Chicago Alumni Basketball thing last night

[Galway Eagle]

Curious what anyone else who was there thought. I was personally really disappointed with the questions to Wojo. Great hearing Bo Ellis talk though.

It was a huge improvement from prior years.  Wojo actually said some things of substance.

And free booze and food.

Well don't leave us hanging -- what did he say

[warriorchick]

Well don't leave us hanging -- what did he say

Well, he said our four new guys are our four best shooters.  He said that over the summer, Joey put on 20 pounds of muscle and grew a half-inch.  That Reinhart and Rowsey still need to learn how to play defense.  He talked about how incredibly smart Markus Howard was - knew he graduated a year early, but I didn't know he also graduated as valedictorian of his class - but that he is still a 17-year-old kid.

He also called out the sweater vests and fans in general for not showing more enthusiasm (in a very polite way, of course), and talked about the home game atmosphere being an important part of the team's success.

Overall, it was much better than the previous two years where he just did the boilerplate talking points about "winning every day" and "I am really excited about the upcoming season".

Chick's gettin' ahead of herself.  Pretty sure she meant Sam.

Yep.  My bad.

Also, I got my highly collectible Travis Diener bobblehead signed while I was there.

[GoldenWarrior11]

I went last year but didn't attend this year because of work commitments.  Feel bad that I missed it. 

Last year I remember thinking that I was more impressed with Kieger's speaking/promoting than Wojo's, but Wojo's personality is not exactly like a Crean/Buzz - who were experts in creating excitement and enthusiasm into attending games and functions.

She was great as well.  Sounds like we have some great new freshman.  Apparently, we are playing UConn this year.  Unfortunately, it is an away game.

Oh.  20 lbs is nice.  He might be playing more than I thought he would.

[GoldenWarrior11]

How was the food?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

The women's basketball team are going to be very, very good this year.

Chick, what did Travis say about the bobble head?

[muwarrior69]

The women's basketball team are going to be very, very good this year.

Chick, what did Travis say about the bobble head?

The resemblance is uncanny.

[warriorchick]

The women's basketball team are going to be very, very good this year.

Chick, what did Travis say about the bobble head?

Not too much.  He seems to be relatively reserved 1 on 1. I was kind of hoping Wojo would have been close by when I approached him so that he could give Travis some sh!t about it.

Travis told a good story up on the dais though.  Homer had asked everyone (Bo, Travis, Jimmy Mac) why they decided to go to Marquette.  Travis said he had just gotten back from an official visit to SLU and told his family he wanted to commit to them.  An hour later, his mom and sisters showed up at his bedroom door crying because they thought SLU was too far away and they would miss him too much.  "So that meant it had to be either Marquette or Wisconsin.  And no way was I going to Wisconsin."   That got some of the biggest applause of the night.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I don't see the game on the 2016-2017 schedule?  Unless it's 2017-2018 season?

I'm just going by what she said.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Oh.  20 lbs is nice.  He might be playing more than I thought he would.

If my math is right that puts him at 6"8 220. If he can play defense, then he should get a lot of minutes at the four.

[JakeBarnes]

If my math is right that puts him at 6"8 220. If he can play defense, then he should get a lot of minutes at the four.

And would be a 3 in next year's offense possibly. Which would make him deadly given his projected shooting abilities. It is hard not to get excited about what is brewing--even if it is a process. Now, go get X WOJO! #RTP

[warriorchick]

If my math is right that puts him at 6"8 220. If he can play defense, then he should get a lot of minutes at the four.

I believe Wojo said 235.  His body fat percentage went from 14% to 9%, so maybe he put on a little fat after the end of the HS season.

[bilsu]

Oh.  20 lbs is nice.  He might be playing more than I thought he would.

and fatter feet make him a half inch taller

[KampusFoods]

If my math is right that puts him at 6"8 220. If he can play defense, then he should get a lot of minutes at the four.

