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.

shaka in a nutshell:

IMG_6216.thumb.jpeg.e1a6d5ed6f9a0314f9e1215d4d0800e2.jpeg

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
