Scrambled Eggs - Marquette Basketball

First week in the books for #mubb and honestly, much better than expected. We've got to talk about Josh Clark right off the jump (see what I did there, did you SEE THAT?) and how his development is a very pleasant surprise and creates a higher floor for the team. We also talk about whether it's sustainable beyond the low level competition to date. We also talk about the overall performance against admittedly inferior opponents but the domination was so significant that it can't be written off as merely "buy opponents", especially defensively. We then pivot to the week ahead and two very different (and better) quality opponents in Michigan and Missouri. This will be the real test of the team and will make next weeks pod very interesting. Enjoy!

Welcome back (or for the first time) to another season of #mubb. I don't know that we would say this is a highly anticipated pod but we look forward to the annual predictions pod because the season could be anything at this point, even a boat. We first talk about Mercy week before we dive into the game by game projections. The season is ready to launch and so are we, enjoy!

Depending on when you listen to this, we are a week (or less) away from the official kickoff of #mubb's 2026-27 basketball season. At least through the exhibition games, this years team seems considerably better than last year's dark vision of #mubb. The question for this podcast is, how much better and what our expectations should be. We talk about the expectations in the form of new comers to the team, returning players, and overall team expectations. Enjoy!

Guys, it's been a minute. The summer was great and relatively quiet, but also a nice palate cleanser for last season. However, fall is upon us so we must return to the podcast studio to discuss the upcoming season and the team. We chat about the vibes from the offseason, do we care about Canada (basketball tours), and news/notes. We also talk about legal exhaustion then get to the fun part, the schedule. It's not the full game by game schedule review but we chat some overall schedule thoughts. Enjoy!

Welcome back to a non-boring #mubb offseason podcast in at least several years. We are back to talk all things roster as this most recent portal season draws to a close. We first talk about the incoming players and assess where and how they fit into the roster. We then talk players who've said and unfortunately an unexpected player to leave. We look at the whole thing together and the implications for the rosters next season. We close out with grades and looks ahead for the rest of the offseason. Enjoy!

It's officially official portal season for #mubb. Returners to the roster (majority anyway) have been announced so we discuss our excitement about who's officially returning. We then talk about who isn't returning (spoiler, we think those are positive too) and discuss what to make about the players on this roster of which there have been no mention whatsoever. Based on what's been announced and what we speculate about the unannounced players, we provide our recipe for a successful portal season with 3 known roster spots available. One other change we need to discuss is Nevada Smith leaving to head coach Siena. First of all, congrats coach we'll miss you but also please don't take your jar of magic beans with you. We discuss how Nevada's departure impacts the staff and program going forward and what we're looking for in a new staff member. Buckle up, this is the fun part. Enjoy!

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!

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!

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!

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!