Is he really that tall? I thought he was like 6'6"

[warriorchick]

Is he really that tall? I thought he was like 6'6"

6'7 1/2" per Wojo last night.  My guess is that is a true measurement as opposed to a "roster" height.

The enthusiasm will come with winning. The last few years have not been much to get the fans all wound up and excited.

I said the same thing to chick last night.  We've done our part averaging probably 18 home games each of the past 3 years from 100+ miles away.  The burden rests with the program at this point.

Glow, I'm with you. I have not been to quite as many games as you and Chick but six a year for a guy that's never home and has a Ms. Dgies who does not appreciate the finer elements of MU basketball ain't bad. She's been down on basketball ever since I took her to a game on her birthday (it was a home game in the McGuire era and who the heck would miss that -- even for a girlfriend's birthday).

Anyway, it's time for the program to step up. I don't think an NCAA berth this year is an unreasonable expectation.

Thanks to you and Chick for the report.

Somehow I have bamboozled the fiance (last week I can say this!) to love Marquette basketball. And even engage in Badger Hate Weeks (like when her Buckeyes were playing Bucky for B10 Champ during the Marquette/Bucky game). It's been pretty great...and she likes turning the trip from Chicago into an extended weekend.

That said, I'd sure like the team to win enough so I can convince her a March trip should be on the schedule...

Just to be clear, I wasn't at the event last night.  I'm confident that Wojo probably talked about how important fan support is and didn't chastise anyone.  We've had discussions here about the dwindling attendance.  This year will certainly be worse.  And the way that gets fixed is winning.

What do you guys think about having to learn about playing defense comment? Based on this he said it about Rowsey & Reinhardt and did not say it about the freshmen. Maybe he his just holding the more experience players to a higher standard, but I always had the impression that if you cannot play defense you do not play much.

Dallas 

[warriorchick]

I think you are correct.

Thanks for the expert analysis, but since you guys weren't actually there  , I will provide a little more context.

He talked about each player separately.  He said,  "He is from the East Coast [for Rowsey]" and "He is from the West Coast [for Reinhardt]" and then in each case, he said, "He's learning to play the way we do in the middle".  Both times he said it smiling.  If they were actually there, I would have said that he was needling them a little bit in a light-hearted way.

I took it to mean that they are such great shooters, they weren't expected to contribute as much on the defensive side on their previous teams, but that the coaches were "retraining" them to play our way.  It wasn't in a stern way like, "Those guys better step up and play some D, or they are going to be riding the bench."

I fear how bad student support will be. Think about this, the seniors this year have never seen Marquette make the postseason. The only other time since our first postseason that our seniors haven't seen a postseason was the 63-67 class and George Thompson isn't walking through the tunnel this year.

Is the Midwest known for its defense?  Anyway I think the larger point is that I think Wojo wouldn't call out a freshman like that.

[warriorchick]

True enough. 

And it sounds to me like Wojo is kind of creating a new paradigm with this (perhaps the college basketball version of the "West Coast Offense"?).  After all, he's from Maryland and went to school in North Carolina, and as I recall, his defensive skills were decent enough.

It wouldn't surprise me if Rowsey needed work on defense. But if be surprised if Katin was that far behind. I've been lead to believe that he is a three and D type player.

It might not be as terrible as one might think.  MU started pushing and selling season tickets to the new Frosh at Preview and again at Orientation.  This is a new 'early marketing' program.  We also have a modestly larger Frosh class compared to last year that also might help.  We'll see.

Reread what I wrote "the only other time our seniors haven't seen us make the postseason..." As of this moment our seniors have not seen us make the postseason, no different than this moment in 1967. Now if March comes around it'll be the first time since before 1955 that a class has graduated without seeing a postseason

My Freshman year we were not good either. I bought 2 season tickets (reserved first row corner seats in the MECCA) for 16 dollars. Because of that I was grand fathered and paid 16 dollars for those seats my entire time at MU each year which by my senior years was a hot item.

