Had an absolute blast traveling to South Bend!

The MU travel party was large and electric. From the pre-reception, to the game, to the Lake Forest Oasis. MU fans were loud and amped.

I am 0-3 at Hinkle, 0-1 at Mackey, and 0-1 at Assembly Hall. Feels good to break the dry spell and come out with the W!

We are Marquette!

Very satisfying victory.  I think the defense wore down ND with them only going 6 deep.  Keep in mind they pretty much played us even the first 15.  From that point on their shots were rushed, they didn't rebound as well and MU controlled the game.  Very encouraging for a road team.
Makes me wish we could have the Wis game back.  Still a little concerned that we haven't proved we can win a close game with all that it takes (free throws, clutch shots under pressure, defensive stops).  Thought the ND game might be the one to "prove that" but how can you hate a double digit road win against a high major.
Starting to feel like Kam has the tools to be that guy to win a close game for us in the clutch.  He can get to the hoop, finish through contact, make free throws and/or hit the 3 if its needed.  Still don't trust Omax in the clutch and it would be nice to have more than one go to guy.

I was at the game. Great time. One thing I noticed was that was the weakest student section I’ve ever seen (granted I’ve never been to a G’town game). I don’t care if it’s finals week. That was embarrassing for ND

Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (midgets of 2009-10), sometimes it’s worse (sub .500 team with Carton, McEwen, Cain, John, Garcia, Lewis and Elliot).

Lewis was a really good player, but not the type Shaka generally recruits. Shaka adapted, Lewis thrived and the team did pretty well. This year (with less talent due to the subtraction of Lewis) Shaka doesn’t have to adapt. He can play the style he prefers with players he recruited to play that style. I think we’ll be better. Only time will tell.

Shaka did recruit Justin when he got the job.

Lotta coaches like to talk about 'addition thru subtraction'. That could be the case here.

I don't think any of us here who feel we are just as good or better without Justin are saying it in a demeaning way. He was outstanding last year and I enjoyed watching him every game.

RC83, why would so many people have you in ignore?   Ha.   Maybe Daniel was being funny?   Or just all wanting to share joy.   Weird.

Is that a SOTG belt that appears at 0:09 (and in the photo below)?


No. The SOTG belt is teal and usually a few games behind
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

The one thing that jumped out to me in the Lewis discussion is that the HC made little effort, or so it seemed, to find a replacement for the Lewis role. No doubt, to replace Lewis with one portal guy was not an easy ask, but just maybe, the HC coach felt filling that role with multiple players was the best path to take going into the season. If Lewis had returned, I question if we would have seen the improvement of a slew of guys, especially in a real game.

Part of success is winning with what you got. There are lots of reasons I wish Justin was back — all relate to the kind of player he is. But he left for the NBA and we are adapting.

Kudos to Shaka.

I’m reminded of when Vander Blue left. It was the beginning of the end for the Buzzard as he couldn’t manage with what was left. It was unfortunate. Shaka is recruiting high quality guys who step up!

Fellas, if I I’m on ignore, I wear that as a badge of honor! 

Well done Daniel.

One brief complaint about the walk-ons.  Number 51 walk-on needs to spread the wealth. These guys get about 10 possessions per year where they can, as a unit, take a shot.  He took our only look today AND he took the two looks they had in the Baylor game.  Name on the front of the jersey, 51!

Not teal.
BUMP!

Great win
