Doesn't look like Norman is playing.  Ben with a mask.

Shaka said Tre and Ben injuries not serious. DO also

Shaka hiding DO from opponents - great move!

I believe Shaka said DO hasn't practiced yet...will be back on Monday.  Did his typical intro of players...his comments on Zaide stood out the most to me. Wouldn't give a timeline on Sean.

Yes on Zaide. Also said Chase is gonna have a spectacular year.

Sounds like Owens is a redshirt candidate

It's always felt like Shaka wants Zaide to be great.

He mentioned last year that he was the lead recruiter for him and that the other coaches weren't convinced, so he's got a little extra chip on the shoulder with him.

Hearing portal. Citing mind games.

Any updates on early test scores, GPA, etc?

The walk ons are traditional.....

I thought the guys looked pretty damn good.

Not having concessions was a big miss. Lots of families here, we weren't the only ones to meant early. In the past we always got hot dogs and chips, nothing fancy but with 1,000+ there they left a lot of cash on the table. We left early because I didn't want to spend 2 hours listening to "I'm hungry" on repeat.

Line of the day from my 6-year-old daughter: "I'm pissed, I'm hungry, I didn't get to see Iggy. This was bad."

Incomprehensible decision to hold a scrimmage from 11-1 in the afternoon and not open the concession stands that have typically been open for these events in the past.

Came for insights on players. Left w b1tching about the lack of cheap nasty hot dogs. Smh

What a take on our first look at the '24-'25 season. No snacks.

Bottom of the league type team.  #longyear #nosnacks

Hit up real chili after leaving the scrimmage?

BYOS, hey?

When you probably have 300 kids in the building and hold it at lunchtime, that's an inexplicable miss. If Marquette wants to build the next generation of fans, they should plan these events with them in mind. On the way out, three other families leaving early were talking about the lack of food.

It's also been standard in the past. We planned our day around this event and expecting Marquette to provide food we could purchase like they always have in the past isn't a big ask. Instead, as we left my 6-year-old said "I'm pissed, I'm hungry, I didn't get to see Iggy. This was bad." That's some great fan outreach.

It was great to watch live basketball again.  A little sloppy at times, as expected in intrasquad scrimmages when both teams know all the plays being run.

This team is going to be very good.  Preseason ranked between 15-20, as all the projections have us, feels about right to me.

Not having concessions was a miss. But it has nothing to do with "building the next generation of fans."

Doesn't your sweater vest have pockets for peanuts and a juice box?
I kid.

Yeah, it does. My daughter has been asking "when are we going back to the Marquette game" since April. She was excited for today, then wanted to leave after 5 minutes. That stuff matters. Don't tell me what doesn't matter to the children who are literally telling me it matters to them.
