He was not. They just weren't going to fire him after making the tournament.

Without Playing A Game Marquette's NET RANKING Improved From #111 To #108 Today. NIT Bubble Watch here we come.

Marquette's Kenpom Improved To #101 Today also.
Both are better than DePaul. We are closing in on Undefeated Miami OH's Kenpom of #83

Quote from: 79Warrior on February 12, 2026, 09:14:50 AMMy guess is we get two additions. A 5 and a shooter..

I'd like to keep it all in the Big East and take Erhunmwunse from Providence when that staff gets fired, and his two years left at the 5 (allowing Parham to remain at the 4 and taking most of BG's minutes) and then Bizjack from Butler (because why not) and his senior year playing the 2/3 and taking most of Chase's minutes.

Quote from: BM1090 on February 12, 2026, 12:37:32 PMComplicated dude. I hated him for awhile, and like Wags said the DUI stuff and the slurs are truly unacceptable and degenerate behavior. But I did start seeing him in a different light after the Da'Sean Butler injury

Cameras were on.

Obviously, I could not give a single rip about the man.  He's shown his true colors time an time again.

Quote from: Jay Bee on February 12, 2026, 03:12:53 PMIf by "out of necessity" you mean "long overdue with the delay (especially Royce) caused by insane coaching decisions", sure.

I mean by "out of necessity" because none of the juniors or seniors stepped into that role this year.

Royce should've been starting from day 1, but let's not pretend he was playing well early in the year.  Through the Wisconsin game he was averaging 7.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.7 assist, 0.6 block, 0.6 steal, and 1.1 turnover per game in 21.2 minutes per game, shooting 40.5% from the field, 20.6% from 3, and 57.1% from the line.  His minutes would have been higher against Albany (18) if it wasn't a blowout, Little Rock (18) if it wasn't a blowout, had 4 fouls against Maryland but still played 25 minutes, and Valpo (18) if he didn't have 4 fouls.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 12, 2026, 02:35:12 PMCost himself a bunch of NIL money with that performance.

Seriously, though, as good as he's been people should still expect some ups & downs (and I think most do).

I was the source of the quoted stuff and 100% agree. It's year 1. Growth is happening. He is going to be good if he keeps this up

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on February 12, 2026, 01:59:26 PMThe Pacers sure aren't trying to tank, or if they are, they're doing a piss poor job of it; look at their activity at the trade deadline. 5-5 in their last 10.

The Pacers' deadline activity is how you know they are trying to tank - they just need to do a better job of it. They are trying to prevent their 2026 first from being sent to LAC in the Zubac deal.  They keep it (and send a 2031 unprotected first instead) if it is in the top 4 or outside the top 10. It conveys if its 5-9.
