Scrambled Eggs - Marquette Basketball

A bad week to be sure, but let’s take it in stride

Well, the joys of college basketball generally and #mubb specifically is they zig when we zag. The team had a rough week losing one game that was somewhat expected and another that was definitely unexpected. So we talk about the week in total and especially everyone taking their foot off the gas against Butler. We also spend time talking about the defense and what is driving the lagging performance of late. We then look ahead to the week to come and predict whether it will bring success or more pain. As always, enjoy!

Oh nothing, just a casual sweep of a top 15 program in the country

Only one game this week, must not be much #mubb to talk about, right? Wrong! Any time you sweep Villanova it is cause for conversation. Then, while we never tire of heaping them on this team, we are running out of superlative's to say about this squad so we decide to look ahead to the tournament and what fate has in store for our intrepid warriors. This leads to a floor/ceiling conversation as we try to be reasonable while also being absolutely giddy. We close out with our concerns for the week ahead and #mubbTMM. Enjoy!

It was a good run, let’s start another

We're back to talk about #mubb and for the first time in a while we have to talk about a loss. We talk about the victory over Seton Hall and break down the loss to Providence. Does this loss introduce any doubts for us or leave us concerned about the direction of this season? Definitely not, but we've got to talk about it. Then we turn to the rematch against Nova, and spend some time with it as it's the only game for MU on the schedule this week. Enjoy!

Consider the bar raised

This has been one heckuva week for sports in general and for #mubb specifically. We had some drinks while recording, but we did not deliver on the 17 drink pod we promised if #mubb went 2-0, we aren't monsters. So we breakdown the games against Villanova and Xavier, looking to identify just what has this team found in themselves that has led to this thrilling winning streak. We also talk about what this all means for NCAA tournament hopes and whether Team Bubble Watch #TBW is even a thing this year. We close out the pod forecasting the week ahead and try not to get too optimistic....but that might not even be possible anymore. Enjoy!

Potential Revealed

It was a heck of a week for #mubb and we've got to talk about it. We spend time talking about the week that was and how it has changed our expectations for the season. We also troll the Seton Hall fans a little bit while talking about the tight results on Saturday. We then turn to the balance of the season and what we think this team can do and how we see it going. It's then time to talk about the upcoming week. We discuss what is possible against Villanova and Xavier and then predict the outcomes. We close out with some #mubbTMM. Enjoy!

This is fun, like super fun

#mubb had something to say this last week, and boy so do we. The podcast is back to talk about the mollywoppings from Marquette against Providence and The Fighting Patrick Ewings. We talk about what changed in the last couple of games to generate these results and whether it's sustainable. We turn to the upcoming game and the never ending weirdness that are games against DePaul. We then pivot to Saturday's game against a likely ranked Seton Hall team which ends up generating a discussion on most disliked Big East fans. We finally close out the pod with some predictions and some #mubbTMM. Enjoy!

Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water

Let's get right to it, not fouling when up 3 was a bad choice and not in a revisionist history sort of way, in a very real time everyone knew it sort of way. However, one bad choice also shouldn't sink the whole of year one for the Shaka era. We're back to talk about the disappointing result against Creighton and preview the games against Providence and Georgetown. Bottom line, panic isn't necessary but the frustration is understandable, and we think this week is the week to right the ship. Enjoy!

Post hoiday basketball is getting weird

Hope everyone enjoyed their time with family at Christmas, we certainly did. We came back to the pod ostensibly to talk UConn vs #mubb game result and preview the St John's game.....welp, the St John's game isn't happening. So we talk about the UConn game and then pivot to what the next couple of weeks could look like generally. Then to lighten the mood we turn to your questions, which were fantastic. Enjoy!

Conference season opens with a not unexpected loss

Welcome to Big East conference season, glad you could join us! #mubb had a single game this week against Xavier. Team started well for once but couldn't sustain. We talk about the game and what it might mean going forward. We also talk about the only game this week, a match-up against UConn at home. We close out the pod with an unplanned topic. We hope everyone has a merry Christmas. Enjoy!

Non-conference is done, and its time to look back

Welcome to a new episode of Scrambled Eggs! We are hear to talk about the week that was in #mubb and the non-conference experience overall. First we talk about the take away from MU going 1-1 this week (and avoiding the December 0-fer we feared) and then get into the details of the K-State and UCLA results. We then ask, what have we learned as a result of this non-conference season and how do we apply those learnings to the conference season. We then preview the first Big East game of the season on the road against a tough Xavier team. We close out the pod with everyone's favorite bit, #mubbTMM. Enjoy!
