Kolek planning to go pro
I look forward to the how to win a bunch of games articles, too.....
Mr. Google: Select tools/time/past weekhttps://painttouches.com/2020/01/22/jayce-johnson-beast-of-the-boards/When is your Wojo Impeachment Defense article coming in CS? I look forward to that analysis.
If it goes like the bigger one, it will be a slam dunk acquittal.Like I said earlier, the losses here are talked about for decades, the wins disappear soon after. We are a miserably entitled fan base.

We are a miserably entitled fan base. In the few days I have seen everything from jag offs here accuse the staff of playing someone with a known concussion (no proof) to a host of other complete crap.

Did you read the article? I literally bring that up in the first 4 paragraphs and use a Buzz example.And my big issue after 6 years of data points is that Marquette has only beaten 1 team that finished in the top 25 of KenPom away from home, in 22 attempts. 1-21. Wojo's teams have proven consistently that in the toughest games, without a home court to fall back on, it can't seal the deal. In fact, they rarely keep it within single digits. 17 of the 21 losses have been by 10 points or more. I don't expect MU to have a winning record in these games. I'm pretty rational. But this is too much lopsided data for me to ignore. Someone we revere once said teams are a reflection of a coach's personality. Wojo's teams have all wilted under pressure.(And I'm not even saying MU should part ways yet. Simply that this loss shared way too many of the traits of previous losses to be regarded as a fluke. It needs to be addressed.)
Interesting data point. What was Buzz’s record against the Top 25 on the road while at Marquette? Crean’s? The rest of the Big East?
Yeah, that would help give a more complete picture about how uncommon losing to top 25 teams on the road is.
2009 - Buzz was 0-52010 - Buzz was 2-5 (both neutral court) 2011 - Buzz was 3-6 (two wins on neutral site)2012 - Buzz was 1-42013 - Buzz was 2-4 ( one neutral site win)2014 - Buzz was 0-5Overall W-L record was 8-29 (3 wins on road)Wojo was2015 0-7 2016 0-42017 0-4 (1 loss to final four2018 0-52019 1-1 (win on neutral site)2020 0-4Overall W-L 1-25 Wojo has a couple bad breaks in there. He beat #26 Seton Hall ( home and away) and #30 Xavier (Home and away) which likely knocked them out of Top 25 however lost to #25 Butler away. Of Marquette’s losses this year all of them were against Top 31 on the road or neutral court but Providence. Buzz definitely has done better but not a great record. I would say he owns the most disappointing year in 2009 when he went 0-5 with Mathews, James, McNeal, Lazar and Butler and in same time period played in 11 more games. When looking at bad losses both contained theirs to the first two years with 4 125+ losses each.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
My quick tally through 2002 when Pomeroy starts with the ranked data had Crean at 11-19. So, Crean was ~37%, Buzz at 22% and Wojo at 4% on winning percents versus Top 25 teams away from home. Pomeroy puts MU’s odds of winning at #18 Nova at 35% in our last regular season Top 25 away from home game. As I have said before, Wojo is a systems coach, not a chess master like Al. When clicking, his offenses have been the best of any MU teams in the statistical era (#19 this year). But, like Bo, when his team and systems get down away from home, blow outs are not uncommon. This is why I harp about his defense as you need it on the road. Crean and Buzz had better defensive teams with their personnel and systems. For Crean, it was disrupting passing lanes, for Buzz is was with disrupting paint touches. For Wojo, it is defending in space. Thus, to me, the only way he is going to reverse this poor trajectory is higher talent for his systems.
