MU/DePaul Game Thread

No just dont think they want to leave. guessing dont want a big pay cut. Especially bcause people on here say pay scales with seniority at this program. The absurdity of of a horizon league player like Tre, who probably couldnt find a professional gig anywhere in the world, making 500k next year is hilarious.

You have absolutely no respect for Shaka. Interesting.

Maybe your right and Shaka has abandoned high level competition.  Everyone is guessing right now. We'll find out the truth in 90 days.

This is too funny.....

Shaka's after game press conference...
Shaka Credit DePaul for their aggressiveness in the second half. We made a run for them but did not rebound and get to loose balls. The way we played in the first half with aggressiveness. Second half we were not defense focused as much. We had 20 assists for the game. We got a lot of good looks in the second half that we did not hit. Our guys did a good job initally. They made adjustments. OIffense was not the problem. Rebounds and loose balls were the key to the game. Our defense waned in the second half before the offense did. Gunn put up the gaudy number but Blocker kept getting downhilll. NJ Benson went 8-9. A lot of offensive boards. We did not rebound as well as we should. NJ. Maybe he was rushing it or were not in the place we should be. He's a freshman He makes freshman mistakes. He is going to do great things as well. On the road you have to hang your hat on defense and we need to do a better job. Gunn was in a rhythm from the beginning of the game. You have to make him drive. This was the best environment for DePaul since I have been there. Students were good. Thanks for Marquette fans that came down. Good atmosphere. we have to get more aggressive and need to get tougher. We need to get more 50-50 balls. I did not think we did a good job against a zone. They did the same thing last year and we won in OT. They doi a good job. Ben looked better. Hasn't been able to practice or play at SJU. Asided from the injury, he will be better next game. Good for him to see some threes going in.

Read my original prediction post....The first half....The Blah Blah Blah....The more BS....Gold was our "stroke" player....

Line for line.....

I did miss the give DePaul credit crap.....

If it wasn't so pathetic.....It is absolutely hysterical......

This isn't assuaging my depression, anger, and anxiety.

"Give them credit." Translation: the other team has better players and naturally they beat us like a drum.

You don't think red shirt players aren't evaluating whether to stay or look elsewhere 
If next year begins to look more like the same I know I would be looking around for a more successful program if I were on that bench. Pride might be mean something more than a paycheck if you are a competitive person.

How good are the 3 redshirts anyway?

Apparently not good enough to see the floor on the BE's worst team.

marquette should be attractive to ballers ...there's playing time for the taking.

..."they play better at practice".

40-odd yrs later, DePaul doing their Phi Slamma Jamma impersonation was impressive.

[Viper]

At least he did not $hit himself on the court.  That would complete his Marquette experience.....And hopefully conclude it.....

4 portal spots....

Tre...Sean....Hamlton....Lowery....

At least Lowery jumped from the Titanic.....

I sure hope you are correct, but unless Shaka pushes guys overboard, would those guys leave on their own? My pessimism says the only open spot is Lowery's, and Shaka probably assesses a guy from UW-Parkside is good enough for that roster spot.

Maybe already posted, but any reason why Clark and Phillips got a DNP? Park Clark under the rim and maybe a few Clyde Drexler-esque dunks are prevented.

Shaka will eventually get it.  Almost every team that has beaten MU has had portal players including Depaul, who have five of their top six players being portal players.

I think every team but Marquette has at least one portal player. Until maybe we get down to the real real low d1.

I too thought the game was going to played today, so I missed it. I wonder if those on Scoop were the only ones watching the game.
