Surprised to not see it posted yet, but Aaron Thompson (the best defender in the Big East per synergy) is out for tonight’s game with a wrist injury.

That's huge for Marquette.

Helps their offense. Hurts the defense a lot.

Christian David out, too, with a torn ACL. However, a wounded angry bulldog at home.

Baddley questionable with the flu. That’s not a big deal normally, but guard depth is now an issue with Thompson out. Baldwin has had a bad wrist too.
-

Thompson plays 33 minutes a game and leads team with 5 assists per game.
David was playing 14 minutes a game as second guy off the bench.
A lot of minutes with a very short bench.

If MU wins, the usual suspects will blame Butler injuries. If MU loses, the usual suspects will make it how MU couldn't win even with the all of the Butler injuries.

Tower
I think that is in accurate. Definitely gives a better chance to MU, but not slam dunk. Play smart ball and no one should bitch regardless of outcome. Lay an egg, different story.

Yes, don't dribble into double teams and be patient - unlike the Providence game.

That's huge for Marquette.
You been on a vacation lately, glasses?

Yes, yes I have been. From what I've seen, looks like it was pretty dead in here for the most part anyways.

My daughter officially got into Butler today....though we got the unofficial heads up a few weeks ago. Told her hopefully not bad karma for dad's alma mater.

Why Butler of all places?

Yes, not a lot of complaints from the oppressed of late.

If MU wins, the usual suspects will blame Butler injuries. If MU loses, the usual suspects will make it how MU couldn't win even with the all of the Butler injuries.
And conversely, the other usual suspects will excuse the loss and say "it's hard to win on the road" blah blah blah. Even though, they will have no Guard depth, and playing without the best defender in the BE.

It's funny, she has been accepted to DePaul, Butler, Seton Hall, Xavier.....a lot of Big East schools. They have film programs which is her interest. If she gets into UCLA, USC, LMU she is staying in Cali, but at least she has options.
-

Believe me, there's a lot to work on with this team. Tonight is a must win as it's being handed on a silver platter.

No Chapman Film School?

How did MU lose to this Wisconsin team
-
How did they beat this Purdue team? Home game, away game. Any chance they would move the tip up since this one will be done so early?
-
No Thompson and no David means two of the top candidates for defending Markus are out. I assume they will try Jordan Tucker most of the night. If he gets in foul trouble or worn down the only other real option is Kamar Baldwin. McDermott and Nze are too slow and Battle is promising but plays defense like a freshman. I think Baldwin's lack of height will give Markus an edge and if he gets into foul trouble or worn out defending Markus, I'm not sure the Bulldogs will be able to score enough.
Thompson is also the floor general. Baldwin can play point but does not create for others the way Thompson does. I'd expect Baldwin and McDermott to play near the entire game. One of Golden and Smits will be on the floor at all times and Battle will sub in for Nze and Tucker when they need breathers. I think this also takes away Butler's ability to go small and fast. They sometimes play with Nze at the 5 and I think they will need him covering the 4 so Tucker can cover the 3 with the lack of guard depth.
-
Very nice to turn on the TV and see the badgers getting trounced.

We didn’t lose to that team....’.we lost to the one that plays at the Kohl Center.

Lol you're already pre complaining about it.. I'm assuming with the injuries you're gonna expect win no matter what kind of game now. Should be a fun night
-

No, on your last question

Injuries have no impact on Guru’s expectations.

Morrow in the pregame feature on FS1. Awkward.

Spoken like a true Wojo worshipper. Or better yet, if MU wins ot was a fantastic coaching job by Wojo. If MU loses, Butler was inspired by their losses and the rest of the team stepped up.
-
No Chapman Film School?
Chapman is great.....she didn't get in. Only school to deny her. Which is likely why UCLA and USC will say no, but LMU is a possibility. Acceptance rates for some of these film programs are less than 10%. We shall see.

McDermott in starting lineup.

MU loses...Wojo's fault. MU wins...players did it. We get the script. Thanks Willie. Take a nap.

Koby really needs to stop with the airmailed passes

THE ANSWER

Koby my god

Koby is so damn frustrating at times.

