Probably better than us tbh

Boone

So Zaide absence may not be related to recent benching?! lol!

Zog from Margo

Phillips gives up five points in five seconds.

ATL MU Warrior

I think Zaide may be in the right with this decision

The reason behind this is that Zaide had an argument with Shaka about Caedin Hamilton still starting. Shaka in return benched Zaide.
Zaide will be transferring

Thanks for continuing to spread a troll account's Tweets.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 07:27:09 PMIt's total nonsense when we're losing. Everyone loved it for the first 4 years.

Sometimes relationships get strained.

Let's be honest. This is not hard. NONE OF THIS RGV WORKS WITHOUT TALENT.

Then don't bring up the last four years when "everyone liked it".  It's a dumb argument.  RGV is made up bullcrap.  He won because he had talent. Not RGV.

The other fiction is Shaka developed players with marginal talent.  He did not. They were future NBA players whether we knew it at the time or not.

Relationships and development (growth) are undoubtedly important towards winning in college basketball. Not as important as talent, but they're definitely important.

Find me a college basketball team that doesn't have some cheesy, ultimately pointless motto they live by. When the teams are winning the fans eat it up. When they're losing it's "made up bullcrap."

I mean come on. Kolek was a great passing, unathletic white kid who couldn't shoot. Oso split time with a high energy, limited skill Kur. OMax couldn't find the court on Clemson. This is just flat out silliness. He/the staff absolutely developed those players.

This is a wild statement. You basically disqualified everyone who made huge leaps under Shaka because they went onto the NBA. Kinda crazy.

Last season was the first that he didn't have any transfers on the roster and was carried by a Wojo recruit. This year Shaka and the entire university has gone all in with RGV with the branding and merchandise. It's a brand more than anything now.

Agree, crazy that we'll all get fooled. RGV is a MINOR FACTOR WHEN COMPARED TO TALENT.

They had talent.  You are kidding yourself

No kidding they had talent. Shaka and the coaching staff absolutely helped develop them into NBA players. I get it. We're all mad about what this team is. You don't have to rewrite history to take any credit away from this coaching staff.

Look, it's probably going to be a long season.  Everyone has an opinion as to which player should transfer, and speculation as to the Lowery situation.  Maybe next week, it will be a problem with another. Each will get worse as each week goes by.

My worry would be if this disaster continues to play out, with the losses at home, not getting game ending shots off, getting completely smoked/embarrassed and disgruntled players, what happens to the players that should stay. Do they actually want to be a part of this? I know only speculation, but you can just imagine what is going on with the players, most who have never seen anything like this.

Does James go back home to like St. Johns
Does Stevens go back home to Georgetown, Maryland, Virginia
Does Parham go back home to Pitt
What is going on in Pearson's mind, sitting watching this all? Did I make mistake?

Long way to go and maybe MU makes some credible games, but a disaster year usually has disastrous endings.

Oh Lord.  They would have been NBA players on many other teams. With many other coaches.

But they didn't play for other teams with other coaches. The idea that Kolek, Oso, and OMax were NBA players when they arrived at Marquette is so far from reality it's incredible.

Ignorant coach. Pathetic team. Historic season.
