Comparing Zaide to Blackledge is wild!

The point is that while Zaide had an amazing dunk yesterday, in no way, shape, or form did he have a good game. Don't confuse a good moment with a good game.

(Or take the wrong message my post, guess that's an option too)

I never mentioned his dunk.

Shaka could have a lackluster season this year, and next - and he won't be on the hot seat.  You know why?  Because Mike Broeker isn't a dipshit.

There is a laundry list of reason MU should not get rid of Shaka, but that ain't one.


Sorry to tell you, but Broeker is not the most powerful person in MU's HC decision.

LOL - You're not kidding.  Brew has gone off the rails.  It all started at the Open Scrimmage when they didn't serve hot dogs.

I like the fact that he had 8 rebounds, 4 assists (which I'd guess is a career high), and he shut off Coit after he started the game off red hot. He had a hand in a lot of MUs good yesterday. I too would like to see him shoot a higher percentage.

Still getting a zero on reading comprehension, I see.

He didn't compare them. He pointed out that Zaide having a couple of highlight moments yesterday - as Trend was known to have - doesn't mean he was great.

I don't get how that relates. I never mentioned anything about highlight plays. I said I thought he looked good live. He finished with 14, 8, and 4.

8 rebounds and 4 assists were both career highs and he shut off Coit with his length after Coit started 4-4 and got the Terps out to a sizable lead. I thought he looked good and encouraging. I too would like to see him shoot a higher percentage.

I agree with all the above. He's a good shooter. Yesterday wasn't his best in that regard, but as you pointed out he took Coit out of the game after shifting onto him.

Believe it was a career high in minutes for Zaide too. Think 25ish was his previous career high.

I'm banking on Zaide really taking a big jump this year as part of my optimism. Yesterday was a good start, as it is the most aggressive he's looked offensively and we need more of that from him.

14/8/4 with 2 steals, a block, and 3 turnovers.  He didn't shoot well but sure seems like people are focusing on a bad day from the field way too much for a guy that is usually pretty efficient. 

The team needs Zaide to be aggressive offensively to be successful so I was glad to see the aggressiveness.

Now, if he continues to shoot in the low 30s from the field that's a different conversation.

I don't see the portal talk as constructive. MU can't compete financially in the portal at the level needed to keep fans happy. Unless some billionaire takes this on as a project, MU is small potatoes as far as resources. Just count MU's alums relative to state schools. I have no problem with Shaka's approach.  It's the only way MU might not be relegated to sloppy seconds. The key is identifying talent and hitting on a high percentage.

MU can't afford one player? Maybe two? We're in more trouble than I could have imagined.

Seriously, many of the Portal numbers are highly inflated. And we wouldn't be going after a high 6 figure or even 7 figure star player. I'm talking about a role player to fill a hole

Gonna disagree a bit here. Yes I wish he shot and finished better. But he tied for the team lead in rebounds and assists. Most importantly he was the primary defender on Coit after his quick 12 points and made him mostly a non factor the rest of the game.

Zaide is the least of our problems and was our clear 2nd best player yesterday.

Last two losses were ugly losses - should count for double...

Wow, I didn't notice that -- although it's since February.

MU games vs. teams under t-rank < 100:

Feb 1 - UConn -  loss
Feb 4 - StJ -  loss
Feb 8 - Creighton -  loss
Feb 21 - Nova -  loss
Mar 1 - Gtown -  WIN
Mar 5 - UConn -  loss
Mar 8 - StJ - loss
BET 1 - Xavier - WIN
BET 2 - StJ - Loss
NCAA - New Mexico - loss
Nov 9 - Indiana - loss
Nov 15 - Maryland - loss

2-10 record.  And one of those wins was Gtown, #96.

And 10 of those games were with an NBA player Kam, Stevie and Jop.

Wow! I noticed that because you showed the list three times. Maybe they should count for triple.
