Shaka's 2024-2025 Season Accomplishments

[CountryRoads]

Lots of updating needed-maybe after tonight!  7 game streaks, BET results, BE COY

They need to remove (or rephrase) the "avoidance" goals!

[1SE]

My "[" b "]" button is wearing out...

Whelp - that sucked - mostly because this team could have done even more.

But all that said the season was still successful beyond what any of us thought at the start of the year. Two banners to hang, MUs highest in season ranking in 40 years, a BEPOY and BECOY. Well done boys.

The beauty is I think its very unlikely this is the only team w legit FF aspirations were going to see. Man I hope we can keep the team together for the year b/c w gold and Ross and jops development we could be bolding even more things next year

[dinger]

Damn

A great year. An unreal year. An awesome team.

Losing sucks. Add us to the list of teams Izzo beat in March.

Damn.

Give Shaka an extension and pay raise

Pretty good final tally.

Let's hope we bold some brand new things next year - some NCAA succes (and Beat Bucky!)

[1SE]

Added #1 in season and final ranking as options - start 6-0 and it should be ours.

Lots of bold last year, but a few glaring omissions. Successful season means we bold some new things.

If you'll allow me to pick a nit, the "Top 5 ranking (in-season)" accomplishment should not be bolded. The team is not in-season yet, and current rankings are pre-season. If we lose our first game, then I assume we would drop notably down in the first in-season rankings of the year.

Picky, picky, I know.

You could address it (while keeping a bolded line!) by adding in a "Top 5 ranking (pre-season)" option.

I get the point, but also, they'll play two games ranked at 5 before the Nov. 15th poll comes out - so I'd say they were ranked top 5 in season.

Lots of things already bolded for Nov. 22nd. Lots of x2 and x3s.

Can't wait for the BE Season, but really can't wait for March.

I know Shaka isn't keen on avoidance goals, but it is really nice we haven't had a Q3 or Q4 loss since he took the reins.

[PointWarrior]

Beat Bucky  ugh

St. Thomas says hi

St. Thomas says hi

We beat St. Thomas.

[Uncle Rico]

We beat St. Thomas.

I don't think thats true

I don't think thats true

It's the Mandela effect.

[Zog from Margo]

Three consecutive seasons with a winning conference record in the BE. Crean was the last MU coach to have three consecutive seasons with a winning BE conference record. Wojo only had a winning BE conference record twice in seven years.

I haven't updated the link below for the last DePaul game yet, but Shaka has the best conference winning percentage MU has ever seen.  It will be .722 after the update.

A 17 win season last year helps that.

Finally found the heart to complete the updates.

This deserves more kudos. Well done.

Overton Window

Already a few nice tallies on the board for Shaka. Plus a new unlock - first time we've been t-10 D in Kenpom - let's see if we finish there!

Amazed at what Shaka has done here in 4 years - huge next 3 games - win them all and a 1 seed will be ours to going into conference play. Win 2 of 3 and we're still in the complete drivers seat for a 3rd protected seed in 3 years - in a year in which we lost our top two guys to the draft. This is what MUBB should be. All that's missing is April success.
