Scrambled Eggs - Marquette Basketball

This is the end....of the season

Well, the #mubb season ended kinda sorta like we thought it would. We spend a little bit of time talking about the Big East Tournament but pretty quickly pivot to the most important off season in the program since at least Covid. We talk about what the issues are, what we expect from Shaka, and what we would prescribe for the team to find success next season. We close out with an overview of the college basketball landscape that Marquette is competing in. There is no doubting the pod will be back somewhat frequently unlike offseasons of the past. Enjoy!

Happiest week of the season?

Well, we didn't see that coming but it made it all the more fun. #mubb goes 2-0 for the first time since the first week of the season which includes a bit of a stunner over #4 UCONN. #scrambledeggs breaks down the victory over the Huskies and spends a little time on the PC beat down. We then talk this week in Marquette history before turning to the conference tournament ahead, where anything can happen. While a long off season is staring us in the face, we're hoping much like the plague victim in Monty Python and the Holy Grail "I'm not dead yet". Enjoy!

The warning lights are back on

Well, we thought we were getting better and then DePaul showed up against #mubb. #ScrambledEggs is back and talking about a very up and down week. The most important result was how the team looked overall against DePaul which resulted in the first regular season sweep of Marquette in 4 decades. The first half was a clear return to the early season performances that had us all depressed. We try to process the week's results and also put it all into context with the upcoming off season. We also put a marker down for what we think next years team has to do to avoid a significant fan revolt and/or major changes within leadership. We then look at the week ahead and the odds of winning a game before closing out with memories and Markus Howard. Enjoy!

We Gotta Talk about the Upperclassmen

The #mubb season continues to trudge along with little green shoots that are generally overwhelmed by late game glitches and segments of incompetence. We kick off the pod not with a break down of the St John's game but evaluating the upperclassmen in general and the seniors specifically. This is brought on in reaction to commentary from Shaka Smart in his post game press conference. We then pivot to the Marquette moment in history which highlights the peak Buzz experience. We close out the pod with discussion on Dr. Strange's one path to an NCAA berth and the week ahead. Enjoy!

The one where the boys talk about evolving

Well, well, well. #mubb certainly threw out a bit of a bombshell this weekend(while letting X bomb 3s but pffffsssttt, whatever), in which Shaka and co reveal that the program is evolving. It is very heavily implied that that evolution, the portal is open for business. We spend a bulk of the pod discussing the report, the implications the program, and what impact we think we'll see this off season. As part of that discussion, we talk retention which leads us to discuss the teams performance over the last week. We then remember Chris Farley for happy times and close out with a preview of St Johns. Enjoy!

NMD win has us feeling a new feeling, positive trends

Well, #scrambledeggs took a break but #mubb did not. The team went 2-1 in games during the break and generally looked the best they've looked in 2026. We break down the player performances and game results and what the team seems to be building towards improved play. We then celebrate this week in MU history with a game that uplifted an otherwise sad season (sound familiar?). We then look to the week ahead and whether or not #mubb can continue the positive performances in February. Enjoy!

Green shoots of growth?

Welcome back to #scrambledeggs #mubb fans, we've got some growth (we think). Keep in mind the season is lost and we are viewing things through the lens of what do we have for next year but this past week was actually semi-fun for us. We talk about Nigel setting a freshman record in an improbable victory over Providence and the return of athletic Damarius Owens. For the MU memory this week, it's a special one that directly involved your podcast folks. Lastly we then turn to the next three games (SOMEONE is leaving for vacation and won't be on the pod next week) to talk about where, if anywhere, we can see a win coming. As always, enjoy!

The one where we talk about the future

Welcome back #mubb, it's another week of losses and conversations. We initially discuss the performance against St Johns and DePaul and search for positives (DO is turning a corner?). We then use that as a pivot into fan reaction to the team and potentially the most critical offseason in the modern era. We then look ahead to the Providence and Butler games to see if there is any hope this week for victories. I know things aren't good, but at least we have each other. Enjoy!

Maybe we bounced off the bottom?

We're back with another #mubb podcast and you'll find that we aren't quite as depressed as before. We review the teams performance in a nailbiting win against Xavier that shouldn't have been nailbiting and a nailbiting loss to Nova which we were surprised was so close. We talk about this teams lack of clutch and transitioning to players who have more upside as young players than others who've started or gotten extended run the last two months. We then celebrate a fun memory in #mubb history that is very much part of the visual media that a podcast isn't. Then we turn to the week ahead and while we don't think winning in the Garden is possible, this team could put up some fight against DePaul, which would be nice. Enjoy!

Still doomy but slightly less so

Hey all, new year same #mubb. Team still struggles offensively and can't lock down defensively when they need it but generally speaking the play has been better the last week. We talk about mostly, the Seton Hall game from this past week to frame the team performance. We then talk about #mubb memories past and close out on one of the last few hopes to break the losing steak, playing Xavier at home. Enjoy!
