Mike McDaniel going to the Chargers as OC.

Quote from: tower912 on January 20, 2026, 10:46:53 AMViper, in regards to a transfer like OMax, I loved Omax and thought he was NBA bound after the UNC loss.  But, IMO, there is nowhere to put him.
Parham 6'8 (9?)
DO
Ian
Phillips
Walker
EJ
Egbuono

7 players in that size range already.

good point...I forgot about the RS's. (Hope I'm wrong but my gut says Phillips might depart. I thought he'd get more PT of late. Maybe Friday he'll get some run)

Credit to Shaka for the timeout at the end of the first half. We rebounded a miss with 45 seconds left. Called TO, then executed a perfect 2-for-1. Stevens hit the three with 40 seconds left and there was about a 5-6 second difference between game and shot clock guaranteeing we'd get another possession.

Stevens made the steal that got us 8 seconds, then Owens hit another three right before the buzzer (should've been an and-one, Oswin ran him over) to complete the 6-point swing.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on January 20, 2026, 01:18:09 PMWith the exception of NJ which Marquette players would be highly regarded based on their performance on the court come this spring?

1) Obviously NJ
2) Stevens, a freshman with his efficiency starting at the high major level would generate demand.
3) Parham, he's a high major player. Probably best suited as a sixth man, but would get offers after two relatively successful seasons.
4) Owens, someone would bet on the upside.
5) Clark, the efficiency, rebounding, and seven-foot frame would get interest.

"During the encounter, Pope Leo acknowledged the group, saying, 'Go Marquette.'"

It's official. MU has the support of the pope.

Illinois has 5 Croatians on this years team.All of them have played professionally in Europe and 1 is a 24 year old freshman.

He'll be placed in the Santo/Baines wing of the Hall.

I agree that MU has a great chance to keep James,but remember good players like to WIN.If Shaka doubles down on not using the portal James will be gone.All the kids want to make $$$$ and go to the NCAA T-ment.

Quote from: MU82 on January 20, 2026, 05:02:24 PMWe couldn't believe that the two guys in front of us - who had dutifully watched the first 39+ minutes, even standing and cheering on several occasions - left with less than 30 seconds to go. Craziness!

A lot of people wanted to beat the traffic, I guess. Glad we stuck around to the bitter sweet end.
