmons days.

Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on January 13, 2026, 08:32:21 PMHow about running some plays and get the young ones involved and improving

We don't have an offense. 

Quote from: illiniwarriors on January 13, 2026, 08:27:38 PMIf we wait for those guys to develop,we will be complaining again next season. We need immediate help and lots of it.

I'd bet you'll be complaining either way.

How much crow can one person eat if MU pulls a Georgtown and wins the BE tourny?

How about running some plays and get the young ones involved and improving

I will say this: it's on our players, specifically our returning guys, to find a way to play with far more pride and grit.  We haven't seen it.  This is one of the most bizarre performances I can remember from our so called best player and Sr. leader.  And it began to unravel when he was abused on a back door to start the 2H.  That cannot happen and we've seen it time and time again.  Play with sone fire and pride or just give give Scoopers your pay-check.

Doesn't matter when you have your roster's second best player is Ryan Rollins or Kevin Porter Jr.

But no worries. After losing to the Nuggets down Jokic, Murray, and Braun we only trail the Timberwolves down Ant and Gobert by 31 at the half. Horst will trade our 2031 first for LaVine or Ja and we'll be in the NBA Finals!

I'm convinced he's the worst GM in all of sports. Knows absolutely nothing beyond making desperation moves for the biggest name available. Lucked into that player actually being a basketball fit once and having enough talent left over to him from the previous front office that it worked. And you couldn't Draft worse than he has if you had a big list of top 100 prospects in the draft, blindfolded yourself, and threw darts at the list and drafted that way.
