So when Jalen Terry was throwing games he was still better than Tre Norman, Sean Jones, Damarius owens, and Caedin Hamilton.

Marquette was 6-0 against DePaul when Jalen Terry was there. Most games weren't close.

This may be a way to salvage what is left of this memorable season. Rather than letting Las Vegas pay teams to throw a game, how about if Marquette pays some of our opponents to lose? It would be wise to keep it to teams that are better than us, but not by much. I mean....if we beat St. Johns and UCONN, we are almost begging for an investigation. Sweep DePaul, Butler, and win the rematches with GT and X and we would have 7 Ws in BE play.

Those are just teams impacted, not teams that did the deed.  Depaul's point shaving impacted the other Big East schools... at least it was the bottom feeders.

Yes, we are all aware MU is a bad defensive team.

Indiana Iowa both could not make anything but now each have made their last 7 shots. From cold to hot.

I'm not sure Hubert Davis is back at UNC.

Here's a guy who sounds defeated (from The Athletic):

Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley on Wednesday night sounded like a coach who knows his time in the desert is coming to an end.

After a promising start to the season, the Sun Devils lost for the seventh time in eight games, falling to West Virginia 75-63 at Desert Financial Arena. Arizona State is 10-9 and 1-5 in the Big 12.

"We failed. I'm failing. I can't get through to the team,'' Hurley told reporters after listing some of Arizona State's mistakes against West Virginia. "I don't know what else I can say."

In the final year of his contract, Hurley's future at Arizona State has been in question for a while. In his 11th season, his 178 wins rank second in school history, but the Sun Devils have recently stalled. ... The Sun Devils have struggled particularly at home. Wednesday's loss dropped them to 5-4 at Desert Financial Arena, a facility that is years past its prime.

"We have not played well here — in years," Hurley said. "Like since before COVID. We had this place cooking before COVID. Now it's a sterile environment. We don't win here. We don't give our fans any reason to show up with enthusiasm to think that we're going to win a basketball game. We have been dreadful at home for years. ... Bottom line."

Maybe his kid brother will hire him as an assistant.

The only think missing from that story is that the judge is married to his 1st cousin, which I would bet is the case down in 'Bama.

The only think missing from that story is that the judge is married to his 1st cousin, which I would bet is the case down in 'Bama.

As the old joke goes, "good 'ole boys" look forward to family reunions as a chance to pick up women.

First cousin marriages were common in past centuries due not only to living in isolated villages but also for the wealthy and powerful to preserve family wealth from outsiders. The county I live in had a prominent family-the Cabells- who had quite a number of plantations and were friends of Thomas Jefferson. The Cabell marriages sometimes included first cousins and there was one uncle/niece union.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were first cousins, as were Charles Darwin and his wife. Today, first cousin unions are regarded as incestual by most people but are still legal in some places. Surprisingly, birth defects in their children are only slightly above average (or so I've read), but I believe that changes in future generations if the practice continues.

Today, Pakistani families have been known to marry their first cousins, and sometimes their children continue the practice. This is where I read about birth defects as a result of the practice being multi-generational.
