February 5Feb 5 Shaka is the king of weird games. Remember when we had 23 TOs, allowed ACU to shoot 27 more shots than us, blocked 9 shots, +12 from BTA and lost by 1?
February 5Feb 5 our three starting senior guards combined for 18 turnovers that night and shaka did nothing. zero adjustments, zero benchings, just kept watching them throw the ball away every other time down the court. greg brown, our second leading rebounder and taller than ACU’s starting center, played six minutes, went 1-1 (a three) and then was benched by shaka for personal reasons and never returned to the game. jericho sims went 3-3 in the opening 90 seconds, played 30 more minutes and never took another shot against the ACU team that had less size than most dallas area 6A high schools. shaka just sat and watched as sims, who may as well have been shaq vs those ACU players, was ignored the entire rest of the night while our guards shot 10-29 from the field. shaka smart is an abject moron whose entire career is built on talking a great game to the right people. to be a supporter of one of his teams is to be driven mad. rodney terry’s offense has objectively sucked at times this year, and that is frustrating. but there is nothing that RT’s teams do that comes close to reaching the levels of drive-you-mad ineptitude which inevitably define every important shaka smart loss, and even many of his team’s wins.
February 5Feb 5 btw how is that roster 19-8??? that’s a damn talented, not to mention deep college roster. especially for a coach who knows how to play an aggressive, uptempo, pressing style. it’s unbelievable. same team. ^^^ Edited February 5Feb 5 by Derka
February 5Feb 5 looking at that box score, how many teams in the entire country had four athletes even close to the level of •jericho sims •jaxson hayes •greg brown •royce hamm i don’t even need to remind y’all of the first three, but people forget about royce hamm: this idiot shaka makes his name off of employing a high pressure, uptempo style that’s built for athletes who aren’t the greatest shooters, he assembles what’s essentially the dream team of athletes who don’t shoot well, and he’s like, “yeah let’s run an nba style offense and have all these jokers stand around shooting threes.” Edited February 5Feb 5 by Derka
February 8Feb 8 creighton about to seal up the win vs shaka and his boys. hopefully they do in fact make it out of there alive. Edited February 8Feb 8 by Derka
February 8Feb 8 I lol'ed when i flipped to the game and the first stat i saw was 3P shooting. With just under 13 minutes left - Creighton 7/18, Marquette 9/27.

February 22Feb 22 So it appears that Marquette has lost 4 straight basketball games? Can that be correct?

February 26Feb 26 37.4% of marquette's points come from threes. marquette shoots less than 33% from deep and is 226th nationally in 3p%. marquette is 259th in terms of scoring from 2-pt fg and 333rd in the country in points from the ft line. and yet every few days i find myself on twitter arguing with their fans who are still full on 100% stan mode for this idiot, every single one of them saying, “he only failed at Texas because you guys made him recruit five stars and your program sucks!” okie silly dilly dokie o. have fun in the tourney!

March 8Mar 8 marquette hasn’t beaten a good team since january 3rd. to this point the marquette fans are still all-in, just slizzard off the shaka smart kool-aid, swearing up and son that he’s an elite coach and that UT was to blame for his failures here. wonder how much longer so go before the fog clears and they start to catch on.
March 15Mar 15 Don't miss that fuck and never will. They got out to an early lead - got severely outplayed - then cut it to 5 late then got blown the fuck out.

March 16Mar 16 A good friend’s son went to Marquette and he thought they were getting a great coach. He was so fired up. Bawawaaaaaa.

March 19Mar 19 these three go from elite 8 hopefuls to title contenders if they hit their threes. but alas…
March 19Mar 19 I was listening to yesterday's CBS Eye on College Basketball podcast, and they talked about Shaka. It was a positive conversation, but they brought up a stat I guess I'd forgotten about - VCU's 3 pt shooting during their FF run. They made something like 54 threes in the tournament which was a record at the time. During the regular season, they had one game with 10+ made threes. In the tournament, they had FOUR. In the game against Kansas, they shot 48%. Kansas shot 9%. Really puts into perspective what a massive fucking fluke that was.

March 22Mar 22 marquette is hilariously hapless. they have no idea what to do. just brings a smile to my face.
March 22Mar 22 I’m at the point that I am somewhat gruntled that UT exited early with RT rather than Shaka.
March 22Mar 22 Shaka just shaka'd. He as regular to me as the morning locomotive that are yesterday's black bean burritos.
