Sigh.

5-0 Lock
4-1 Should be in
3-2 Should be out but theoretically possible with run in BET
2-3 need to win the BET

LOL there has been nothing over the last month that leads me to believe this team can win any specific game left on there schedule. The team plays zero defense and turns the ball over constantly.

The end has been here for awhile yet no one seems to ever get that. Fans continue to give Coach Wojo rope but nothing about him shows he is even a decent coach. Barely .500 over the last 4 seasons.

I still think we win:

Home against St. Johns
Home against Creighton
Away against Depaul

The season comes down to whether we can win one of either:
@Creighton
@Georgetown

Did you watch today's game and do you know who Creighton is? If so, I'm not sure how you could draw these types of conclusions.

Their vs. there

This team does NOT have an issue turning it over. That’s just false.

I think the issue is more about untimely unforced or just “lazy” TOs as opposed to volume thereof.  We’ve seen that against Butler, The Friars and today recently.

Unless they go 3-2 they aren't making the NIT either. They take conference winners and bubble teams left out of Tourney. I don't see this team going 3-2. Roster is way to thin. Heldt, Anim and Froling are largely useless. I'm sure they're nice kids but they shouldn't be Marquette players. I'm still holding out hope for Froling but Heldt and Anim are low major players.

If we go 3-2 we will likely end up in the first four or next four out. I would be shocked if we don't make the NIT.

If you want to argue that MU won't make the tournament because we can't win the games we need to I will buy that argument. I think 4-1 is doable but I think we fall just short, 3-2 and end up in the NIT.

But the argument that we can't make the tournament now is just wrong. 5-0 or 4-1 does it. 3-2 is even possible with a run in the BET (though still unlikely).

Thats what I had, NIT.  I had them 7-11 in BE play and hopefully it doesn't happen.  Need 4-1 for NCAA. But the team is in a serious rut right now and they probably beat Depaul and St. Johns, that may be it.  Wish them good luck.

They could still sneak in the tourney if they finish strong.  I'm mostly just disappointed the program hasn't taken the next step in the Wojo era at this point. 

Making the tournament is not that hard these days, especially for major conference teams.  Just look at some of the teams- like Marquette- hovering around the Last 4 in.  Just a bunch of teams that aren't good. 

When does this team/program get back to being a mainstay in the top 25 and compete for conference titles?  That's the measuring stick I'm looking for.

I was a big Wojo Backer until these last four games. We needed to
win. I think certain individuals have regressed.  I don't care if this
team is young. At this time into the season some players should
have stepped up by now. I was looking for big thing from Harry but
her is Charmin out there. I  was against Buzz, he looks like an ace
now. Need a veteran hard nose coach.

DePaul up by 15 at the half AT Providence.  Now that, really is The End.

This.  At least 3 or 4 of our TOs today came when a guy lazily telegraphed a pass for an easy pick by a quick guard, leading to a breakaway.  At one point my wife asked why I kept screaming "lazy pass."

Here’s the only important question; were the MU reporters gentle to Woj in the post game?
