These painfully slow offensive starts are putting the team in a tough position the last three games.  The guys have to expend so much energy to come back and then can't get over the hump in the late stages.  They have to start hitting some FG's.

You want to know why this offense looks so f'n bad at times?? Look at the five Wojo had on the floor before this TO..where in the hell does he think the offense is going to come from?? He almost has to make sure two of Koby, Sacar and Markus are on the floor together at all times. Otherwise, they don't have a chance of scoring.

Here we go with fans always giving much respect to an opponent, even if it isn't deserved. It's not only MU fans, but fans everywhere. It's weird, it's like a mental thing, so incase their team loses, they can rationalize it some how.

Sacar stripped on a layup(better than a biff i guess). We get another chance on a run out and Markus shoots a 105 mph floater.

Exactly, my comment of him not having another effienent game is very possible. When was his last truly efficient shooting game?

And are you actually trying to argue we are playing well?? We just dribbled the ball out of bounds again. We are down 14 because we have like 10 To's. Have allowed a handful of offensive boards and putbacks and 2 alley oops.

The storm to be weathered is our own awful performance. I have no idea what games you are watching.

Post by: PGsHeroes32 on February 22, 2020, 12:03:29 PM
I still don't really understand most of the Wojo blame.

Sure, maybe he could try a little something different on offense.

But this is on the players. They cant make shots, they cant pass the ball, they cant dribble the ball. They are watching guys go for alley oops.

Like Wojo can't magically make that happen.

At somepoint the players have to ask themselves if they want to further embarrass themselves or wake up
Title: Re: Providence Game Thread
Post by: WarriorPride68 on February 22, 2020, 12:03:55 PM
Maybe give Markus a breather more often Woj? Played all 20 first half min & down 14

4/14
12 points
0 reb
1 assists (2 TO)

2 total team assists. Wouldn’t be the worst to have him rest for a bit and let the team actually run an offense
Title: Re: Providence Game Thread
Post by: nyg on February 22, 2020, 12:04:17 PM
9 baskets made.  10 turnovers.  Bad

MU 2 assists, PU 10.  Terrible

MU has missed 5 layups, PU has 5 dunks.

Markus has missed at least 4 floaters and is in the mode where, my teammates suck and I am going to take over.  Not working real well.

Koby having another brutal game and has been on bench a very long time.  No points, 3 turnovers.

Our offense is terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Stop and think about this for a moment...MU has allowed Providence to score...43 points at Halftime..They AVERAGE 70.3 PPG, ninth in the Big East..and all of this without their leading scorer scoring a point. They are shooting 59% overall and 58% from 3..PC is the worst shooting team in the Big East at 40% and on average shoot 32% from 3...not today. Great job MU...just fantastic.

Waiting for the "winning on the road is hard" and "the BE is tough this year" and "MU lost a game it was supposed to lose" posts.

The bottom line Providence is much more athletic than MU and when a bad 3 point shooting team is on fire, good night.  Again, I have said all year that Bailey is average at best. Proved it again today, best part of first half was putting McEwen o. The bench who was horrible.

This falls on coaching. Two years in a row with a late season collapse? You cannot tell me this is all on the players. We have 3 offensive plays, Markus off a series of screens, sacar coming off a screen driving with his strong hand, and a travel from your choice of Bailey, Cain, or Koby.

Markus is a great scorer, but his late season struggles also falls a great deal on coaching, IMO.  He is worn down and is so predictable right now it is truly sad to watch. 

I’ve been willing to be patient Wojo because of his recruiting ability, but guy appears to be lost between the lines.  Tough to watch.

Put me in the camp with those asking what the Wojo system is.  If it’s what someone suggested earlier as read/react we have only one guy that can do that.  It can obviously work for the talent at Duke and on Team USA but this team needs something way more effective.  Tired of this and I’ve been trying to wait and see and not overreact on Wojo.  A loss, ok but losing like this to Providence? Come on! <end vent>

Another patented late season epic collapse from an unwatchable, uninspired, under talented poorly coached team.

Bailey is invisible, McEwen is a turnover machine.  After 3+ seasons John still doesn’t know how to go straight up with the ball without dribbling.

Can’t wait for another first round loss...if they still make it.  Howard will leave without a single NCAA tournament win.

Pathetic.

Howard gets smoked under the basket, providence misses a bunnie, Howard gets rebound.    Howard jacks up a step back, hits the front iron, gets own rebound and finishes with 2pts. 

