I love Shaka but this team sucks and that's on him

Yeah we're about to see what the floor is for a Shaka team.

Outcoached, outhustled, outplayed, wtf.
We can beat the crummy teams but can't hang with the big boys
Long, long season to work on development.
What a debacle.

I'm willing to accept a shitty year after recent success but my concern is a quick turnaround

[rgoode57]

They cannot keep giving up this many points and expect to win a lot of games. Where the hell is the defense?

Exactly right.  We don't have many competent defenders after our initial pressure.  Especially among our bigs.

I think we are going to have our hands full in the Big East.    The team never quits, which is great to see.   But apparently we don't have the horsepower  . . . Chase Lowery and Ben stepped up but we need a couple more . . .

Throw this game in the trash. Worst finishing I've seen in a long time

there will be more of this, unfortunately.

Never quits as evidenced by?

Gold going for a layup often ends in an embarrassing miss.

...even nba talent can miss a few, come on

Lol

Marquette just wrapped up one of the most successful 3 year stretches in program history

...what was successful about last season...making the tournament?...but I get the point you're making. Problem is, we've seen what this team is. Maybe some improvement as the year goes along, but unlikely ncaa tourney caliber. End of last season and so far in this early season, it feels like a significant backslide.

Felt Marquette was getting fouled on their shots with no calls. Game seemed to change when the Maryland player got injured unfortunately and referee Paul missed some crucial calls. Got to bounce back Marquette.

The refs were fine. Good lord. We missed multiple wide open lay-ups and were awful at our defensive rotations.

This would be a loss that probably can't be overcome in terms of at large chances if Pharrell Payne misses time like it appears he may. Maryland will not be good at all.

More important than this being a potential bad loss is just how we are playing. The defense is sad. No urgency to win.

I don't disagree. Extremely disappointing and disheartening performance.

They stepp

They stepped up in moments for sure, but weren't consistent and struggled down the stretch.  ZL isn't used to taking 19 shots.  He has to flip his mindset and be a scorer and make plays for others.
