Going Positive

[MU82]

You have been very snarky about Freeman, and maybe he hasn't had the impact YOU think he should have, but BPR still has him higher than any Marquette player this year.

If Freeman ranks higher than Nigel James in any ratings system, I guess I have to question the system. Except for "Most NIL Dollars Wasted System," of course.

I'll be positive in saying, "I'm positive that 99% of the coaches in America would take James over Freeman."

Interesting that Evan rates Chase Ross ahead of Nigel James.  Not the impression you'd get reading the comments on the board.

Stems from the end of many games this year.  Not a creator.  If he doesn't try to do too much he is pretty damn good.  If he tries to initiate offense with the game on the line it gets ugly in a hurry.

Spoke to Ben and some of the Players at the Marquette Women's Basketball game  tonight. Tried to encourage them by saying fight hard Saturday and I believe you will win. You will win either way. But you will win. They are really nice but not sure how confident they looked.

[Shooter McGavin]

Ben not being confident is in his DNA.  Hopefully a couple threes go down early for him.  The rest of the team should be confident.  Butler is not that good.  MUs freshman and sophomores are more than capable especially at home. MU should win.

Fair.  Shaka has been trying to get Ben to believe in himself as much as the coaching staff does for 4 years.

Ugh

Yeah, I'm not taking MarquetteMike's psychological analysis of our player's mindsets as the Bible, no offense.

They will not win if they don't score more points.

Easy does it, big guy. I cannot handle your brilliance this early in the day. Next time, wait until afternoon, OK?

True Al would say if winning was not important we would not keep score.

Agree was not that brilliant of a thing to say. Was just trying to say anything encouraging in passing by.

What can I say? I'm a metrics-based guy.

I get that. But as a woodworker, I'm still an English system guy. Sixteenths of an inch do not bother me.
