So, tomorrow or next week, the question implied by the OP needs answered.  If not Shaka, who?   

Since there is no good answer to that question, moving on.
Agreed. The implication is Marquette can do better. Would love a list.

If he isn't the forever coach, think that will be more his choice than MUs.

I know people say NIL is the death of college hoops, but I think MU will be playing past Shaka's lifetime.

This is one of the dumbest threads ever.

Proud of Shaka, proud of this team. Sucks we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn on 3's tonight.

Clearly it's an emotional take, but anyone who questions Shaka's fitness for the job is beyond an idiot.

3 wins with two 2 seeds.

There's so much to love about Shaka, but not getting it done in tourney is why he parted ways with TX.

Has yet to beat a single digit seed while at MU. Hasn't beat a single digit seed in the tourney since... ?

dumb thread...   Shaka does need to recruit more accurate shooters.

That’s not it. If they shoot even 5-% below their average, they win running away.

The kids choked in the moment. I feel for them.

Shaka is the guy.  There are NO alternatives in the same class, NONE.

That being said, if he is given Wojo levels of support and only produces this single Sweet Sixteen, we'll talk in 2030.

What should he have done to make the team shoot better than 4/31?

They peaked in Maui. That’s not good coaching.

Put the freshmen in? Inexcusable. They couldn't have played worse.

I think the problem with Shaka is that he turned his nose up at the portal and it bit him in the ass.

They clearly needed a physical big who could bump and rebound from the end of last year. Oso is good but he can't match up with some of these guys. He was not his best these last 2 weeks and they had no backup plan.

The fire Shaka stuff is dumb though. This program is still WAY ahead of schedule.

I hope Shaka learns from this and starts using the portal to fill glaring needs.

Nice vote of confidence. So glad we’re stuck with him.

We should have driven to the basket more than we did.  Not being able to go to Oso for some inside buckets compounded out shooting issues.

We held them to 0.97 PPP on the game. Missed what, 20 unguarded threes? The game plan was fine. The execution was awful. And that's not mentioning Oso bobbling every entry or blowing bunnies.

If we play bad, we beat them by double digits. Coaching wasn't the problem. Not even remotely.
