MU/Weasels Game Thread

[willie warrior]

This absolute disgraceful season continues. Poorly coached undisciplined helter skelter offense that can't shoot and apparently can't defend as well. Best to hibernate from this debacle of a season.

RGV Baby, RGV

[Daniel]

29 points from our freshen today is a highlight.

[Stretchdeltsig]

No defense. No rebounding. No shooting. Shaka needs to coach. And he needs to get this team to practice shooting and rebounding.

[onepost]

He's allowed one pass. If it's anywhere close to this bad 365 days from now, opinion changed.

Huh? One pass? His arrogance and hubris has been going on for 3 years now. He just doesn't have the GUARDIANS guarding his awful philosophy any longer.

[NCMUFan]

Impressed with Scooper fan fortitude to the end.
I gave up after 1st half and went outside to pick pecans.

[willie warrior]

Keep Stevens, Phillips, and James and the redshirts. Everyone else on this team can go

What about the Coach?

[HutchwasClutch]

How did Sean Jones finish with 8 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds?

I don't remember any of that.

Actually when he just lets it go and isn't tight, he can knock down some 3's. He cannot however finish at all around the hoop.  His best chance is finding a cutter or someone spotting up.  He's a backup level player at best.

Them being better than expected has made some of these games slightly less embarrassing.

[willie warrior]

They'll score enough meaningless points to close the game here that Shaka will claim this game was a lot closer than it was. Great.

Moral Victory? RGV baby.

[wisblue]

Ya.  They also couldn't score against TCU.  They're getting wide open threes because of our abysmal defense.  We help for no reason and constantly.

Explosive doesn't mean they score 100 points every game. It means they are capable of scoring a lot of points in a hurry.

I made that statement in the context of them only being a 10-12 point favorite in this game.Getting and making a lot of open 3 point shots was completely predictable.

Any posts from you on shaka's "arrogance and hubris" when we were a 2 seed?

[willie warrior]

We need new shooting and rebounding coaches.

This team has many issues. Many more than everbody's whipping boy, Hamilton

[onepost]

You can definitely find posts of mine frustrated he didn't do anything after O-Max left. Our bench went from solid in 2022-2023 to a trainwreck in 2023-2024. The results were good (Sweet Sixteen), still underachieved, despite a poor process.

Last season I again shared my frustration we didn't do anything. We're gonna finish the year 2025 with ONE (1) top 100 win. That's comical.

[willie warrior]

What a stupid basketball team. This is ridiculous, our coach needs to start feeling the heat if he hasn't already

Time to give him a 5 year extension? ten years to judge.

[PointWarrior]

Enjoy the thrilling OT victory over Valpo  - that may be the last win for this team in this season.

[warriors141]

Ross was extremely disappointing today, posing when your team is getting torched, mishandled free throw, dumb technical, no defense.


Can't think I've ever cared less about the result of a badgers game.

[Newsdreams]

Lost the second half by less than the first. That's an R and G baby. Two outta 3 ain't bad

Per my MU education that is 75%

[JakeBarnes]

I dislike that I felt there were a ton of positives to build on and they still got destroyed.

Growth is happening. But this sure isnt fun at the moment.

Takeaways:

Positive
- Royce is making strides. Liked the game from him.
- Adrien is a stud. Easy to project as a future 3 and D stud.
- NJ looked good. Ive been critical of him getting lost in traffic. He stepped the F up. Next step: Show me 3s to open the lane
- Josh got to a lot of balls in his few mins, altered some shots, and--while raw--looked like he was fighting out there. Nowhere near a finished product, but his length and motor were impressive as hell.



Neutral
-SJ is pressing. But he got better-ish as it went along.
- Tre. Acted as a calm presence. A few good passes.
-Ben--wish you hit those 3s earlier.
- Zaide was more "on" today than off. Bummer on the 3 he missed on the transition.

Negative
- Chase--you are supposed to be a leader. Lead. You can't have lapses and let your emotions screw momentum.
- Time to end the Caeden experiment as a starter. Super timid out there and behind on rotations for D. For all we heard about hook shots, we watched zero happen today.

[willie warrior]

Ross is 4 for 13 so far, he has been flexing his muscles at Wisky players after drives, now this stupid T.  Wisky guys just need to point at the scoreboard. 

Wisky may have 40 free throw attempts if it keeps going like this.

What about when he lost the ball while getting ready for a free throw? Havent seen a move like that since Ollie dribbled the ball off his feet.

Which team is that ?

[Mu8891]

Point - Your comment sounds crazy,,. But it is actually possible.

This is the worst team in 25 years!  Easy. How do they get to 10 wins ?

I say they don't.  Disgusting

[HutchwasClutch]

Enjoy the thrilling OT victory over Valpo  - that may be the last win for this team in this season.

Or for a while anyway. 

[MUEng92]

I intentionally avoided any watching or following of this game entirely.  I told people at work I couldn't see them losing by less than 20 so my head would explode if I watched it.  I'm perfectly content as I'm headed to the store.  I highly recommend this approach.

Xavier in the Big East Quarterfinal

Like Ellis said on the broadcast, literally have NEVER seen that happen.  At any level.
