He is basketball’s coach prime. ESPN sure loves hyping these coaches up for a fall. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

currently down 56-47 at home against 10-5 (#67 in lenpom) butler. 7:12 left on CBSSN.

[shadow_operative 15932]

damn, kam jones just went down with a knee injury, had to be helped off with no weight on his leg. that sucks.

I'm at Butler for grad school, need the bulldogs to hold on

[Rickylovesweed 14538]

Marquette is 3/25 from 3. 

This is such a Shaka team.

correction: sean jones is the one who injured his knee, not kam.

[shadow_operative 15932]

marquette just bombing pull-up threes on every possession. now 3/27 from deep.

[shadow_operative 15932]

if butler would stop taking shots with 15 seconds left on the shot clock this one would be over by now. joplin hits a three and now it’s a 7 point game with 53 seconds left.

[shadow_operative 15932]

 butler inbounds with 53 seconds left, immediately travels. they’re trying to blow this.

[BeautifullyFurnishedCasita 71]

We did it boys

[Rickylovesweed 14538]

After tonight, Marquette will likely be outside the top 200 in 3P% according to T-Rank. 

They're probably a lock to make the 2nd weekend if they just cut down the 3 point attempts by about 30% but that seems unlikely with Shaka. It's kind of incredible.

This is ridiculous, even for Shaka's standards.

[Js1 85524]

Always getting the full Shaka and Barnes experiences in January. Clockwork 

[shadow_operative 15932]

shaka in a nutshell:

 

94th in FT%, 273rd in FTA

270th in 3P%, 44th in 3PA

and then of course his team is ranked in the 270’s or worse in everything else. just like when he was at Texas. gonna be reeeeal fun for the golden eagles next year after they’ve lost kolek, kam jones, oso ighodaro, and possibly david joplin.

[Rickylovesweed 14538]

Marquette is in trouble. 

Sean Jones is out for the year and Chase Ross is out for at least a couple more weeks. They're down to 5 guys that really play big minutes.

he’s always relied on his favorite 6-7 guys way too much. year one at texas he didn’t even want to play holland, yancy, or ibeh. then cam ridley goes down amd shaka is forced to play ibeh more, and whaddaya know? prince is named Big XII DPOY and comes up huge for us as rim protector *and* a perimeter defender. and i don’t even need to remind y’all about his substitution decisions vs Duke.

Shaka has his guys, and then a bunch of dudes on his roster who he doesn’t really care about so he never gives them a chance. jordan barnett, james banks, royce hamm, and donovan williams all transferred out (before the portal) and became useful-good players at good programs after being deemed useless by shaka. the guy has never known how to create or utilize depth.

[kingkoopa6 8377]

16% from 3 will do it to ya. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

shaka gets villanova at home on monday. my gut says that kolek and co. bust out of their slump, marquette wins in impressive fashion, and their poor, poor fans are right back to believing that the previous losses were just aberrations, and that great tourney success lies ahead. it would be very on brand for shaka for this to happen.

kolek with 21 pts, 11 ast, 5 reb on 50% shooting, as marquette wins 87-74. right on time for them to lose this saturday against st.john’s.

[shadow_operative 15932]

with 6:20 remaining- Marquette 71, St.Johns 58

final score:

you read the play by play and it’s all missed FTs and TO’s by shaka’s boys. gotta hand it to his team, they couldn’t quite snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but they tried their hardest. that’s what matters.

It's Shaka, so prospects of that weren't good, anyway.

I keed, I keed.

[shadow_operative 15932]

god damn he is such a clown. i really hope that tyler kolek is healthy for the postseason, because a)he’s fun to watch and injuries suck, and b)i want marquette to be fully healthy when they lose to a 15 seed after shooting 6-27 from deep.

[CurlyDumps 4478]

Marquette fan getting a glimpse of what it's like when Shaka doesn't have an all-American caliber PG to spackle over his shitty coaching.

Yeah, but if he isn't running out on to the court gesticulating and impeding the movement of the other team's players, how are we supposed to know how PASSIONATE and ALL-IN he is?

There are a number of coaches in the Big 12 that do this shit and it drives me fucking insane that no ref seems interested in calling them out.

Will be interesting to see bracket tomorrow.  Won't be surprised to see another Shaka team underperform and struggle to make Sweet 16.  

[shadow_operative 15932]

the stars have aligned for shaka. beat a 15 seed today, then beat the winner of florida/colorado to get to the S16, where they will meet either oakland or nc state. he’s going to need to beat one good team to make it to the final four. if he can’t make a run this year then marquette is truly screwed.

[shadow_operative 15932]

WKU ends the half on a 24-8 run and is up by 7.

Marquette with 19 3-point attempts in the first half... made five, 26.3%

5/12 from the line.

Outrebounded 26-17.

We've seen this before...

Shakablah LIVES!

[HookEm 2467]

I have zero doubt we would have lost last night with Shaka coaching.

God this will be hilarious if Marquette actually loses.

uhhh, no. marquette has been rolling since half.

Yeah, the gametracker was showing the first half score but 16:xx in the second half.

Are you using the new Apple Sports app?

This happened to me yesterday and I thought tech nc state was scoreless at the 16 minute timeout.