2 rebounds, 2 points in one series.   If only that told the whole story..

One of those places that you need to reserve 2 months in advance so I bet on Wojos program to finish in the top 6. May have not been the best idea to do that lol

Don’t take this crap out on Markus. He’s a top 3 player in the country who is an elite scorer. His distribution and overall game has gotten a lot better this year. It’s not his fault his coach is out of ideas and strategy so he just rolls him the ball and has him gun.  There has been times I’m annoyed with his play, but one of the best pure scorers in NCAAB history isn’t the reason this team is in trouble, his usage by an overmatched coach is.

This. There should be ample amounts of good shots for his teammates. The offense being ran is horrible. Not Markus' fault. It's all on Wojo.

That hasn’t happened with Wojo period. I hear you and enjoy transition ball, but it’s not likely for a variety of reasons and continuing to direct the blame or cracks at a special kid and player who is very often electric, and a tremendous rep for this program, when you’re gripe is with his coach, feels ehh to me.

Goose, I respect you and your opinion, but I’ve never said he’s the GOAT but I think he’s an incredible talent with limitations on his team ceiling due to size, supporting class, and coaching. It’s been well established he’s not your type of player and how you bristle are the thought of him being mentioned with anyone from the Al years, but I have no idea why you feel the need to borderline mock him and people’s favorable opinion of him. That’s all.

IMO it is a team game and on court success occurs if a team has a generational player. My mocking may be unfair, but I have hard time believing that anyone wants to play with a guy who shoots as much. I believe his flaws have overshadowed his moments of greatness.
Like you, I watched a lot of MU ball and have seen all degrees of players and never have seen body language by teammates like I have with Howard. Yes, GE jumps up and down and cheers every shot, but I have seen teammates shy away from him this season.
All that said, the kid does not deserve to be mocked. I will save that for Wojo.

I think this falls at the feet of weak player development.  These young men were talented in high school - certainly more talented as a collective group than many recruiting classes from Deane, Crean, and Buzz in most cases.  If we could take Wojo's recruiting and Buzz's ability to develop talent...

Not sure I agree that these guys were that talented in high school (relatively speaking of course). Wojo seems to get a lot of credit for his near misses (Grimes, Mannion, etc.). A lot of the guys on this team seem like they were our second and third options in recruiting at the time.

Player development seems to be pretty normal for me. Theo and Sacar have both probably developed more than their projections would have been.

I agree with you on near misses and second and third options.  I just recall a number of Crean's classes imploding and Buzz bringing in people who developed into NBA-level talent.

He did this the first few years. High pressure defense leading to transition. However, we either didn't have the coaching or personnel to run the defense successfully. Defensive system was overhauled to be more passive and the defense improved. The offense has suffered a bit as a result.

Selective memory.

Umm...refresh my memory.  Here's what I recall:

Crean:  2000 and 2001 brought Wade, Meriitt, Deiner, Odartey, Jackson transferred in (2002?), and I am missing a couple that led to a Final Four. Novak came in 2002(?)  Enough said on those early classes, they stand on their own.   I don't think anyone from 2003 made it past two years, 2004 was a complete bust, too.  Had a great 2005 class that stuck together.  Hit on Lazar in 2006 - although Buzz had him his last couple years where he exploded - everyone else "meh...".  On the whole, and I emphasize on the whole, we had huge success (especially early) and some complete misses in other years which averages out.

Buzz:  I don't think he ever landed a recruit or Juco transfer that every one thought was sure fire NBA.  But he developed a number of players to that level. Lazar, JB, Jae.  DJO was close.  I know I am forgetting some.

This is not a complete list but I think it's pretty close to hitting the high (and low) points. 

In my opinion, the years under Wojo have seen a more consistent level of talent entering the program than under Crean and this talent, in general, was more highly regarded that Buzz's recruits.  Again, my opinion.

So, I say again, wish we had Wojo's recruiting and Buzz's talent development.

We sure as hell wnt win the next 4 with the way we played last 3. And we haven't sniffed upper tier with the Wojo wisdom. At best we are mid pack Big East.

I'm not sure it will...for some people yes I'm sure it will, but the realists would look at it and understand that IF they won the last 4, three of those would be against Georgetown, St. john's and DePaul...the bottom 3 teams in the Big East. Not exactly impressive, but that's what MU does.
