Fun quotient
« on: December 31, 2022, 05:35:49 PM »
We all seem to agree that this team is a lot of fun to watch. 

How far back do you have to go to match that?  Is the DJO and Crowder teams?  Is the 2003 FF team?  What do think?

I thought the mighty mites with Sam were a fun team to watch despite the fact they couldn't defend a chair.

2018-19 was a lot of fun until February. Even 2018, with the Rowsey/Howard combo. But in terms of being both fun and good on both ends, 2011-12. That team was a blast.

I agree about the 2018-19 year being fun until the February collapse.  But it was still too much Markus.  Shaka’s group has more balance and lots of guys can be SOTG on any given night.

There were a lot of really fun home games in 2018-2019, but I’d agree with you. Have the benefit of hindsight to know that team collapsed though. Hope this team finishes more strongly.

20-2 streak was a lot of fun.

The three amigos coming on the scene was an extremely exciting team.  Three starting freshman.

If you are a basketball fan and someone that appreciates team basketball all over the court, this is the best since Buzz. Good news, much higher ceiling moving forward. I do not think Shaka is out of second gear in driving this program and getting more talent is on the way. That said, I am going to enjoy this team every step of the way.

Rowsey was one of my all time favorite MU players to watch. A poor man’s Kolek ability to manipulate a defense and dish, a poor man’s Markus’s scoring ability, and no interest in defense.

Wasn't really a poor man's markus howard in terms of scoring ability. He outscored markus howard while having to feed markus howard. dude was a foul magnet.

Rowsey was an incredible pure shooter with some serious swag.  Sometimes when I'm down I watch the Creighton game when he hit three consecutive insane long J's.

Funny how everyone enjoys the 2012 season more than the 2013 one.

Not that I disagree, but just kinda interesting.

Those three years were great and we were on the cusp of being something on the national stage. I loved the DWade FF run, but really enjoyed those three seasons. Hopefully Shaka is building something that has more legs.

This is a very enjoyable team to watch. The coaching staff has done an incredible job of preparing these kids for each game . Consequently, the team has had a chance to win every game .

The guys are playing unselfishly and with a lot of heart . There is also a diversity of skills which keeps things dynamic .

I loved the S16, S16, S8 teams which had so many characters on them and would put these young guys in that same grouping in terms of fun quotient .

I thought the 2010 team was a lot of fun. Really low expectations after the 2009 seniors left and they really over achieved and played some fun games. Loved Acker and Cubillan at the guards and Butler and Lazar competed so hard as undersized bigs. Also Buycks and DJO coming on the scene. It was just a really fun year. So disappointed when that year ended with the loss to Washington.

The midgets were about the last team I enjoyed minute by minute compared to this team.

Maybe a hot take, but Rowsey shot better then Howard and ran the point 1000 times better in my opinion.

Howard just volume shot and people love numbers

How about O’Neill’s Sweet 16 team in 94?  Eford, Robb, Mac, Key, McCaskill…that was the team that really helped return MU to relevance after the Dukiet era.