THE ANSWER
Time to get McKewn pine tome.
-
Love that Theo didn’t get whistled for any fouls. Going to be an intense game.
-

They go a step further actually. Now that butler's 4th best guy is out a game on the road to a ranked team becomes an inexcusable loss. It's absolutely ludicrous. So if we win well cant give that much credit to the coaches or players because we "should have won" anyways. And if we lose we can all complain to no end because we should have won. Its ridiculous.
-
Cant be dribbling off your own leg Jayce with Markus curling for an open shot
-
Jesus Jayce.
2 on him already.
We are going to get destroyed down low
-
Jayce with a TO and 2 fouls in about a minute
-
Jesus Jayce.
2 on him already.
We are going to get destroyed down low
Optimistic, as usual.

Optimistic, as usual.
Its just logic. We already had Nzi with Cain on him and that was without foul trouble.
-
Bs call on JJ...every game.
-
5 TOs already.
-
Quit the unnatural carnal knowledgein entry passes into the post!
-
This is just terrible.
Awful basketball since the quick start
-
Tough crowd in here tonight. Hostile road environment. We threw a good punch out of the gate. Butler answered. Looks like it’s going to be a fun one.
-
Need to stop this run. We are doing a nice job getting to the basket. Won’t see Markus miss too many that open.
-
Sacar needs to keep attacking these guys
-
Symir still with a lot of room for improvement defensively.
-
I mean, getting open looks just ice cold right now.
-
At least the rebounding is exactly so far.
Other than that though..
-
Bailey needs to play better,or Cain has to come back in
-
Bailey needs to play better,or Cain has to come back in
We gonna need Bailey's length on D
-
One point in last five minutes. Eight missed shots, two turnovers.
-
#mubb out-shot 60.7% eFG% to 44.7% so far... but down just 3 points. 21-18, 7:26 left in the first half. OK.
-
Seemed pretty ticky tack there.
-
Sacar make your damn free throws good lord.
Killing them off the dribble but it wont matter if you dont cash in.
-
Make free throws Anin!!
-
#mubb out-shot 60.7% eFG% to 44.7% so far... but down just 3 points. 21-18, 7:26 left in the first half. OK.
Can’t complain about the looks we are getting.
-
uhhhh what was that D?
Leads to Baileys second foul
-
Great press
-
uhhhh what was that D?
Leads to Baileys second foul
1st foul.
-
uhhhh what was that D?
Leads to Baileys second foul
Nevermind hes only got 1
-
Can’t complain about the looks we are getting.
Really? Seems to me Butler’s defended quite well. Markus having to work really hard to get his shots off. Seeing him come up short on his misses...tired legs?
-
Second time that play has worked for a 3. First to Cain, there to Bailey.
-
Good play so far
-
That play they run for Bailey is such a thing of beauty. Remember they always used to run that for Sam too.
-
Second time that play has worked for a 3. First to Cain, there to Bailey.
Third, Markus got into the lane that time. Keep running it Woj.
-
Really need to find a way to have Bailey and Theo surive these last 3:30 wihtout getting #2
-
Markus will be fine in perio
2
-
Chico,
With respect to your daughter getting into Butler, congratulations are in order. I wish her all the best!
Curbina
-
Interesting seeing Koby on bench and us rolling with Bailey/Cain. Like seeing them play together.
-
Markus gotta make that
-
Howard is missing a ton of shots.
-

2 fouls but I have no issue with the Bailey and Cain combo. Lotta length.
-
That play has literally worked every single time.
-
Please stop leaving McDermott open
Bailey stroking a few is niiiiice tho
-
2 fouls but I have no issue with the Bailey and Cain combo. Lotta length.
It's our best lineup against these guys imo.
-
That play has literally worked every single time.
Yes. And good on Wojo for continuing to go with it.
-
I thought Theo had a pretty good half. Did a nice job staying out of foul trouble. Played good D.
-
Howard is missing a ton of shots.
45% and 42% shooting. He’s fine all things considered
-
Howard is missing a ton of shots.
Yeah, 5 for 12 and 18 points and 4 assists. Bench him.
-
45% and 42% shooting. He’s fine all things considered
Markus getting some friendly calls on drives for a change.
-
Up 4 at the half is something to be satisfied with.
Rebounding is phenomenal besides the one put back late.
Open shots falling more, keep it up half two.
Cut down the TO's.
Keep up with lots of Cain and Bailey togehter.
-
Good half. Like the Markus-Jamal-Brendan-Sacar-Theo lineup. Please stick with this lineup. No more Koby.
-
Someone on their board just said lavall got Td up going into the half

