Italy Trip

[The Lens]

Grand scheme? No. But it's one more instance of Marquette falling short of what they have done in the past and what their peers are doing currently.

Enlighten me on what else they are falling short of what they have done in the past.

[Hards Alumni]

Oh it's whining. And do you really think them not streaming these games is about lack of "effort?"

It's either a unexplained choice or lack of effort.

Take your pick.  They're both poor excuses.

To expand, it takes almost zero effort to tell your fans that the games won't be streams for reason X or Y.  That'd shut most of us up... because there was a reason that was communicated as to why fans are being left out of the experience.  A simple tweet fixes that.

Hards coming with a reasonable thought, amazing! But he's right. WHY were these games not streamed?  Just tell us*.

*and prepare for the ensuing hellfire!!

Wads was implying there was a move toward "our way". Nothing is a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but you're avoiding the question/topic.

?? What question am I avoiding?

Grand scheme? No. But it's one more instance of Marquette falling short of what they have done in the past and what their peers are doing currently.

What they did in the past is not relevant at all.  As for their peers, each schools made decisions based on what they felt was best for them - and sometimes they can differ from one another.

Regardless, the whole point is you seem to think this is some massive mistake. But in reality its going to have very little impact on fan engagement, either positively or negatively.

Why are we not streaming? Why are others?

[The Sultan]

Why are we not streaming? Why are others?

Those are two questions. And the answers are "I have no idea" and "I have no idea."

Ok. Let me put it into one: why are we not streaming, yet others including blue bloods are?

I don't know.

So, they have trouble getting fans to show up to buy games. But sure they will show up in droves to watched an afternoon poorly produced streamed game against worse competition in a basic pick up game. Right.....

This is... a poor analysis / comparison tbh, my friend

because games in italia no matta.

Also limited upside. No recruit cares about the competition of a european trip. one kinda decent explanation i heard is by not streaming the games coaches dont have to deal with parents of students getting mad about playing time in these games.

but mostly because marketing is lazy

Bizarre

I, for one, am glad they were not streamed. I don't want the competition to get early gametape of the new wrinkles Shaka has installed in the offense. Or gametape on the freshman.

The idea that if MU simply explained why they aren't streaming games then nobody would complain made me laugh.

I am stunned by the massive complaints I see about the lack of game streamings on social media by the fan base. Almost as many people as won the mega millions this week.
Face it, other than a few die hards, no.one.cares.

Summer is far too nice to watch pick-up basketball on your phone.

Dodds interviewed Coach Haynes about the trip and got some good tidbits:

-Buy stock in Ross and Norman
-Sean buying in
-Ben outta the boot but still not cleared.  Looking good in practice

To me, Ross is the difference between a good season and a national championship contending season. I look at how Jordan Hawkins went from decent role playing freshman to dominant as a sophomore and I could see that being Chase. He may come off the bench, but he has first round NBA draft pick talent.

I agree on the first round athleticism but I'm hoping you are right on the first round talent.  We all saw flashes last year.  If that becomes more consistent this year, then you are right, watch out this could be a special year. 

The good news is if Chase goes NBA, I think Zaide is going to be Chase Ross 2.0 or better.  Smooth athleticism and basketball skill.

It's truly amazing how many heads Sultan lives rent free in on this site. If Scoop brains were real estate, Sultan would own the Burj Khalifa.

It's really not when you factor in quantity of posts, amount of opinions and the know it all factor. Frankly I'm surprised it's not more.
