Happy, but
« on: December 08, 2018, 06:49:14 PM »
Happy, but here is where I will get critical of Wojo.  He has got to get Markus to stop playing so much hero ball.  If he would learn to distribute it more, this team would be deadly.

If he would look to pass even every third drive it would completely change the offense

The entire MU pregame was about how to contain Howard.  He scored 27.  You take the great with the bad.

Did we drop streamers from the ceiling after this game?  I have not gone to a game yet this year, but tell me we do this every game and not for just this game. 

Win a game and pretend you have been there before.  That is almost as bad as #dickpunch Davison.

He scored 27 because he took roughly 372 shots.  He is a great, great player, but it would be better for him, better for us, if he shared the ball a little more.  At least don't take low percentage shots in the first half of the shot clock.

Don't want to complain today though.  Big win over a big rival when we didn't play our best.  That could only mean good things.

Yup, Markus did not play his best.  He isn't going to every game.  Not any other good options. 
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

This team desperately needs somebody who can create other than Markus.  And we just don’t have anyone right now.

27 points. He shot 24% from the field. 7-29. He was brutal.

He was absolutely awful...I can take some of the misses...but I cant take him taking sh1t shots while the Hausers are wide open.  Joey had a few words for him at the end of regulation as he missed him standing wide open.  That said...we beat Bucky...no complaints.

Agree I’d like to see a more balanced offense. But we have one of the more stagnant “motion” offenses and MH often is the only one who can shake a defender. Don’t know if Chartouney will ever really contribute against a quality Div I opponent. Hope he proves me wrong.

Yes we did, and played "Jump Around" while fifteen thousand people in blue and gold imitated Badger football fans and a couple thousand in red sat.

It was awesome.
Have some patience, FFS.

Jump Around sounds fantastic.  Perfect.  Streamers, not so much.

I just wish they'd let the students have open seating!

How would you get the big donors to donate if you did that?  They would be shut out.  It is fine the way it is, keep the students where they are at behind the baskets.

I don't know... The thought of sad Badger fans picking blue and gold confetti out of their hair all night makes me smile.

No buts here. Our offense was not nearly as good as we know it can be and we beat the supposed #12 team in the country. For the second week in a row. And to make it even sweeter, it was Bucky. Celebrations in SLP tonight.
I mean, OK, maybe he's secretly a serial killer who's pulled the wool over our eyes with his good deeds and smooth jumper - Pakuni (on Markus Howard)

AMEN. No buts allowed tonight. Great win. Ugly or not, great win. We just beat two top twelve teams in 7 days. Save the buts. Great fun tonight!!!!!!

Glad for the win, but yes, Markus was a problem and gets tunnel vision trying to get all the big baskets sometimes. If you fail to find positives in a loss or see the negatives in a win you'll never get better. Bucky is a solid team and I'll take it, but MH needs to play better.

This 1000X.  If it ticked off Bucky even better.  They claim it is our Super Bowl, so why not.  Wish I was there, but was represented well by family and friends.  Great job Warrior Nation
