Yes!! Super stoked to get the new season underway.
A little surprised Shaka Smart scheduled us after what we did to him in 2018. Of course we're a completely different team and coaching staff than we were back then. We do have one holdover from that team though, and it's Jaren Marino! I'm counting on him to have been the difference maker!

I think Shaka will be glad not to have one of his former assistants on the other side of the floor. Should be an interesting game since they have just as many unknowns as we do

Wow, impressed by both teams so far. Marquette is playing really good defense, but we're looking good too.

Honestly, really tough loss, but I'm proud of what I saw tonight! We had them on the ropes and nearly took it. Got as close as 53-50 before I think they went on a 19-0 run. But instead of packing it in and giving up, we fought and went on a 12-0 run of our own in the closing minutes to nearly come back.
Giles is a stud and I'm glad he's a Highlander! Shaq had a great double double and the Virgin Islands international play made him a very good, very physical player. Daquon Smith looks to be the best point guard we've had in years. Jeffers played like a leader and closed the game well when it mattered.
All great things! Notre Dame better watch out!
