Sorry no pass for Shaka this season....

I believe the Bucks have been a benefit to MU. However, I think MU not having a football team more than offsets the Bucks benefit to MU. I think there is a big reason why basketball coaches like to take recruits to their schools football game.

Really?  I would think it would be an advantage to be able to tell recruits that unlike at a football school, the basketball team is the biggest thing on campus at Marquette.

Cuts both ways.

I have no expectation for record or postseason or whatever.  I will judge Shaka on what I see on the floor.  I think back to Kevin O'Neill's first two seasons which included an 11-18 record in year two and feeling good that he was on the right track.

Same.

Makes a difference, if the player goal is to be the big dog on campus. A team player not so much.

This thread deserves a bump.   

A "greatest hits collection of season predictions by the know-it-alls"

or

A manifesto for wannabe members of the "Cult of Low Expectations"


A shout out to Panda for calling out his predictions for the team performance (your only miss was Ellis)...

Thanks - I usually make talent predictions based on watching the games but I fell trap to coaches hype and highlight videos with him. It's a good problem to have when your last guy on the bench has such a high ceiling.

I should say "only miss, so far" - I think Ellis will be a stud down the road, not needed right now...

I still chuckle at all the 10K+ post posters telling us how its going to be this season...