I'm not surprised.
Markus getting a little star treatment IMHO

I'm not surprised.
Markus getting a little star treatment IMHO
How?
That guy was clearly in the restricted zone
-
Will be a really tough one to bring home in this environment but really pleased that they made it a game. Had a feeling this one was going to be basically over at the half especially with them desperate to break the losing streak.
-

I'm not referring to that one.
A few others were pretty weak.
-
I'm not surprised.
Markus getting a little star treatment IMHO
He’s a POY candidate who gets abused every game. Bout time he gets some calls
-
Markus doing markus things, Sacar holding Baldwin in check. Game will come down to keeping him in check. Keep up the good work Sacar.
-
He’s a POY candidate who gets abused every game. Bout time he gets some calls
Totally agree.
-
From the way things were going in the middle of the half, being up is a nice win. Markus missed some shots he usually makes.
Need to close out on McDermott better.
-
Chapman is great.....she didn't get in. Only school to deny her. Which is likely why UCLA and USC will say no, but LMU is a possibility. Acceptance rates for some of these film programs are less than 10%. We shall see.
Chapman is heavy on the math. My daughter got into to the film school but she was sports management as it is in the film school. She passed on attending.
-

Wait, whaaaat????
-
Starting the half with FTs?
-
Lavin and especially Marshall not so subtle in inferring Markus is selfish. I feel like their take is a microcosm of people’s feelings about him... you either love him and appreciate his greatness or you admire his scoring but are frustrated with his ultra green light. I thought Lavin’s comment about NCAA championship teams rarely having a score first PG was interesting
-
Starting the half with FTs?
Appears so
-
86% is typically nothing to sneeze at
But Markus missing free throws this year is just strange
-
Sit Koby. Bring in Cain.
Shooting like that is simply selfish basketball
-
Seriously Wojo. He sucks
-
Getting absolute thrashed in the paint and not rebounding right now
-
Bad attempt baily.
-
Theo needs to stop hunting for blocks.
-
Officials seem to be hell bent on finding a reason to call a T against us. Need to be extra careful.
-
Bailey has to be smart enough to not pick up a foul there.
-
We cannot be having a concussed Markus
-
Nice payback for Baldwin’s T. 2 nothing’s called as fouls.
-
Jesus get those chairs away from the baseline. Hopefully not a concussion
-
Not sure how he wrecks himself if he didn’t get hit there
-
Want to see that again. Looked like a push.
-
If Theo were half as good on offense as he is on D he would be somethin.
-
Theo has been outstanding.
-
Theo has been outstanding.
Absolutely.
-
Playing so erratically on offense. Take some time.
-
I've never heard so much booing in my life than at this stadium
-
My god is kobe been bad on offense. Silly turnovers
-
Seriously enough McEwen its fu cking insulting right now.
9 pt lead with Baldwin/McDermott/Golden on bench. We are -3 and their ball.
-
MU has played a great game but really out of control right now.
-
I've never heard so much booing in my life than at this stadium
And the officials are listening to it and changing the way they make calls, or making make up calls.
-
My goodness. Six point lead for like forever. Just cannot make a basket to extend the lead when Butler missing everything.
Koby having a very rough game tonight.
-
Symir, too.
-
Koby is going to get called for palming the ball at any moment. His dribble is incredibly awkward. He needs a rest tonight.
-
Koby is pressing. Trying too hard. Wants to player better so badly it’s working against him. Just needs to slow down. Might be best to roll without him rest of this game.

Agreed aside from the fact we'll need more minutes from him.
-
Koby has 8 rebounds
-

Should only be out there if Bailey gets #4.
-
No comment on those two previous misses.
-
This is on Wojo.
Koby killed all momentum.
Need Markus now
-
My lord koby my lord..
-
lol nice D Koby
-
Wow. Terrible call. Refs unnatural carnal knowledgeing us right now.
-
What a horrible call.
-
BRUTAL CALL
-
lol nice D Koby
Did Koby kick your dog or something?? My god, all you do is rip the kid in every single game thread.
-
Nice job, MH
-
Did Koby kick your dog or something?? My god, all you do is rip the kid in every single game thread.
Because hes been awful.
Calling it how I see it.
-
Sacar
-
And the officials are listening to it and changing the way they make calls, or making make up calls.
It's literally a constant droning of boos.
-
It's literally a constant droning of boos.
Yeah a hell of a lotta booze as well I'm sure