[bilsu]

Rowsey has been in the system for a year and Reinhardt is new to the system. So I could see Reinhardt being behind. Rowsey should already know the system. Based on this I have moved Howard ahead of Rowsey in my projection of playing time.

Any idea how much those cost?

A C-note.  It also includes one free beer per game, so basically, they are free.

[jsglow]

Any idea how much those cost?

I 'think' it's $100 for the season ticket plus $50 required B/G donation.  Does include a free beer every game.  No, they can't be saved up!

Sorry to keep derailing the thread but if I get a pair is that two $50 donations or can I just do one. I can probably do it either way but with my current income and student loan payments I was definitely not going to be able to pay for the minimum $500-6000 per pair that they have listed online.

EDIT: Now I look again there are some tickets cheaper than that ($130/ticket) but I would assume that they also require a donation.

But no free beer.  And these seats are right next to the student section (upper bowl, of course).

Source.  You want to be over there in the Coors Light section.  It's where your friends will be.  Kinda like a mini student section.  They had solid attendance last year and the group had fun.  Don't know if they spread the donation out over 2 tickets.  Easy telephone call to MU.

[BM1090]

Do you sit in the student section with these tickets or somewhere else in the upper deck? Does this apply to students in the graduate program as well?

I'll have to look into it, might be far cheaper than what I'm currently paying.

I believe it's the upper section immediately to the right (as you're facing the court) of the student section. So not actually in the student section, but right next to it.

[jsglow]

I believe it's the upper section immediately to the right (as you're facing the court) of the student section. So not actually in the student section, but right next to it.

Basically sections 427 & 428, right next to students.  They even have their own dedicated little beer tappin' guy right outside on the concourse and might even be able to strike up a conversation with a pretty girl their age! 

As to all the rules/regulations, telephone people.  Now I know you youngins think everything can be done with a text or a snapchat but you will actually have to talk to a human being.  I know it's tough for some of you but I have confidence. 

I will add Eagle1090 that they allowed my daughter to 'switch' her ticket last year.  She had already bought a season ticket last summer before the section was announced and allowed her to make the change with a phone call.  Last year they did 'assign' seats but absolutely nobody paid attention to that 'rule'.

This is what I found on the website. I'm going to call tomorrow. If that $150 includes the donation, I will probably spring for two of those tickets. If not and it's an additional $50/seat, I am going with the $130 tickets.

Thanks for the information, I'll definitely look into it. I'm in the opposite corner of the upper bowl so it sounds like I'd be switching to a similar seat at a much better value. My only issue is that I didn't do my Undergraduate at Marquette, but am currently in the Grad program. If I can get these tickets following completion of the Grad program, it sounds like a no brainer. Thanks again.

My understanding is you can. I did a one year grad program right after undergrad, and that's the only reason I am qualifying. This is my last year.

I recommend it over the $130 section. That's where I was at first and think the recent grad deal seats are better seats. Just be strategic about the free beer. You may miss the tip if you try to get one at the start. Can only redeem at that one stand by 427.

The women's basketball team are going to be very, very good this year.

I feel very safe in thinking that WBB is more likely to make the NCAA tournament than MBB.

And they have only one senior.

[94Warrior]

If any recent grads are not taking advantage of the Coors Light seats,  I would be happy to buy a pair from you (if you can buy 2), otherwise I'd buy one. 

You would get the priority points for the tickets and donations, and it wouldn't cost you a penny.
I would buy them myself, but I dont qualify by a couple years.

Otherwise, I would trade you for two tickets in 412 row H, and pay the difference.  Let me know!

This is what I found on the website. I'm going to call tomorrow. If that $150 includes the donation, I will probably spring for two of those tickets. If not and it's an additional $50/seat, I am going with the $130 tickets.

Got mine today. Total with taxes/donation/fees/ticket was around $190/ticket. I wasn't sure if I could buy more than one going in but they said it was fine.
