Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 11:54:26 AMIf you're relying on John Rothstein for your CBB information, again, more on you.

I'm hardly relying on him for something. I'm referring to what was publicly being discussed about him prior to the season.

Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 08:03:26 AMMassive number for NVIDIA.  AI is a freight train from a market perspective. 
Nvidia isn't an AI company, they're a 'shovel' company during this gold rush. 

I just wish they would do a better job with their consumer cards. The 5090 being their only offering with 32gb of memory is frustrating.

Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on Today at 12:27:52 PMYes and then Shaka said he said Nigel should have probably taken the shot after Chase passed to him. But then Nigel passed to Ben who passed to Chase if not mistaken.

Watched that play several times now and I thought Dayton's coverage was actually pretty solid. I think our best bet was for Ross to just step into that 24 footer on the wing and either just shoot it or at least get the defender to commit to him which would have left Nigel wide open in the corner.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 12:08:19 PMSo Shaka recruits great, then below par, then great, then below par? I don't hate it, but it ain't RGV.

Just saying it's harder to get great recruits when they will sit on the bench behind other high level players.  Definitely makes it tough. 

This is from a monetary perspective as well at a place like MU.  If they are paying Kam or Tyler $1M for example, it makes it harder to pay a really high level recruit like Kon what it takes in addition to that. 

So, as painful as it will be this year and possibly next, I am going to choose to look at this as Shaka's first year of a rebuild but from a talent deficit compared to his true first year.  This rebuild will take longer.

Quote from: HutchwasClutch on Today at 06:36:27 AMI still haven't heard from Shaka what he wanted there.  His post game radio interview he merely recapped what everyone saw and that he wished Chase would have taken the open look.

Yes and then Shaka said he said Nigel should have probably taken the shot after Chase passed to him. But then Nigel passed to Ben who passed to Chase if not mistaken.

Quote from: cheebs09 on Today at 12:12:38 PMI'm learning that Secret Scrimmage results are not indicative of how good a team is.

Assumed it was just a funny troll post when it was reported we gave up 110 points to Colorado, but that may have actually been true.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on Today at 12:16:00 PMDoes anyone think this could be Shaka's worse season? He was 11-22 his second season at Texas.
I highly doubt it but if you look at these results it does make it a reasonable question:

Incarnate Word @ IU 61-69
Mount St. Mary's @ Maryland 90-95/OT
UMBC @ Dayton 71-77

Shaka's peak at MU may well turn out to have been December 20th, 2023. It's actually been pretty grim since then - I think we're like 2-9 against ranked teams in 2024 and 2025?

Quote from: HutchwasClutch on November 19, 2025, 11:25:21 PMI'm coming to the conclusion Zaide is just plain soft.

Agree last year thought Zaide was a bad ass but he might be a super kitten

It's easy being self-righteous when you're an evangelical Christian like myself.