Am here, can confirm. God forbid they call the game even

You were saying the same things in the Georgetown game thread too and he was pretty damn good then.
-
You were saying the same things in the Georgetown game thread too and he was pretty damn good then.
No he had a couple brutal possessions when we lost the 7 pt lead late
-
No travel?
-
A Markus 3 to put us up 9 would be really nice right now.
-
Let's bring this home, boys.
-
Under 4 boys.
Sacar and Bailey making big plays.
-
This has been an ugly game.. By koby, Howard... Marquette in general, butler, and the refs. Holy slop
-
A Markus 3 to put us up 9 would be really nice right now.
They are selling out on him outside the perimeter, need to counter with ball movement cause guys are open
-
Koby has 8 rebounds
And primarily holding Baldwin down. People need to watch both ends.
-
Butler looks discouraged. Can’t stop us on offense and they are having all kinds of problems scoring on us.
-
And primarily holding Baldwin down. People need to watch both ends.
Yep.
-
Like how we are holding and building the lead
-
And primarily holding Baldwin down. People need to watch both ends.
Weve held Baldwin down with Cain and Bailey in too tho. So today the D isnt as huge.
It's about to be Koby time tho. GOnna need his free throw shooting if we hold this lead the next couple mins
-
Dammit what a play but Baldwin blocked it.
-
And primarily holding Baldwin down. People need to watch both ends.
Scoop cares about 2 stats. Points and blocks. Anything else no matta
-
Dammit we needed that rebound.
-
Scoop cares about 2 stats. Points and blocks. Anything else no matta
Tend to think most scoopers have valued MU's rebounding a lot this year.
-
Can not pull away. Every time we get it to 6 they immediately respond. Good game though
-
We let Baldwin stop and pop too quickly that last possesion.
9 seconds to get a good shot here.
-
And primarily holding Baldwin down. People need to watch both ends.
Hasn’t Sacar primarily been defending Baldwin?
-
Howard needs to make good decisions
-
Why have we gone away from having Bailey set the screen in the PnR?????
-
That was not ideal.
Need to get a stop and a rebound.
-
Well I'm nervous.
-
This is death.
Please hold on
-
Just awful Markus.
Baldwin murdering us.
-
Ugh what a collapse. Need a basket now or it's over.
-
Yeah theres two ends for Koby lol
-
Absolutely terrible ball handling by Howard
-
Ugh what a collapse. Need a basket now or it's over.
No...but a hoop would be nice.
-
Just once I'd like Markus to see the roller to the basket
-
I HATE these situations, because Butler will get last possession regardless. C'mon boys...please..get a hoop here, that's all I ask.
-
baldwin pushes off every damn time
-
Those were tough shots Baldwin hit. Damn.
-
I HATE these situations, because Butler will get last possession regardless. C'mon boys...please..get a hoop here, that's all I ask.
Could go for a 2 for 1 here.
-
Pick n roll with Markus and Bailey with Sacar in the corner.
-
What is Bailey doing?
-
Terrible decision
-
Fouled them when were tied?????????
-
uhhhhhh
-
Wow. Wojo called for that.
-
OMG
just idiotic
-
Wtf is that foul...
-
What is with Bailey, he think MU up? What the heck was that
-
Hmmmm, big brain play. Marquette has a better chance hitting a 3 instead of defending a last shot?
-
I’ve seen this movie before
-
Howard lost this game tonight
-
WTF are they doing. first the foul then a 30 footer with 10 seconds left?
-
Absolutely pathetic Markus
Dude forces every big shot.
There was fu cking 10 seconds left down 1
-
WTF Markus
-
Down 1.... Shoot a contested 3 pointer.
Nice.
Now hes going to drill this one for ot.
-
Not good.
-
What a collapse. Nice job butler
-
Classic collapse
-
What a disappointing way to end the game. Up 6 the entire half until the last few minutes. Huge swing if they lose. This is a big game.
-
Wojo and Markus choked.
-
Total pee down the paint leg. Wojo sucks
-
What the unnatural carnal knowledge was Bailey doing on that foul...that one is going to haunt MU the rest of the season. Just absolutely ridiculous.
