I just surprised there's not more b1tching about the lack of a "true point guard"

Quote from: tower912 on February 05, 2025, 05:49:44 PMDon't forget the aircraft carrier argument. MU has not had one in the 18 years scoop has been around.


And myopia.  Thinking universal themes like losing streaks that happen to nearly every team every season are unique to MU and should lead to an existential crisis.

Well, since basketball has become positionless, I think we're right where we need to be.
The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose", is a gesture of friendly intent often associated with Hawaii and surf culture.

This is a team that will likely end up 3rd in the BE at best and, at worst, 5th. Yes, they beat Purdue, Maryland, and Wisc early on, but none of those teams were as good then as they are now. Truth is, the team's upside is limited, largely because of shooting woes but also because Ben Gold is too often overmatched and Joplin is simply Joplin - you never know what you are going to get. I think it true that Shaka expected more from the bench players, and it has taken a while for that to actually happen. But, now that the bench is playing better, the starters are levelling off. I think we all know that Shaka's developmental model has some risk and will create some inconsistencies - and may lead to some down years. Is he eventually going to use the portal to solve some roster issues? Probably. But, I suspect it will be very limited. I doubt that MU has the money available to play that game very aggressively. I have no choice but to believe that Shaka knows what he is doing.

We only get the easy wins.  And even the hard wins were easy.

Shaka just isn't trying at all to get an aircraft carrier that shoots 40% from 3 and plays pg.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

I think there are several under reported lingering injuries.  Stevie's achilles, wrists for Kam and Chase.  Shin splints for Ben.  I think that the bench is getting it earns.  I think Shaka would love to be able to play the bench more. They have to produce.  A tale as old as time.  Play defense.  Know the scout.  Run the offense.  Take the right shots.

Purdue was 6th when we beat them, now 7th
Wisconsin was 11th when we beat them, now 21st
Maryland was unranked when we beat them now 18th

Making quite the dishonest argument here.

Quote from: The Sultan on February 05, 2025, 04:15:15 AMI think in retrospect this was an imperfect team that played over its head to start the year, and now its imperfections have been exposed.

And yes, I think a lot of the "playing over its head" was because they didn't have to integrate transfers into the mix.
