It is well known that the Big Ten struggles to win titles. This year, the tournament is lining up to be anyone's game. Even a Big Ten team.

Don't worry. Your Weasels will easily be a top-3 team in the NCAA Tournament.

Quote from: BM1090 on March 03, 2026, 03:46:14 PMThat Xavier game wasn't even in the top 5 bad games this season.

Bartorvik's worst games of the year by game score.

@ Creighton (12th percentile)
Depaul (16th percentile)
Maryland (34th percentile)
@ Xavier (38th percentile)
Indiana (39th percentile)
Dayton (42nd percentile)
Valparaiso (47th percentile)
Georgetown (47th percentile)
@ Purdue (48th percentile)

That's 9 Sub 50th percentile games from Marquette this year.

Shaka had 5 in the previous 3 seasons.

He's the type of player I'd imagine we'd be targeting. Immediate help to the defense, more capable offensively than our current guys outside of RP, AS, and NJ

Quote from: The Sultan on March 02, 2026, 08:44:27 AMThis isn't just a down year. This is a monumental failure of a season we are talking about. We are literally going to have a worse year winning percentage-wise than any year under Bob Dukiet!

Yep...almost certainly. Two of my years on campus were the two worst teams (winning percentage-wise) since the early 60s. 1987-88 was 0.36 and 1990-91 was 0.38. It's looking like this team may have a worse winning percentage than either those teams. At this point, to even match the 1987-88 team we'll have to beat Providence and win one in the BET. I think that's doable, but I wouldn't bet my 'Scoop dues on it.

Aside from a garbage-time minute vs. Georgetown, Josh Clark hasn't played a single second in weeks. Seems like Shaka has made up his mind on Clark, and it's hard to believe he's in the plans for the future.

Quote from: BM1090 on March 03, 2026, 09:35:59 PMThere are clearly going to be more transfers. There are clearly going to be multiple additions. I'm surprised this is still a conversation.

But Shaka wore a shirt with an RGV patch last game to send a message...

One can keep going back and forth on which clown is the most incompetent Cabinet member of the Idiocracy. Hegseth is always solidly in contention, though.

Several coaches interviewed in The Athletic's piece about best portal pickups mentioned Colton Joseph, the QB the Weasels got from Old Dominion.

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 10:04:49 AMDo we have a Byrd in hand?

The defense would be wonderful.. and maybe him being a crappy shooter (but solid relative to this year's MU team, I guess) isn't horrible -- 'hey, we're bringing in a new guy, but he's a defensive stud... you offensive guys still get to shine, because RGV'

Oh nothing official. But it sounds like we love the prospect of adding him to what we've currently got from an analytics standpoint.

I like MP2, but for my sanity I have his arrival delayed until 2027-28. That defense just needs a lot more time to get ripe, imo.