-
I bet they foul
-
So frustrating, to play such good team offense then revert to trying to go one of five one player at a time in the last 2 1/2 minutes.
-
Typical MU down the stretch
-
Absolutely pathetic
-
I want the last two hours of my life back.
-
Wow.
-
No unnatural carnal knowledgeing way.
-
Koby!!!
-
Holy unnatural carnal knowledge!!!
-
Well...Ill give KOby his due there
unreal
-
What is with Bailey, he think MU up? What the heck was that
Wojo was slapping his wrist on sideline which looks like foul signal..
-
Omg!!!!
-
HUGE BALLS
-
Well, I called it for the wrong guy :P
-
Marcus better not be dribbling in overtime
-
KOBY!!!
-
I give wojo huge credit for having koby take that shot.
-
They just let McEwen shoot that one. Didn't even try to contest.
-
Still a chance here in OT. Do it boys!
-
Also that clock clearly didnt start on time
-
Well...Ill give KOby his due there
unreal
You'll probably be ripping on him with 4:45 left in OT.
-
Against all odds. Koby from 29’!
-
Legit did not know how to react after that. Shocking. Wow, great shot. PG where you at? Haha.
-
So Koby misses three layups and then that. Unreal. That’s why you foul, see Providence.
Still don’t get the Bailey foul. Did staff tell him?......
Markus makeup time now.
-
They should have fouled lol
-
Also that clock clearly didnt start on time
That clock didn’t start until Baldwin was over the time line. Shameful.
-
Markus is tired. Shots shot so time to use him as decoy
-
You'll probably be ripping on him with 4:45 left in OT.
Nope I call it how I see it.
-
That clock didn’t start until Baldwin was over the time line. Shameful.
Was wondering about that.
-
We cannot stop Baldwin
-
Butler faithful creating their own lyrics lol
-
Howard, please defer. The last 8 minutes have looked like the Seton hall BET game.
-
Refs are a joke. Baldwin sticks his forearm out on every drive and he's drawing the foul.
-
LOL foul on us.
-
Good howard screen. To bad bailey couldn't hit.
-
Terrible defense on Baldwin they're letting him rest Roblin and out there put pressure on him
-
Markus really disappears a lot in crunch time.
-
How they call a foul during that pile up. rofl
-
Markus really disappears a lot in crunch time.
Gtown was the closest hes ever come to a game winner with his tie breaker with a minute or so left.
-
This is ridiculous.
-
Koby needs some new shoes.
-
Tip your hat to Baldwin. He has been unstoppable in last 6 minutes.
-
Bailey a couple dumb fouls tonight with touch fouls that turned into three pointers.
-
Markus really disappears a lot in crunch time.
Defenses are selling out on him.
-
I don't get it...they shut him down the entire 1st half...this would be a great time to try a possession of zone
-
They just called a foul on a player that was lying on the ground. Because the offensive player jumped forward and landed on him. Absurd.
-
Markus really disappears a lot in crunch time.
Think that’s a function of having dead legs. He works SO hard all game getting his shot off, on D. It adds up.
-
Markus really disappears a lot in crunch time.
Lots and lots of points. Not very many big ones though, I’m afraid.
-
Howard might as well shoot from half court
-
Thats a wrap I think.
Markus cant hit crap
-
Grab the ball.
-
WOJO STOP LETTING HIM SHOOT THAT SHOT
-
Baldwin the much better player tonight.
-
Lots and lots of points. Not very many big ones though, I’m afraid.
So stupid.
-
Think that’s a function of having dead legs. He works SO hard all game getting his crap off, on D. It adds up.
Rowsey worked just as hard and did not have these issues.
-
PATHETIC. Just awful Theo.
Tied the game Providence style but promptly folded
-
Apparently there's absolutely no defense for this guy,nba scouts looking at him,while Marcus keeps chucking
-
How many high ball screens do we need to see before we adjust and switch or go high on them to stay on Baldwin? Maybe make an adjustment?
-
PATHETIC. Just awful Theo.
