Empty Calories

[Dish]

This season felt like empty calories. Started off great, then nothing the last six weeks.

I'm not sure where this program Is going. I don't mean that in an uber negative way, but I don't know if Shaka sticks with his philosophy around recruiting/transfers, how well is that going to work out in the short term.

MU is never going to be a program that is a top 2 seed every year. That's just the reality.

Thanks to the seniors for a lot of great memories!

Could we at least be a program that plays to its seed once in a while? That would nice.

Easily the worst of the 4 years.

year 1 had no expectations and got super hot and got into the dance to get blasted.

This team had a few program legends. Won big games early and absolutely FLAT LINED in a meh league for months. Then lost to a mid major.

Shaka has to wear a lot of it. Having Kam just sit and watch as Jop dribbles 1 on 1 off a guys foot in a 1 score game is comical.

And we constantly had Kam off the ball.

Perfectly said. Might as well will pretend this season never happened

[PointWarrior]

awesome 5 - 8 record to finish the season!

This sums it up, thanks Dish.

This is a semi-damning:

In his last 9 NCAA appearances, Shaka has been eliminated by a team at least 3 seed lines worse 7 times.

5 of those season ending losses were to seed lines five higher than his team.

Get some help for your Jop Derangement Syndrome, 🤡.

[MU86NC]

Shaka is lost post season...

What in the world did any of that have to do with blaming jop?

If your way of coping with a horrible end is to be a fu cking moron. Admit it. All good.

[Hards Alumni]

The reason the season is painful is we were ranked as high as 5 in the nation.

and we went out with a terrible 2025, and the tournament was another predictable ending.

You could read your post again, dummy. You're absolutely one of the worst on this board. A complete child during game threads.

You're not wrong. That #5 rank felt like it was years ago.

I would say the loss to MSU was a bigger disappointment. That team had a huge upside.

Oh I've read the post too many times dipsh it. Again, I ask where did I blame Jop.

I think I literally said who I blame. Seriously, at least try to be smart. Not asking a lot.'

A complete idiot, in all threads. See, I can play too.

Yes, but that was disappointing from a 1 game stand point. Fantastic season with zero expectations and 2 titles.

Sh it ending. But not like this.

Each of the last two years were more disappointing. This felt inevitable - we've been in a death spiral for months. Doesn't make it suck less, but the world was a different place when we were sitting at 5. Quite literally.

Ncaa tourny is as much about matchups as it is about playing well.

We have not played well for a long time and were really over seeded this year.

Shaka has had lots of success in conference tournaments.

This offense was broken much of the year and we had roster weakness that was not addressed.

"I trust Shaka" (The Scoop thing. Say it isn't so then the old "write him a letter" response)
"Culture"
"Growth,Development,Retain"

Mottos for success.....maybe for seasons, but hasn't shown in NCAAT.  Just hoping his philosophy works out.

The difference is you're incapable of self-reflection. I'm not the one getting constantly called out for his drivel on this board. You are.

Looking forward to your continued idiocy next season.

Wait,

So your deflection to calling me out for insulting Jop....which I didn't do....which I proved I didn't do

Was to tell me to self reflect??

Again, if this is all your odd way of coping. Just say it and save us the trouble. You quoted me and now completely shifted gears you unstable jackass.

Look forward to your next attempt to reply

Well stated.  I am not sure what to say after four (4) years of the Shaka experience?

I should be thrilled with four (4) straight tournament rankings and consistently in the top 25, but it feels like the program left a lot on the table every, single March.

"While jop dribbles the ball of his foot".

Calling me unstable is priceless. Someone should make you read each and every one of your gamethread posts.
