We're lost out there

[MuggsyB]

I am beyond lost about Zaide Lowery.  We have literally no chance if he plays like he did yesterday and misses consistently at the rim.  He does not appear to know how to draw contact or focus on the shot itself.  It's a total mystery to me, but we need him to figure it out.  We have seen a few flashes but mostly it has been an unmitigated, catastrophic, disaster.  It seems both mental and physical.  Plus the effort has been spotty.  Anyway, we can't compete if he doesn't show up at all.

Literally lost in the fight

Other than NJ, it looked like just about everyone lost the will to fight.

Some AD's, Barry Alvarez comes to mind, built off Richter and had RED basketball at it's highest level, ever. Hopefully our AD will at least suggest an adjustment in roster construction philosophy be considered. MarquetteMike might have had a whispered conversation with Broeker and can add some insight here.

Neither Pat Richter nor Barry Alvarez told Stu Jackson, Dick Bennett or Bo Ryan how to build a team. Their job was to provide the resources and judge the results. That is exactly what Broeker should do as well.

Buzz wasn't leaned on?

By an incompetant athletic director who was soon fired.

Has any coach in recent memory torpedoed their goodwill this quickly? Two years ago we were a top 5 team, playing to be #1. A year ago we were a top 5 team beating Wisco with throwback yellow unis. Now we're scratching and clawing to beat a bad Valpo team at home and set up for an even worse 2026-2027. The literal worst win a Marquette team has had in almost 20 years.

But it's ok, because he can just shout "RELATIONSHIPS. GROWTH. VICTORY." bullcrap at us like a used car salesman and some on this board will go out and buy the quarter-zips as soon as they can.

James Franklin, might think of another later
