Marquette Post Game Thread

Before last night they were averaging only 10 a game. It was a 1 game outlier. Turnovers have not been a problem for this team.

Without Liam and a healthy Hass, expect it to be ragged. Hopefully they’ll both get better quickly.

You can’t go into next year with your pg being a rotation of Nowell and Mahaney. Would be a huge disappointment with the talent they conceivably will have at every other position.

There’s no way in hell this will be the case

The PG experiment is pretty much over with, and we certainly don’t need him playing significant 2G minutes. Unless there mutual consent to being a spare bench piece again next year, in his senior year after starting his first 2 years for a tourney team, not sure how this one works out.

We have finite resources. Mahaneys NIL deals need to go to a starting transfer PG that can help us win a championship next year. Sorry not sorry.

I hope Nowell and Mahaney aren't are only PG options next year. I think Hurley will pick up a big atheltic PG to run the offense in the portal and they might groom Adams to be the backup PG. I'm not sure Nowell and Mahaney from I have seen are answers next year. I will give Nowell the benefit of the doubt since he is a freshmen and has battled injuries. I can't say the same for Mahaney who has been overall not effective for us besides a couple of spurts. I think it is pretty evident and Hurely even said Mahaney isn't a PG. He is only playing there now sine Nowell is hurt and has been inconsistent when playing.

I have no idea what your projection for Hassan was this season, but I recall many people on here lacking confidence that Hass could be a starting PG. In my opinion, he’s done a totally serviceable job at it this season. He’s not Tristen Newton, but I think he’s done his job admirably all season and continues to get better.

All of that is to say I wouldn’t count out Mahaney’s ability to step up and take on huge responsibility next year. I also wouldn’t count out Nowell’s ability to make a similar jump as the one Hass made from his first to his second season here.

Calling on one of the quintessential Boneyard receipt savers to handle this.

All Mahaneys NIL deals should be going into the transfer PG fund

There's no reason to be a dick about it.

What’s the nice way to say it? I didn’t say Hurley should force him out or pull his scholly. These aint student athletes anymore they’re making 6 figures.

Just not cool! He's one of our guys who is working hard and trying his best to improve and contribute.

How about we all go to your place of employment and tell them to fire you and hire someone else using the money they have been paying you?

Wow! Not appropriate whatsoever!

Cmon We don’t have unlimited NIL. College teams have to be constructed under a budget like any pro franchise now. ROI matters.
Rick Barnes literally just said Lanier wasn’t doing what he was getting paid for.
And yes if you were spending your own money to fund my salary (or in this case donating to a collective) I wouldn’t hold it against you.
