Creighton fans are upset with Shaka...

Creighton fans should be mad that their team had a chance to blow the doors open on the game in the first half and blew it.

Yes, but Marquette has a top-10 defense.  They're currently 9th in KenPom.  The offense has to be better but scoring against Marquette is going to be a problem for teams unless they create a lot of second chances, ala Purdue and UW-Madison.  Last year, an elite offense carried Marquette for a good chunk of the season.  This year, it's going to be the defense

[MU82]

Isn't making fun of them good enough?

Yes. Great point.

[Hards Alumni]

Yes. Great point.

The most important thing to happen in Omaha in the last two decades is Peyton Manning calling an audible every play.

That's because our coach gets to play defense, too.

[GoFastAndWin]

Wow. On a 10 reason explanation as to why Creighton lost the game, that ranks like 15th. C'mon BlueJay fans.

I hope Shaka sets a screen for Kolek in the second half of our game at Seton Hall.

I agree but Creighton had some good looks in the first half.  But Marquette's defense was next level elite in the second half.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I have no doubt it's intentional by Shaka and it's definitely some gamesmanship on his part. I would hate it if another coach did it, but I hope Shaka continues as long as he can keep avoiding it being called on him.

[1SE]

And coaches. They always commented how well coached MU was in their press conferences.

Opposing fans loved Wojo

[Scoop Snoop]

I hope Shaka sets a screen for Kolek in the second half of our game at Seton Hall.

It would really help if Shaka wears in a MU uni so that his presence is not picked up in a ref's peripheral vision.

Why not? They do it in baseball.

AND it would be a better fashion choice than what Shaka currently wears.

I always like it when coaches that have their own "style", even if it isn't "stylish".

Huggy and his velour tracksuits.

Bobby Knight and his red sweater.

Buzz sweating through his $2000 suit.

He should have Kam pick out an ensemble for him each game.

Damn! You beat me to it.

Let's analyze Jay fans not liking Shaka...

Oh wait a minute...don't care.

[tower912]

I think about MU fans criticizing Hurley.     Yeah,  it doesn't matter.

As a representative of the university, I'd like to see Shaka in a suit and tie (just not a tan suit) and compose himself better on the sideline.  A lot of kids are watching him

[rgoode57]

In all honesty, Shaka does get a bit carried away on the sideline. When an opponent is shooting near the sideline, he needs to watch it. But, you have to love the energy.

[Eye]

Yeah, I can't really recall any opposing fanbases hating Wojo.

Hell, if I was an opposing fan, I'd send Wojo a limo and a make sure he had a police escort to make sure he made the game 100 percent safe and sound.

Honesty? Honesty? Go away!

Why shouldn't it be the offense too? It's the same players

Exactly. Formula for a natty. Find a way to counter the Wisconsin blueprint that Providence borrowed and get back to an elite offense.
