Fun quotient

How about O’Neill’s Sweet 16 team in 94?  Eford, Robb, Mac, Key, McCaskill…that was the team that really helped return MU to relevance after the Dukiet era.

I still have the t shirt.

O’Neill’s teams were never fun to watch. It was like watching trench warefare.

Jae and DJO's senior year was so much fun. That team was damn good.

Those three years were great and we were on the cusp of being something on the national stage. I loved the DWade FF run, but really enjoyed those three seasons. Hopefully Shaka is building something that has more legs.

Yes hoping so too!  I think Shaka is!   We have an identity again that analysts talk about.  Super!

Maybe a hot take, but Rowsey shot better then Howard and ran the point 1000 times better in my opinion.

Howard just volume shot and people love numbers

Markus 42.7% from 3 on 7.9 attempts per game

Rowsey 40.8% from 3 on 7.6 attempts per game

Hot takes are wild card opinions.

Not blantant objective incompetence

2013. 

We won the Big East.  The old Big East.  I cried like a baby after that St. John’s game.  It was like we scaled the basketball mountaintop.  We were Alabama.  We won the SEC of hoops.

Our loss to Cinci in OT was great
The win at home vs Cuse was amazing
Gutting it out to 14-4

Top of the World

I was in Hong Kong when we won the BE and I had a great celebration. Let’s do it again and again and again.

Yup was my freshman year. You just expected that team to win every game they played in.

That team seemed to relish being down by 20 in the first half, only to come back and kick a$$.

We can win it this year. Everything is on the table.

Let's get through this stretch and enter the back half in good form. The back half schedule is seemingly easier.

Winning the Big East in 2013 was awesome, but that team was not fun the way this team is fun. Slow pace, turnover prone, and terrible shooters. Lots of throw it off the backboard and let Gardner and Otule go get it. The highs of winning the Big East and the Elite Eight were awesome, but it wasn't a pretty process getting there.

snacking?

The Butler and Miami games in the tournament were pretty. 

[brewcity77]

The results were great, but it was a bully ball team that wasn't particularly skilled. The 2012 team, with all the strength of 2013 and the skill of Jae & DJO, was a much more aesthetically pleasing team.

Was that the year we lost our final game at Seton Hall to finish the regular season?

Nope. Home win over Georgetown.

Last year the team was fun to watch and we saw glimpses of the future. This year is a notch up on entertaining style of play and I think they are only scratching the surface. I am completely convinced that a year or two from now the program will be stacked with another level of talent.

Our youngest was born 12/27/12.  The 1/19/13 saturday night game vs. Cinci was our first real night out sans kids. My wife and I bellied up at the old Catch 22.  Amazing comeback, lost in OT and showed that this team would never stop fighting.  One of my favorite nights, and it all started with GTST.

I love this team and it’s lots of fun. They’ve been in EVERY game they have played. They lack a true center and a “go to” scorer in the pinch. But they try and compensate for their team weaknesses like no team I’ve seen.

Most fun MU team I ever saw was 1975-1976. We basically destroyed almost anything that got in our way. Probably would have had a Natty has Indiana not been so good that year.

We knew when the season started we had something special. Sad thing was Earl Tatum and Lloyd Walton never had a Natty!

Some of my favorite memories of the Al era was their defense forcing a five second or ten second violation and I am loving watching these guys beginning to create those stops. Plus, I love that Shaka does not seem to think this is finished product on the D side of the court.

Right on!

I remember a game against the University of Tennessee where it was 12-0 before the Vols got the ball across the mid-court line.

THAT is Marquette basketball! It’s coming back!
