Kolek planning to go pro
Wojo is not getting fired this week.But he has 365 days to win an NCAA game, or he's 100% fired.So there's that.
He should have stopped doubling much, much earlier. The roll guy killed us. And so many shots early in the shot clock. That’s coaching. Bailey’s missed 3 at end of 1st half with no shot clock was a 6 point swing. All we heard when Wojo was hired was about basketball players and brains. Well we continue to make some very dumb decisions.
100% fired? Not so sure about that.
You're kidding, right? On paper, next year's team has even more talent than this year's. Markus might repeat as BE POY. Hauser 1st team BE. Heck, maybe Joey 2nd team. If MU is one and done again March 21, 2020? He should be fired in the locker room.
Not debating whether or not he deserves to be fired, whether or not MU would actually fire him.
Final 4 next year
Bailey played great. Wojo needs to find some footing, fast.
1. With my last name, I am in a 'Murray' state of mind all of the time.2. Ja is going to be a lottery pick. Akinjo, McClung, Powell, Ponds, Booth. Of course Morant is going to be exponentially better and do exponentially more damage. Triple Double. 3. Murray State all channeled Jean Felix. Remember how the talk was they weren't a great 3 pt shooting team? MU's plan was to go Jordan Rules on Morant and force him to give up the ball. Well, it worked. Except Murray State made it rain. 4. Speed kills. I said after the very first game of the year that Sam and Joey both looked slow. It never really got better. I hope both are able to work on their quickness in the offseason. If I had to choose between two teams of equal skill, one of which is a couple of inches taller at every position but not particularly fast, or a team that is a couple of inches short at every position but is really quick, I will take the quick team every single time. Murray State was faster at every position. Somebody on one of the boards asked about a 6'5 guy guarding Sam. The 6'5 guy was quicker. End of discussion. 5. It was already over, but Morrow getting blocked by the rim on the dunk attempt was just the sprinkles on the cupcake. 6. I actually thought Bailey worked his ass off against Morant. 7. It would have been nice if Markus heated up, but that ship sailed 3 weeks ago. He kept MU in the game until he picked up his second foul. 8. Everybody is beating up on Wojo, as is the norm after every loss. But from a cursory reading, nobody has actually made a reasonable case for changes that could have been made. Anim and Bailey worked hard. They were hedging on the screens to take away the drive. They turned him a few times. But his passing was simply too good. And then Murray State was making the second pass. And again, it all goes back to speed. 9. I made predictions before exactly two games this season. The Indiana game and the Murray State game. Both times, I predicted a double digit loss. IU, because they appeared quicker at every position and the game was at Assembly Hall. Murray State, because MU had so many problems late defending alpha guards who weren't as good as Ja. 10. There is no way Wojo gets fired. Everybody suggesting it is just venting. Understandably.
10) Wojo is not getting fired. I think most agree but not for the same reasons.The real question, is it the right decision and if it is how many more years do we ride this horse? A number of Scoopers have said respect the process and the process takes five years to judge a coach. Now five years are up. So is the MU administration satisfied with the results or do we just keep on going? I see no accountability in the MU program and I expect that to continue.
