Hopefully Chase's ankle just needs a day or two of healing, it clearly bugged him for the rest of the game.

Word is on Valpo scoop they aren't happy about losing to a soft mid major like this.

Pitchforks are out and word is Homer Drew is calling his son out of church and prayer to come rescue the program.

I'm hearing from my sources "we would be lucky to be St. Thomas" has been uttered. Delusional

Quote from: Biggie Clausen on December 02, 2025, 09:40:25 PMShaka's kind of turning into an excuses guy.  That's a little surprising, and not great.

Was thinking the same thing as I was listening to his post game comments on the drive home.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 02, 2025, 10:39:21 PMAs bad as this team is...it still mostly revolves around one position.

We are probably 8-1 right now if we have Fischy instead of Hamilton. That's how much that position matters.
Very possible. This is worst front court I've ever seen at this program

Quote from: DoctorV on December 02, 2025, 10:58:16 PMHe can't sound any different in a post game press conference.

He's not here to appease me or you.

He's the head guy of a program that could be on the verge of a disastrous season but he's got to do his best to coach what he's got to respectability.

He's trying to win games, and to improve the mentals of those kids in that locker room, and that's all he can do in the moment.

In the presser he said he saw something in Adrien's face that made him play him, and he also saw the opposite in Zaides and he rightfully benched him because he was out of it today.
He did the same with Tre, Damarius, etc.
He's gotta play someone at the 5 and it seems pretty clear that Clark isn't extremely usable just yet, as bad as Caedin has been.

At the end of the day he completely mis-judged the talent and ability many of the guys had, and that's completely on him.

He can't just abandon ship and throw the team under the bus 10 games in, he's got a team to coach and he will do the best he can.
As the Greek proverb says, he made his bed and now it's time for him to sleep in it.

I'd think much worse of him if he didn't try to stay the course the entire season.
What he does when it's over is a whole other story

Look at the social accounts showing the final score: RELATIONSHIPS. GROWTH. VICTORY. sprawled there at the very bottom. It's a unnatural carnal knowledgeing disease in this program and enabled by our school pres and incompetent buffoon of an AD.

Quote from: rocky_warrior on December 02, 2025, 10:51:51 PMI'm guessing they never had 10 players play 10+ min per game (injuries beginning/end of the year skew stats).  A couple cases with 9, most with 8.

Anyhow, the point isn't Florida, it's that it only takes ~8 good players to make a good team (sometimes a few less than that).  So, if Shaka can hit on about 50% of his 15 scholarships, Marquette can be a good team.  The original 75% number would be a crazy hit rate, I doubt any college coach hits that.


Seems reasonable. Right now, MU is about halfway there. It's just that as many as 2 or 3 of the current top 4 would be in the bottom 4 of the rotation on a competitive 8-9 deep team.

Junior and Sophomore class tonight: A combined 10 points on 2-19 shooting.

The Athletic Director needs to sit down with Shaka and tell him he can't run those two classes back again. Half of them are bench players, the other half don't belong at this level.
