Tyler Nickel back in the portal for a second time. Recall that he was one of the few MU reached out to last year around this time.

Nickleback in the portal, huh? He's never gonna be alone.

If that is a nickelback song, shame on you for knowing that

That's how you remind him of what he truly is.

Will be curious to see which Marquette player portals. If they make it through the off-season without an expected contributor portaling, that would be impressive

Define expected contributor.
Only 7 players played against Colorado. It would not surprise me, if any or all of the freshmen left.
On the other hand, it would not surprise me if they all stayed.
We will not know until a few days after our season has ended. I do not expect us to take any players from the portal, if none of our players enter the portal.

Ross, Gold, Joplin, Tre, Zaide, Stevie and Kam if he is back and not in the draft.

Didn’t include Sean because of injury

Maybe some of the frosh will leave. Maybe they will stay. Maybe some of our players will enter the portal. Or maybe they will not. Maybe we will take a transfer. Or maybe we will not.

The game was better when it was only layups, set shots, and midrange jumpers.

My dad passed away in 1983 and one of the clearest memories I have of him was his crazy basketball one legged jump/set shot form which I thought was bizarre and hilarious as a little kid. That was until I later watched the movie Hoosiers and saw 1-2 of the players use the same form. I guess it really was how they shot in the late 1940’s

I'm not thinking about the portal. Just enjoying the ride that is this season. Some day all we will have to look back on is a photograph.

It is a time to enjoy a great run in MU basketball and enjoy every minute. This a special time and plenty of time to talk next year in mid April.

The Weasels don't need any players. Gard always finds a way to get it done.

And he owns Shaka

Marquette has taken The Long Road to get to this point but they’re in the Here And Now for All The Right Reasons. They’re definitely no DarK Horse and I’m looking for them to Get Rollin’ tomorrow night.

The first NCAA tournament game Al won at Marquette was in March of 1968, 56 years ago, against Bowling Green in Kent, Oh. We trailed by 1 with seconds left until PG Jimmy Burke made a shot from the top of the key to win the game. He was the only MU player I ever saw (before Oso) who didn’t ever shoot a jump shot, but his two handed set shot was money. I was at the game and the party at the motel lasted until sunrise.

Wonder if Shaka should explore the portal. It seems all the teams in the sweet 16 have a number of players from the portal.
Just thinking for Mu to have a better chance to win the whole tourney, Shaka might want to explore the portal. This is big time basketball
and we should recruit the best players and the cream rises to the top and the players below can transfer out.

100%. Almost better to lose tomorrow so we can get a jump start on portal guys. Culture be damned.

IMO, MU's participation in the portal will be dictated by 1 thing. How many players beyond TKo and Oso leave. If there are departures, there will have to be additions. If the roster remains status quo, I can picture a guard to help compensate for SJones recovery.

Shaka explores the portal every year. This year will be no different.

Ben Steele has an update on Sean Jones

Jones: Physically, I got full motion in my leg. So just trying to keep that. Doing exercises every day to extend my knee. Get it all the bent, get it all the way straight. So that's what I'm doing physically. Squats, stuff like that.

What's the timeline that they have given you?

Jones: Probably eight-to-nine more months.

I would like to see Zeke Mayo in a MU uniform next year if we have a departure of Kolek and/or Kam.

We need a 6’6” slasher at guard next year
Sean’s height is a disadvantage at the rim
Seemed to me he too often got rejected on drives
