We're HOT

[Cream Biggums]

We're HOT!!!

This is so much fun. Just so wonderful to have our program back. But honestly,  when was the last time we were on this much of a hot streak? Feels like maybe a decade

[5DollarPitcher]

Definitely not since at least April 1, 2014

It is great to say we are hot.  But it would be even better to say "this is Marquette's standard level of play".

It is great to say we are hot.  But it would be even better to say "this Marquettes standard level of play".

It should be and, hopefully, it will be. But we have been abused and gaslit as a fan base for so long. Gaslit into believing the team is too young, too tired, too this, too that, etc, etc, etc - that it's gonna take a little time to accept that we can be a consistently top-tier Big East program.

We won 8 straight with Markus and the brotherly duo

In the middle of a 22-3 run.

That team was sooooo fraudulent. So so fraudulent.

Nice year one for the Shaka era, guessing we will get used to being hot.

In the end.    But the record was the record in the middle of the season.   It was a great stretch that I enjoyed very much.   This year's team is hot.  I love it.   I love defense and toughness.    But the question was about when was the last time MU was on this kind of hot streak.   And the answer is the 18-19 season.     Regardless of how it ended.

Go look at how weak those Big East teams were..none ranked over 55.

[Uncle Rico]

Yes

I haven't had this much fun since Buzz was dancing on the sideline vs. Louisville in 2010.

This streak is better. Go compare the KenPom numbers.

[Uncle Rico]

Yes

[Afroman]

This team could easily have won one (or all) of the three games it lost, too.

[MuggsyB]

Maybe it's me but I feel we're "hot" with tons of room for improvement. I always hope we can get to the Blue Whale vs Krill level.

This program is still in the batter's box. We are going to see a lot of great basketball in the upcoming years.

[MU82]

Totally agree with you, Goose. The best is yet to come. So much fun!

Still, it's sad that some can't enjoy this coach and this year's team for their accomplishments, and instead have to frame everything in terms of previous coaches and teams.

When Shaka leads us to a third straight national title, some mopes will be screaming, "Eff you, Wojo!" instead of "We Are Marquette!" What an odd, sad obsession.

And then flamed out down the stretch, thanks to Wojo-Dukiets incompetence.

I'm with you Goose.  But because of my rapacity I'm thinking about our overall ceiling right now.  What's most encouraging is it's evident that we are capable of winning a number of ways.

That team didn't play nearly the talent level this one did. As soon as that team did, they fell back to wojos earth. Mediocrity.

[tower912]

Again, the question was when is the last time MU was this hot.   The factual answer is 18-19.
