2023 Team Outlook

[MuggsyB]

Better go with medieval weapons inside.

Truthfully, I don't know yet about our arsenal. 

[Newsdreams]

Is this someone you normally Broeker information from?

I think you're going to force him plead the 5th

[jfp61]

I think you're going to force him plead the 5th

I plead the 3rd.

I plead the 3rd.

Anti-military

[PointWarrior]

Are you sure? the Mopes seem to think that MU lost the scrimmage...

Don't think it was quite to that level, but also not particularly close.

We didn't beat the spread = loss

I'm here for the Tyler Kolek "F You" tour this year.

I got it wrong. It's the "F Them" tour.

[Shooter McGavin]

 Nice call on your part.  If he backs it up and start well in conference, those t-shirts will sell like crazy.

New Ben Steele article dicussing TK's shooting
Oops: Kolek said he missed all four of his three-point attempts against Loyola (Chicago) in a closed-door scrimmage last weekend at the Al McGuire Center.

BE Coaches and Ken Pomeroy don't think Marquette will be good this season. Shaka has his work cut out for him to change the perception of Marquette Basketball. Go Warriors!

This should keep the COLE Patrol going

I’ve really grown to appreciate crean over the years. The guy lives and breathes hoops and truly loves MU. Very exciting words from him -

Mopes worried about perception now.   Just win, that’s all that’s needed.

You live for crap like this.   

Oh, about your "I have factually stated that we sucked for 10 years". That includes '12-13'. Explain the link. Did we suck because we did not make it into the Final Four?

King of the Mopes worried about perception now.   Just win, that’s all that’s needed.

Is it just me or is all this talk of Tyler’s exceptional shooting just an undue burden on the kids game coming into the season?

I get that Shaka wants him to shoot because he sees it in practice and it’ll take his game to the next level, but I worry that all the talk is just going to put more pressure on him to make shots.

Call me a worry wart, but I don’t think TyKo lacks confidence.
Maybe in his shot he does because it hasn’t translated to the games, so the play is to build up the confidence to get him believing in hopes that he shoots his way out of it.

Can’t remember hearing so many compliments about a poor/average in game 3P shooter in my time as a fan.

Hope it works!

I think you meant 'complaints". A poster's autocorrect once resulted in his accusing me of "fishing for complaints" Hell, I'm married! I get more complaints by noon every day than I can possibly handle for the rest of the day.

Why didn’t you wash the dishes?

I meant compliments, from those that matter (ie the coaches)

I think the complaints mainly come because as a fan base we’ve heard he’s a great shooter.
If we didn’t hear that I’m pretty sure we would just say “well this kid has a lot of moxie and an amazing ability to read the game and make the perfect pass, but perhaps he should just stick to only taking the wide open 3”
Versus “where in the heck is that shooting ability we keep hearing about?”

He’s a crazy hard worker and a very good practice player so it doesn’t surprise me he’s shooting the ball well this off season.

But end of the day, he needs to shoot substantially better than last season. He’s going to have the ball in his hands a ton this year and it’s going to be ugly if he’s not shooting above a respectable clip.
