Shaka needs to learn from Marcus Freeman....

[tower912]

Maybe Coach Freeman should learn from Coach Smart.

That would be smart.

Guess this take and whole thread has been thrown into the "Freezing Cold Takes" section of Scoop OR is that pretty much Scoop

OP like:

Notre Dame in line to host a first round playoff game. 

I can only imagine how good MU would be if Shaka had gone with youth over experience.

It's ok to admit I make good points

In my opinion a loss to NIU should eliminate ND from any playoff consideration. They do not deserve to be ranked above a number of other teams in the top 25. They are where they are due to past reputation.

I hate ND but they have better wins than a number of teams in the Playoff bracket. Who has Penn State beat? Indiana? Miami? Texas? BYU?

The lesson: if you're going to lose in college football, lose early. This is not new.

Not just that, but I have no idea who you put in there besides ND. There are problems no matter what team you choose.

It think it pretty simply comes down to Saturday. Beating Army is a good win and they'll be in for sure assuming things don't get strange versus USC. If they lose, they may be jumped by someone else.

1. No Deek sucks
2. So should Shaka deviate or not? You don't think Shaka knows this team better than you or anyone else to do what's best by them? It's 9/2........games are two months away. Perhaps it's a tad early to project that the starting lineup will suck.

Yeah, No Dick sucks. Always has and always will. Would not use any thing from No Dick as a learning tool, other than their jersies when wiping in the bathroom.

You can't flush jerseys down the toilet.  It will certainly clog the pipes and create a mess.  That means you must put them in the trash.  Imagine that must smell pretty bad after awhile. 

Anyway, the women's basketball team has 2 national titles this century and have made 9 final 4's.  They've also won the last 2 men's lacrosse championships.  We could probably learn a lot from them about winning national titles

This is absolutely spot on. Losing to NIU on their home field and paying them a million to be there is an automatic disqualifier from the playoffs. But No Dick has input on who gets into the Playoffs. And they will get their ass trounced as usual. They had a terrible schedule and do not play in a conference

No, they don't have input.

I'm wondering if Herm and Willard are defective Beta AI

As usual, I'm always eventually proven right.🤷�♂️

Marcus Freeman is aggressive, fearless and relentless.  He started two true freshman this year and played many others in key roles as well.  He does what it takes to win, and in turn led his team to the second round of the college football playoff in spite of a disastrous early season loss to NIU.

So will Shaka help MU to fully recover from the pathetic and embarrassing Dayton debacle?  Or will that loss become a harbinger of big games to come?  Will Shaka make any necessary personnel and strategic adjustments as we work our way toward March?  Or will he stick with a team that lives and dies by the 3, lacks rebounding and commits a lot of unforced turnovers?  Expounding platitudes like relationships, relationships, relationships wears thin quickly if the losses start to build up. 

It's up to him.  Both ND Football and Marquette Basketball could both be playing in the Final 4 and beyond this year if both coaches dial up the right key decisions along the way. 

I hope they both do!  I'll be cheering for them both! 👏🕺

Dayton sucks

MU committed two turnovers against Butler and destroyed them on the boards.   Which bench player has outplayed a starter through 12 games?

Like getting one of those spam emails with the joke of the day.  His hot takes make me smile and I appreciate them.


Seriously, through 12 games, MU has more steals than turnovers.  9 turnovers per game, 10 steals per game.   To have anyone say that MU is turnover prone or that a bench player deserves to start means they have not actually watched the games. 

I sincerely hope that the bench starts playing so well that a lineup change needs to be considered.  What a delightful problem that would be.

Good timing by Duane.
Right before Xavier at their place.

10 turnovers, 10 steals today.
