Scrambled Eggs - Marquette Basketball

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!

Yep, we have the NMD Sads too

Welcome back #mubb fans, and we at #scrambledeggs are just as sad about the NMD result as you. We kind of, sort of, skip over the Butler game and jump right to the disappointing result against UCONN. We break down what we saw in the game, what we're concerned about, and how this team pivots from this moment. We then spend a lot of time talking about the St John's game on the road as it is likely the toughest test left on the schedule. We also talk about the road game at Creighton and what #mubb can do to replicate the early conference season victory. It's gonna be a tough week but there's potential to come out at the end of the week fighting for possession of a conference title. Enjoy!

Call (out) and Response from the Bench

Welcome back #mubb fans to another episode of #scrambledeggs! First there is technically non-basketball news to cover, Marquette has a new athletic director in Mike Broeker. Congrats to Mike and we dissect the hire. Then we turn to basketball and talk about Shaka (and this podcast) calling out the bench and they responded with significant minutes in the Seton Hall game and a strong performance against Villanova. We break down both games a little bit but really focus on if the results mean Kam is back. We then look add to the trapiest trap game that ever trapped in Butler and then really look ahead to National Marquette Day against UConn. Enjoy!

Holiday break is thankfully behind us

It has been a LONG time since we saw #mubb play but our nightmare is nearly over. #ScrambledEggs is back to talk the 2-0 start in the Big East, how things have gone, and what we've liked. Then we turn to the games ahead and discuss a road game against Providence and a home game against Creighton. We close out the pod with a discussion about confidence levels. Enjoy!

Well that was a bummer

We're back and unfortunately it's after an #mubb loss on the road. We, of course, have to talk about the loss to Dayton, especially after a bit of a collapse from the team. We try to project whether the team is figured out or if it was a fluke. We then sum up the non-conference season before looking at the conference as a whole. Then we close the podcast with a Butler/Xavier breakdown. Enjoy!

National Marquette Day Hits Different

This is gonna be an intense one. #mubb is back after a brief layoff with a heart pounding win against St John's on National Marquette Day. We talk about the vibes, the crowd, and the game to start off the pod. We then turn to the big week ahead. Marquette is on a 7 game winning streak but face to tough road games this week if they hope to extend it. First is a revenge game against Butler in Hinkle, surely Marquette won't shoot so poorly again? Then there is the top 5 showdown in Hartford against #1 UCONN. What will it take for Marquette to win, how does this game impact the rest of the season, we discuss. Enjoy!

Gold out of Wintrust

Yet another solid week for #mubb and another demon slayed. We talk about the result down in Chicago and how it pushes forward the narrative of MU being an elite offense that can play defense when it wants. We also talk about MU being tied for first in conference and the reality of MU being able to win the conference outright. We then turn to the week ahead where we should try to go 2-0 but we'll see how it goes given the shortening of the bench due to injuries. We close out by talking about National Marquette Day. Have some Blue & Gold Brewing and spend time with friends on NMD and enjoy!

NMD was a success, now on to #DLTD week

Welcome back #mubb, we hope you enjoyed National Marquette Day! We are back to talk about the game against Butler and any conclusions that we can draw from such a game. We then turn to the week ahead which features a frisky DePaul team and a St Johns match up that will be frenetic at worst. We close out the pod looking ahead to BET and Selection Sunday. Enjoy!

The legs are wobbly and we answer Scrambled Questions

Marquette went 1-1 this past week but it doesn't feel quite that good. So we're here to talk about the #mubb week that was and the mixed bag of results against Georgetown and Creighton. We then pivot to your questions and answer most of them seriously. We close out the pod with National Marquette Day game predictions. Enjoy!
