What is the main reason we are so awful this year?

Horrible talent evaluation by Shaka.  He actually believed they had the pieces but was dead wrong on evaluation.
34 (85%)
Shaka is so fed up with state of CBB that he would rather lose with his guys vs play the transfer portal/NIL game.
1 (2.5%)
Bad coaching and development.  Shaka has enough talent to compete.  But hasn't put them in positions to win.
5 (12.5%)

What does the board think it the main reason we are so bad this year?  Will Shaka learn from this season and make changes or no?

You registered in 2010 and I am SO glad that you have now provided us with this wonderful opportunity to discuss a subject that no one on scoop has even considered. After many years of inactivity, your stored knowledge is certain to overwhelm us.

Rather than checking one of the boxes you so kindly provided, I am going to say that the main reason for the failed season is that we have lost too many games.

I think it's a little too early to count out 2026. 

2025 was pretty much a disaster though.

Marquette made fewer baskets than other teams.

Some teams only made a couple more.

Other teams made a lot more.

If MU starts making more baskets they will win more games.
When we stop talking, really bad stuff happens.

Lack of shooters who can not only shoot but score.   Poor overall defense.

Sub par posters.  Need to broom some out and try to get better through the fan portal.   I know some schools have already contacted my agent.

Spencer Pratt is probably much healthier than us for avoiding Scoop for 16 years.

I voted for poor talent evaluation but is also a combination of ignoring the portal. Save his first season when he absolutely needed bodies to field a team, he has completely ignored any sort of transfer, save the NAIA kid who never played because of injuries.

Thinking he could go into the last two seasons and compete with bigs like Gold, Hamilton, Clark, Amadou etc. is a MASSIVE red flag moving forward.

The main reason the year failed was too many polls.

With Scoop being the Guardians of MU BB Success he saw a massive failure.
We drove him out of 16 years of Scoop retirement.