Tied the game Providence style but promptly folded
We're not in the game of not for Theo, you whiny turd.
-
Rowsey worked just as hard and did not have these issues.
You clearly never watched Rowsey play D...
-
Pathetic - next coach please
-
How many high ball screens do we need to see before we adjust and switch or go high on them to stay on Baldwin? Maybe make an adjustment?
adjustments??? With Wojo?
-
This one hurts...I'm absolutely FURIOUS they never pulled this out. Lead most of the 2nd half. Ununnatural carnal knowledgeingbelieveable choke job. Markus hasn't been the same since he hit his head.
-
Love the "lead all game and lose in the final minute" games.. absolutely brutal. They really pissed it away. Wont hurt the season much but the way they lost this one was just pathetic. Fu*k..
-
Markus 8 for 24, 4 for 15 threes.
Baldwin Stud of Game. Impressive to say the least, he has 30 and had two in first half. Plus covered Markus, one of best against MU in sometime.
-
Rowsey worked just as hard and did not have these issues.
Selective memory
-
MU has the remarkable ability to do exactly what their opponent needs them to do. Markus was too soft with the ball in regulation. They should be celebrating a big win.
-
Baldwin the much better player tonight.
One is 8-24, the other is 9-24. The difference is when they made their big plays.
-
There's no denying but this has been a horrendous coaching job down the stretch
-
How many high ball screens do we need to see before we adjust and switch or go high on them to stay on Baldwin? Maybe make an adjustment?
They should have adjusted and forced him to go left...perhaps staff wasn’t aware of his penchant to go right as a lefty?
-
Ole zero adjustment wojo at work tonight
-
I love Marcus. I really do. Such a special talent. But tonight, he cost us the game down the stretch.
-
Several of you were gone for a few minutes. I see you’re back now.
-
Markus 8 for 24, 4 for 15 threes.
Baldwin Stud of Game. Impressive to say the least, he has 30 and had two in first half. Plus covered Markus, one of best against MU in sometime.
Baldwin is going to get too much credit tonight. MU never threw anything different at him the entire second half.
-
Markus played hero ball tonight and made one questionable decision after another down the stretch. The more poised star player won the game for his team tonight. The last two minutes of regulation were brutal. Marquette squandered a golden opportunity for a resume building road win. What a shame.
-
Lmaoooo what an awful coaching job.
-
We're not in the game of not for Theo, you whiny turd.
Uhh i didnt say theo lost us the game dumb ass
-
When Marcus hit his head .. he was off for the rest of the game.
-
20% from 3 for MH.
Thanks, dude!
-
Grab the ball.
Hmmm whiny
-
Uhh i didnt say theo lost us the game dumb ass
You're such a massive, whiny b*tch. You suck.
-
Pick n roll with Bailey was great earlier in the game then nowhere to be found. Let Baldwin get to his spot EVERY time. F job from Wojo at the end
-
Howard really needs to know when to defer. Holy crap.
-
Hmmm whiny
You are literally too stupid to insult.
-
How many high ball screens do we need to see before we adjust and switch or go high on them to stay on Baldwin? Maybe make an adjustment?
Wojo doesn't know what to do. That's why it happens over and over and over.
-
When Marcus hit his head .. he was off for the rest of the game.
This. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear later he has a concussion.
-
Theo sat back on the pick and rolls and Baldwin hit shot after shot. He needed to step up and close that out.
-
One is 8-24, the other is 9-24. The difference is when they made their big plays.
No, the difference is one made 4 shots that counted for 3 points instead of two.. the other (Baldwin) made zero.
Learn basic sh1t.
-
Howard made 2 shots in the last 9:52 of regulation, and nothing in ot
-
Ole zero adjustment wojo at work tonight
Look who comes back. ::)
-
You're such a massive, whiny b*tch. You suck.
Yet here you are whining

