This team is very talented. It’s also very poorly coached. Wojo is a hack.

Why did I know someone would credit Nojo with great halftime adjustments. There’s no way he should be the one making adjustments to stage a huge comeback. His team was flat out of the gate. Yes, I’m tired of ripping the guy, but that doesn’t mean we should settle or accept it quietly either. He’s not a good coach. He’s a “C” coach who should have become a doctor.

OP may end up being accurate, but it's far to early to tell.  No one is getting fired from one performance in January.  Wojo will be re-evaluated, as he always is, at season end.

MU 64. Georgetown 60
What am I supposed to do with this? Georgetown sucks completely.

I didn’t think I’d ever see the day where MU won a game, on an 18 point comeback no less, and more people would be upset about it than happy about it.

The Vegas line is our program standard now? Just cuz Vegas is catching on that we kinda suck and are only a few points better than dumpster Gtown doesn’t mean we should be proud of that win. Or content.

 That was an embarrassment that Wojo somehow turned into a feather in his cap to the bumbling rubes on the BOT and Lovell.
Amen

This roster with a good coach is a Top 10-15 team team in the country and competing for the Big East title. Wins over Wisconsin and Creighton prove that. Losses to far inferior teams are on the coach.

Georgetown is a remarkably bad basketball team

Yes they are and it would have been a terrible loss, but MU actually won the game after being down big time in second half.  Yes, they won.  Don’t care if MU won by 25 or by 4. Just get the win and no one in three weeks will remember this game. 

Oh, and the team seemed pretty pumped up about the WIN, not how they played in the first half.

Wojo will probably parlay that hot mess into an extension. Yippee  ::)

The only thing more embarrassing than how unprepared we looked in the first half is MUScoop. Had all these sarcastic posts about how great it’ll be to see the excellent adjustments Wojo makes down 16 at half. Then come back and win by 4 and Wojo made no adjustments it’s just Pat Ewing sucks. Our first half can suck, GTown can suck, and we can have played really hard in the second half. We got a road win while playing terrible basketball for 30 minutes.

Classic scoopers. More fun to be upset and complain than enjoy the moment.

Sure.  But that would required boosters with enough money to buy out wojo and pay for the new head coach. Does MU have those boosters? Have you offered your money?

This is the problem. You somehow watched that game and came away impressed.

With the teams 2nd half effort?  Yes!

I get it, Wojo (or the team) loses this one and it's easy to call for his firing.  But wojo or not, the team won tonight.  A game they were supposed to win. If you're a Marquette fan you should be at least relived, maybe even happy at that comeback.

We played like absolute ass tonight, but as always, Wojo does just enough to not quite reach the tipping point of obviously needing to be fired.  This time, he benefited from Georgetown's complete and total incompetence.  Arkansas Pine-Bluff was worse than Georgetown, but in terms of high majors, the Hoyas are bottom of the barrel.

Against the team picked for dead last in conference and who’s well on their way to meeting that expectation. 

Also after a 9 day layoff to theoretically prepare and improve.

But don’t let any silly details get in the way of celebrating a great comeback.

Y'all, the first half wasn't the result of bad coaching. We got open looks,  we didn't make them. The defense wasn't great but it was passable. We adjusted at half time,  started going inside every possession,  clamped down on defense and won the game. Is it an impressive win?  unnatural carnal knowledge no. But it's hardly a condemnation of Wojo. Oklahoma state was a condemnation of Wojo. Villanova was a condemnation of Wojo. This was just a game.

Believe it or not,  not every bad performance is due to poor coaching. Unless you believe Wojo should be on the court taking the shots.

I didn’t think I’d ever see the 2,837th consecutive day without an NCAA tournament win but a significant portion of our fans are happy.

But hey we’re all being surprised.

Honest question did you watch the game?

The 17-2 run that lost Gtown the game was almost entirely Gtown incompetence. If you don’t agree you’re simply an apologist.

We get it, you’re either clueless, or such a fan and non objective, you’re unable to see this for what it is.

If you can take any team positives from this game, your name is either John Dodds or Michael Lovell.

No it's not. The roster is maybe the 30th to 50th best in the country. A great coach could probably get it to top 20 at most.
