Oso planning to go pro
Wojo has tactical coaching flaws, but Marquette is lucky to have him and he's lucky to be here. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. He's doing a phenomenal job recruiting and is keeping the program relevant and in the top 25-40 which I'm happy with. I'm not sure what expectations are for most, but I don't ever want to go back to being irrelevant I'm enjoying this era starting with Crean. In five of last six games lost, the team (excluding Howard) shot 29%, 23%, 27%, 21% and 35% from 3pt range. This offense relies on the 3pt shot given limited inside scoring options and that FG% won't beat anyone especially as many shots are uncontested (thanks to Howard). The officiating in the DePaul loss was horrendous and lopsided in DePaul's favor, but to their credit hitting 31 free throws at 90% is something I can't recall ever seeing. Howard needs to make better decisions too. The whole team needs to step up!
Top 25-40 is barely relevant. Relevance is winning some tournament games, which is difficult to do as a 6 to 10 seed. BTW the refs sucked both ways, don't be a blind homer. If you asked a DePaul fan (if you could find one) they would say the refs favored Marquette.

I admit I am pretty surprised at the thoughtful, appropriate and well reasoned responses to this post. (Yeah Scoop!). At some point what you want has to yield to what is, and that becomes clearer every day. I appreciate your reference to the shooting problems, but would suggest that could also be a function of us going through the second round of our conference opponents who now have a game plan in place to stop us, and for the second year in a row, we have no answer. And the person responsible for that is not Markus.

This may be part of the reason, but many of the missed threes are wide open threes. It is actually astonishing to me how many open threes have been missed in this last part of the season.
Gotta love internet message boards. "I'll say some b@tsh!t crazy stuff and see how many people react"This thread needs to die.
Sorry, not writing this to get anyone's comments, but just find the lack of support insulting to the team.
