Kolek planning to go pro
If a player score 20 consecutive points from virtually the same spot why doesn't somebody make an adjustment and keep him off that place? Kept waiting for a zone to mix them up for a few plays.reminds me of the Stanford game where Lopez basically camped out below the basket and tossed in shot after shot and we let him park there uncontested. Still rankles when I think about it.
Ask Jim Valvano.
ESPN said most missed threes by a player in BE since 2009
Wojo should have gone into a 3-2 Zone to challenge. Otherwise he didn't add any wrinkles at all which is very disturbing.As far as Lopez goes, not much you can do when the tallest player on the team is 6 inches shorter than Lopez. If MU had a natural big man then, they would have been very difficult to beat. Only lost that game by a point I believe while playing against 2x 7 footers.
I didn't think Wojo called for it when it happened. I thought Bailey didn't know the score and did it on his own. I am just saying I still didn't hate it, because I am very confident they score with little time on the clock and we lose if we don't foul. At least this way we had a chance to win. I get it, you all don't agree. The real indictment of Wojo in my stance is that he could not formulate a defense to stop Baldwin in the closing minutes other than hoping he'd miss, so we were going to lose if we didn't foul.
I still can’t believe MU didn’t go 2 for 1 with 40 plus seconds left and the ball. That end of game strategy was so bad. I say this in the NFL threads all the time...you have a collective staff earning millions of dollars. Basic game strategy should not be a constant challenge. Game Score. Time Left. Situation.So dumb.
Markus is a great guy and has done awesome things at MU. That said, tonight he cost us a win. Strange to say and very rare to say but IMO he lost the game.
At any rate the point was moot, because what Wojo did by admitting a gaffe after the game was the worst of all things. He showed the team he didn't know what he was doing.
Coach K, Jay Wright, Dean Smith, Rick Majerus, and now Jim Valvano. If Wojo’s here long enough, he’ll eventually be compared to every coach in the Hall of Fame.
As in "Wojo couldn't carry the jock of Coach K, Jay Wright, Dean Smith, Rick Majerus, and Jim Valvano."?
USF fouled BYU on purpose UP 2 points today. Dude missed the front end and they won...
So Wojo said the last time he looked they were down by two.You mean he didn't look at scoreboard the whole second half?MU was not behind the whole second half.
So Wojo said the last time he looked MU was down by two.You mean he didn't look at scoreboard the whole second half?MU was not behind the whole second half until he decided to foul and give Butler the lead.His defense philosophy is a another topic.Change defenses or double Baldwin and get the ball out of his hands.Make someone else beat you.Elementary.
Outstanding points. Lost in everything is all Butler was doing to get Baldwin most, maybe all of his shots, was setting him a high screen. And Wojo was just flummoxed by that sophisticated offense. But hey, no reason for concern, Wojo is the best we can do, etc.
False, rewatch
As bad as Wojo's decision was, I have more respect for him admitting the mistake rather than coming up with a lame excuse.
No one will ask.
No one asked because we lost. But in the context of an abysmal multi-faceted meltdown a head scratching foul is just a cog in a much bigger gear.
It is accurate, especially in overtime By the way, how you doing on examples of great coaches who at one point in their career forgot the score. I’m sure you’re further along than last night, when Gruber losing a timeout was the “best” and only example you could muster.
