Quote from: WhiteTrash on January 31, 2026, 11:15:12 PMThanks for pointing out we can't win in a bad conference.  I think more salt in this wound is just what MU fans need. 

We can win!!!  100%

Quote from: forgetful on January 31, 2026, 07:25:57 PMDo you honestly not understand it? They are going around detaining people simply because they don't look American (non-white), or have an accent, with no other reason to suspect any wrong doing.

They are then taken away to detention centers, sometimes in completely different states, interrogated, and mistreated.

Citizens, legal immigrants and others are afraid to go out and go to work, run their business, or go to school, because they can be detained just for the way they look.

That's why businesses by you are a mess. Because terror, and fear is the goal. Even my right-wing friends admit that, it isn't about the rule of law it is to create fear so immigrants are afraid to even come here.

Eh, who cares if U.S. citizens, including veterans and teenagers, are being hauled away, detained and denied due process? They had it coming!

Quote from: 1SE on January 31, 2026, 11:52:52 PMJust because we are now playing better than the absolute dumpster fire of a few weeks ago doesn't excuse the otherwise really subpar in game coaching this year.

I said (maybe not here), we're the mid major team, we can hang on for a half.

I'm glad the guys had the Creighton game, they've worked hard and deserved that

Roster construction aside, this team has executed poorly in"winning time" pretty much all year. That's either because Shaka is dialing up bad choices or his players aren't exectuing the good ones - both on him. 

Just because we are now playing better than the absolute dumpster fire of a few weeks ago doesn't excuse the otherwise really subpar in game coaching this year.

I'll still hold out hope for the BET because never say die, but we have get to see this team close games in a way that gives me any confidence we won't see and early exit.

Quote from: MuggsyB on January 31, 2026, 06:40:32 PMThe thing is, it's not what I would call a trap at all.  Ben didn't even have his hands up on that one 35 feet from the rim late in the game.  It was almost impossible not to score on that garbage.  I've asked very politely to 🪓 this strategy since Oso left.  It appears I have been ignored. 

It should have been a switch but Chase got caught in no man's land and decided on a slow trap. Chase was out of position quite often today, IMO, but switching that far from the basket makes little sense. That's the design. In any event, cut back on the TOs, box out like BE players, and hit some damn FTs and it doesn't matter.

Quote from: Markusquette on January 31, 2026, 09:32:19 PMFor next year I'd like to roll with only the current underclassmen minus Hamilton

James | Transfer
Stevens | Phillips / Walker | Johnston
Transfer | EGBuonu / Miletic
Parham | Owens | Recruit/Transfer
Transfer | Sheek | Clark

I don't necessarily disagree with this

I think it's interesting that in the above scenario Marquette would have 6 players with in game experience in a Marquette uniform- 2 of those with limited minutes- and 8 without.

I'm ok with that and I hope Shaka is too.

As for the actual transfer part- my take is that Shaka should bring in the two best players he can regardless of position, and move the remaining pieces as needed and as he sees fit. I'd like an impact scorer with 2 years remaining and a reliable defensively talented big, but my hope is that he brings in the 2-3 best players he can and let the rest work itself out.

Only for the best party.  He probably delivers on that as well as he delivers autonomous cars.

Quote from: rocky_warrior on January 31, 2026, 11:27:10 PMCan we talk about this reasonably?  Obama and Biden seem squeaky clean. 

No so much:

To be fair a lot of the people he's blindly endorsing the actions of were on a special island too.

Quote from: tower912 on January 31, 2026, 08:17:43 AMDoesn't change the calculus.

Can we talk about this reasonably?  Obama and Biden seem squeaky clean (though they both obviously had a Clinton problem).
