We play Chattanooga on Friday. I’m guessing we’re like 2 point underdogs.
After this we either lose by 20 or win by 10. Will honestly be telling of how the guys react to all this.

I'll miss watching Markeith's athleticism. Much of what has been said here is true about his attitude, and his on-court play this year. In fairness, he's been playing out of position a good chunk of the season.
Having said that, I find it odd that last game EJ and KP didn't start, but Markeith did. If he had been such an issue, I would have thought that he'd have been on the bench as well.
But I find it truly hard to believe that coach would kick any player off of the team for getting upset in practice and punting a ball. Imagine trying to recruit when word gets out that something that small doesn't result in less playing time, or getting benched for a game or two, but gets you booted from the team. It's just not smart, and I'm going to give coach the benefit of the doubt - that he's smarter than that. IMHO, Jimmy hit the nail on his head with this being merely the straw that broke the camel's back, but there have been a number of issues prior other than the body language.
In a similar vein, there is no way a coach should offer specifics on why a player was dismissed. You simply say it was about a team rules violation or something vague along those lines. If you get into particulars, again, it's going to make your job to recruit that much more difficult. Most of us can remember the idiotic things we did as college-age humans.
Finally, in terms of body language. There are other players on the team that have displayed some ugly body language going back to last year. I was actually shocked at the body language I saw even early on in the CU game before we were down 20, and the worst of the body language that I saw wasn't coming from Markeith. So this isn't solely a Markeith problem, it's an entitled young man problem that permeates this squad.
No matter the reason for the dismissal, it's happened, we have to move on, and coach is going to have to dig deep to get these guys to play as a team and for their teammates.

There's no way Lundy did this without a deeper reason. I also subscribe to the "final straw" theory. Otherwise, we'd have to start calling him "Steinbrenner."

I agree with about 2/3rd to 3/4ths of the posters here (that there must have been some other "final straw" reason, which was related to MB's constant "toxic/me first/I wany mine" bad attitude. One which no matter how great of numbers he put up last year, we always saw on both ends of the court. So, instead of adding any opinions that have already been shared, I'll simply point out that Markieth Browning has possibly regressed statisticly more this season that any player in all of D1 (and that's like 362 D1 teams)...

I also really do not mean to derail this thread, but there are are two other Milwaukaee players from last year who are amongst the biggest regresser's in the country, who are still getting over over 50% of this team's minutes. But that should be for another thread.

That is until Bart Lundy discovers the secret point guard weapon that is Reilly Hall

Curious to see how those two play without the souring of the vibes. Mostly stop turning the damn ball over for literally no reason.

I’m hearing another player is out for the season. What is the actual point of this post? It adds nothing but speculation. Either drop what you might know or just save it. Do we have to go through this every couple days? Or just make a burner account and post what you know via that. Im hearing that a took an extra stinky dump this morning, but i dont need to post about it.

Did Lundy say anything about Browning in his radio interview this week?

This is fair and I agree however don't post anything until it is announced. The speculation part doesnt do any good for anyone.

Thats exactly what im saying is, why even post it? so you can have internet kudos from the 2 dozen of us that actually post here? So they cant be openly shared but you can post some lame speculation type posts. Cornballs.
