Can't make layups.  Ouch.  Can't make 3s.  Scoring is key problem.  More that D.  Man.

Turnovers are also an enormous problem. 

[CountryRoads]

Sean needs to go. Can't shoot, turns it over, poor on D, terrible size. Maybe it's mostly the knee injury. Doesn't matter. Need an upgrade there next year.

[PointWarrior]

If there is such a thing as "layup drills" this team severely needs them.

Wojo had an excuse...rebuild from Buzz' final season. Shaka brought this on himself

Agree self inflicted roster construction

Yes. The scary thing is that this is Shaka's first all-Shaka team.  These players can shoot better than they have this year.    Or the scouting is dismal.  But through 10.5 games, they cannot hit shots in games.  Pathetic numbers.  How do you fix?  That's why the coaches get paid .

ZERO FREE throws  FIRST HALF, SHOT 31%  3 of 14  from three - so why do we think we are a three point shooting team?  The announcers just said we are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the country.   

[Duane6]

Been a huge fan of Shaka during his tenure, but if he runs this team back w no transfers next year, he should be fired

[MuggsyB]

Ross 1-5, 2pts.  Not good enough obviously.

At least the #mubb poster didn't give us another "in the fight".  They've seen to have given up on this game too

[GoldenEagles03]

I'm cool w Stevens and James. Everybody else can leave

Can't have it that way in all likelihood.

This is just so disgusting. Not at all "fine". Next year is set up to be worse with no changes. Just tear it down now.

[Zog from Margo]

Hard to imagine worse players than Sean and Hamilton

Too many recruiting misses and bad fits for a team that insists on jacking 3s. This roster and Smith's offense is a match made in hell.

I'm cool w nobody. They all can leave.

[MuggsyB]

This team cannot go into next season without a major overhaul.  It's non-negotiable.

[Duane6]

I'm cool w nobody. They all can leave.

Haha fair enough

[MarquetteFan94]

Nice of Ross to show up again. 7 pts in his last 44 minutes on the floor. This team is nothing. Who will they beat in conference? 20+ loss season with no relief in sight. If Shaka doesn't hit the portal he needs to go. Pathetic.

[nyg]

Believed it would be a closer first half, then the blowout, did not happen. Believed the staff would have them prepared.

Thought Shaka would cut down on the substitutions.  He did not, no consistency with guys playing with each other. Some guys play 3 minutes, then out, then back in with different groups. Not just this game.  Oh well.

The offense is back to his usual three ball, with no one who can hit.  3 for 14, on pace for another 30 three attempt game.

Want to see if Owens gets any minutes, if not he is on the serious doo-doo watch. 

[Duane6]

Can't imagine how bad Owens and Clark are in practice if they can't get PT on this team

[MarquetteFan94]

They had one week to prepare for Purdue. This is what we get? We were obviously going to lose but this is a joke.

[drbob]

Shaka should return 2.9 of his 3 mil salary for putting this product on the floor !!  Sean does absolutely nothing except running up and down the floor!  No inside post game!  Awful Awful team !

[Johnny B]

What'd u expect? Going pretty much how it's predicted to

[CountryRoads]

Sean, Norman, and Lowery are the RGV seniors for next year. Yikes. 

[Warrior of Law]

I'd trade Ross today for a decent recruit next year. He doesn't make this team better.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Heard Seton Hall has the lowest NIL budget in the conference how are they getting talent.
Marquette is so bad at shooting and everything are we taking one for the the conference this year lol

[MarquetteFan94]

More. I expected more.

Incredibly bad.

The thing is, unless you're recruiting nothing but top 50 kids, every coach is going to have misses. Thanks to the portal, coaches can now go out and remedy those misses. Our coach refuses to do this.