He'll never change
-

Yep, after injury.
-
You are literally too stupid to insult.
Nice 1st grade deflection.
-
Markus forcing shots didn't help - but the reason for this loss falls squarely on the coaching staff's willingness to let Butler's best player get his best shot possession after possession in the second half.
-
Ummmm hang on a minute
-
Nice 1st grade deflection.
#irony
-
What the actual F!! Are you kidding Koby, Koby, Sacar!
-
Imagine if we didn’t force Markus 28 footers the previous 5 minutes
-
in b4 markus 40 footer
-
Jeez good heart
and it ends on a biffed lay up
-
Ummmm hang on a minute
Nevermind
-
Markus really disappears a lot in crunch time.
Unfortunately, he does not disappear in crunch time.
Wonder how Anim will enjoy seeing film of that “screen” Markus gave him?
-
Jeeeeeeeesus howard
-
If Markus takes a seat with 4 minutes left in regulation we win this game. I love the kid, but this is why sam hauser transferred, he needed to be reigned in late in this game
-
They should have adjusted and forced him to go left...perhaps staff wasn’t aware of his penchant to go right as a lefty?
How about just doubling him and forcing him to give up the ball?
-

Right. Close him out and live with the results.

You're 100% correct. Shades of that loss at Nova that blew the locker room up. And the Seton Hall BET game that vaporized it.
-

this dude ain't wrong. Very reminiscent of the Seton Hall BET game.
-
Great job making adjustments Wojo...NOT. This is on him...what would a Wojo season be without one of these gut wrenching, head scratcher choke jobs?? So f'n pissed
-
We had a higher eFG%. Butler outscored us by 16 from the FT line. eFG% no matter.
-
Great effort by the team. Koby wanted it tonight, no doubt. Markus went completely cold in the 2nd half and that's what cost us. Baldwin got hot, oh well. But Markus has to be better with shot selection.

Yet, made every big shot in the close game at Georgetown.

Donny Marshall really kind of calling Markus our at the half and again postgame. Markus last made shot was at 15 minute mark of reg..meaning he’d didn’t have a make for last 20 minutes of game with OT added.
Live or die with Markus. Love the kid though. Got tat take the occasional bad with all the good.

Have a smoke. It's all good. ;)
-
People trying to put blame on the only ball player we have on offense. There is garbage for offensive options outside of markus! Its uwm’s roster plus howard.
-
Baldwin was lights out. Markus wasn't the same after taking a tumble. Tip your cap and get em back in Milwaukee.

I don't think benching him would solve it but using him as decoy for sure. Ill advised shots at the end

You're extremely stupid.

Don't remember MU showing on a single high screen for Baldwin down the stretch. With his penchant for the midrange game, that's just asking for him to murder you.
-

Lavall’s T worked. They were in the double bonus with plenty of time left in the game, Butler ended with 7 second half fouls.
Also, shout out to the trash floor at Hinkle, looked like an ice rink the last 5 min plus OT
-

Here is where I disagree--Markus insisted on playing 1-on-5 for the last few minutes of the game. It is one thing to simply have an off shooting game--then we take the bad with the good. But when he dominates the ball, refuses to pass, turns it over, and fires up a 26-footer the second he touches the ball after Koby/Sacar bring it up...that's just bad basketball.

Tell that to a Pro Wojo and they will get you banned for 2 weeks....lol
It's a shame that Markus has such poor discipline. He's not going to make the NBA because of it. He's a liability and shouldn't be as a senior. Wojo should have coached that out of him last year.
-
The leash that Wojo gives Howard is ridiculous. It was the same way he handled Henry Ellenson. He doesn’t coach he just lets the star player run wild. Meanwhile all the other players don’t develop. Some here assume Howard is our only talent capable of scoring. How can you think that when they are not given the freedom to participate in the offense since Howard has the ultimate green light despite being ice cold. If he was hampered by hitting the chair, put him on the bench. Howard seems like a great guy, but damn, this is on Wojo. I like Wojo but not as a coach. Relying on your star player to get you wins as opposed to coaching the team is not coaching. Players have regressed and lost confidence under his watch and that’s on Wojo.

True. I do agree. I’ve just come to peace with it - as this is the bed Wojo made by giving him the ultimate green light. However it is also the reason why I’ve posted I wouldn’t want to play with him..probably why the Hausers left too.
Catch 22 though because Markus does make a fair amount of those step back 25’ shots so..what do you do?
I do think he’s fatiguing at end of games. Shooting 20+ times per game, plus running off screens baseline, plus defending while being undersized? Thats a lot to ask. Guessing his shooting percentage for season is lower in 2nd half.

When my daughter played there last year there was standing water on the floor at the ends. I’ve never seen anything like it. They had huge fans blowing to try to keep the court dry. Fortunately the VB court is a lot smaller and the really wet areas were not in play.

Very well said. Think this summarizes Wojo’s tenure to a “t.” Hopefully he figures it out and improves.

We are in year 6..... year 21 total. You don't think he saw Coach K deal with players like this at Duke in his 15 years? C'mon.

What...another endorsement of Hausergate.

If anybody has a tape, please post video of the pick Howard pretended to set for Sacar late in OT. After Howard let the defender breeze by, Sacar had to alter his shot to avoid the defender (May have even gotten a piece) and his shot rimmed out. Even a marginal pick rather than blowing him a kiss would’ve resulted in a basket for Sacar.
