Some interesting stats to me through the small sample size of four games for #mubb:

1. Chase Ross is the only player averaging double figures scoring at 18.3 points per game.

Last year, four players averaged double figures including Kam Jones, David Joplin, Stevie Mitchell and Ross.

#mubb jumps from 63 to 51 on @kenpom.com with the win over Little Rock tonight.

Offense ranked 66, defense ranked 41.

Maryland, coached by some conman I won’t name, is ranked 60.

Nice high-low between Hamilton and Clark for the dunk. #mubb

At the 2H U4, #mubb leads 82-42.

Good minutes from Tre Norman at the point.

I still like Tre a lot as a “glue guy”. Norman doesn’t have an exceptional part of his game but he plays solid D, rebounds and has a calming influence.

Michael Phillips seems to be shaking his freshman nerves too.

Damarius Owens hits the second free throw.

Now, all 11 #mubb players have scored.

At the 2H U8, #mubb leads Little Rock, 70-34.

Three players in double figures led by Chase Ross’ 16 points.

Nigel James has 13 and Royce Parham has 12.

Ben Gold is 3 points and 2 rebounds away from a double-double. #mubb

At the 2H U12, #mubb leads Little Rock 66-32.

Marquette is 9-14 from the field this half with 6 assists and one turnover.

The D has held Little Rock to just 1-14 from the field.

That’s the way to win a 4-minute segment.

Marquette outscores Little Rock, 13-0.

Missed extra point. 😂

At the 2H U16, #mubb leads 59-29.

Oh yeah, Chase Ross caught a body. I wish I had the video for everyone.

#mubb leads Little Rock, 46-29, at the half.

First half statistics that interest me:

- After following behind 4-3 in the turnover category, Marquette is now (+4) forcing 10 turnovers.

- Marquette is (+11) on the boards including (+8) on the offensive boards.

- 10 assists on 17 FG

Caedin isn’t there yet … but you can see it.

Nimble feet.
Good footwork.
High basketball IQ.

Hamilton is going to be a problem during his career at #mubb.

At the U4, #mubb leads Little Rock, 33-25.

Shaka continues to experiment with lineups.

The lineup leaving the floor at the timeout had no point guard. Chase Ross pushed the ball as lead guard.

With Sean Jones out tonight, I thought we’d see Tre Norman at the point subbing Nigel James.

A freshman will lead us?

🤔

Look, I’m always pessimistic of a freshman being truly impactful for a P5 team unless they are a Top 20 recruit.

It’s early, but Nigel James … wow.

#mubb leads 25-20 at the U8.

James has 11 points, an assist but two turnovers.
November 13, 2025 at 1:32 AM
At the U12, #mubb is still playing with their food.

Marquette leads Little Rock, 14-12.

Golden Eagles are (-1) in turnovers which is a theme so far this year. Way too loose with the ball.
November 13, 2025 at 1:20 AM
Good energy so far for Marquette but nothing is falling from 3.

At the U16, #mubb is up 7-4 over Little Rock.

I like the energy from Parham and James.

With the loss to Indiana, #mubb drops from 46 in @kenpom.com to 61.

Indiana jumps from 32 to 21 with the win.
