Culture win(s)
« on: March 15, 2024, 08:13:21 AM »
What we witnessed last night, as well as what we've seen in the 4 games since Tyler went down, was the culture Shaka has built at MU just 3 years into his time as head coach.  I believe he defined culture as "how we act, interact and react."  A couple of tenets of that culture that were on full display last night:

-Get past hard
-Win anyway

We fought like crazy at Creighton without Oso and Tyler.  We battled UCONN on a night UCONN shot the ball 50% from 3 on 13 of 26 shooting.  We've now won on the road at Xavier, and earned a win 5 vs 8 against a veteran Nova team and 3 biased Big EAST officials.

I can see why Lens has suggested "Lifetime Contract."  MU hit the jackpot with Shaka in every single facet from who he is as a person first, coach second, and a great ambassador for MU as a whole.  That aside, I still was wondering why he sat Gold for the last 13 minutes.  But hey, we won the game anyway.  Also this was a good take from MU 82

It’s not easy to get all excited thinking you’ve won on a great play, finding out you didn’t actually win, getting over the disappointment, and then winning in OT.

Showed a lot of mental strength. Proud of the guys.

Ners, it’s ok to question specific coaching decisions; we all do occasionally. My wife and I were both wondering why Gold didn’t play more, especially given some of Joplin’s struggles.

But damn if Jop didn’t deliver in OT!

Again, that’s Shaka having faith in his guys, which in turn builds their confidence. Just another part of the culture he’s building.

Like you, I’ve been so impressed with how well our team has performed without our All-American.

Shaka, in his locker room speech last night, predicted that they "would need everybody's a$$ tomorrow".

Ergo, It Takes A$$.

I was way past hard when Kam made that layup. Alas, it was premature.

Great post. 

As an aside last night’s game was much less stressful to watch just now knowing the outcome;)

Playing in the BET Finals (plus adding a Q1 road win) without your AA PG. Amazing.

Playing without fear and for each other.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

I am a system guy and MU has a system. You see in every guy that Shaka recruits. IMO, that is how you become top tier program for the long haul.
