You would think freshmen would get better as the season progresses. However, we have seen more than one freshmen hit the wall halfway through the Big East season.

Two things are pretty consistent with freshmen. They tend not to be strong enough and they tend to get called for a lot of fouls.

Didn't some smart coach basically say  best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores

Which brings it full circle.   This season will be more about the process than the outcome.

Our Coach is still actively recruiting players in the portal. So my view is , pending the results of these efforts ,this season is still about the outcome .

We’ll see.  Texas fans are saying the same thing about their new coach compared to their old coach, hey?
Not following Texas fans emotions, but that does sound right.

If we get anyeam that is more than the sum of its parts, and Shaka has a good recruiting season thats all we need in year 1. Any actual accomplishments are icing on the cake.

Enjoying the hell out of the process.   Still enjoying the wins and not sweating the losses.   The growth is impressive.

It's the advantage of the COLE, you're either right or pleasantly surprised.

I clearly remember you saying we'd sweep Nova and would be looking at a top-20 ranking. Well done!

This team continues to outperform my (adjusted) expectations. But I have been raising them accordingly throughout the season. At the start of the season I thought we'd just sneak into the NCAAT. I still thought that after the 1st Creighton loss. After we won @Nova I thought we'd certainly be in and was thinking we'd be in the 7-10 seed range with hope for a 6. I am now thinking we can get a protected seed and the 2nd weekend. We win out and I'm thinking FF.

I can’t see Shaka finishing less than .500 in Conf.

I really get a kick out of this line of posting from you.

On the one hand, you have had many, many comments in which you expressed very low expectations, including predicting 1-5 for this stretch of games in which we've gone 4-1 so far. You have said that was a matter of your expectations being "realistic at the time" but then being adjusted after the fact.

On the other hand, anybody else who was being realistic about their expectations before and/or earlier in the season gets labeled by you as being part of the cult of low expectations ... even if they have adjusted their expectations as the season has progressed.

Right now, I think we have a legit shot at the Final Four. You say you'll think so only if we win out. But I know ... I know ... you're not in the COLE, you're just realistically reacting to your constantly adjusting expectations, or something like that.

I hope you have a friend or family member who can help you extract yourself from the logic pretzel you've twisted yourself into. I wish you luck.

We Are Marquette!
