So if we filter that through your lose by 3 to Georgia Tech predication, we are going to beat Baylor by 20+ and UW by at least 24
The Wojo stain will be extremely hard to rub off of this program. Shaka has taken steps in the right direction with a tourney bid Year 1 and a competitive team that looks to at least be on the bubble Year 2, but there is little to no patience with the average fan. We were told "just wait" for almost a decade while mediocrity reigned supreme; no one is interested in "just waiting" anymore. We need a ranked team. We need to be relevant in Maui next year. We need to win some tournament games.
Why will the "Wojo stain be extremely hard to rub off this program?"Iowa State went from being 0-18 in the Big 12 Prohm's last year to the Sweet Sixteen Otzelberger's first year.Texas Tech went from being 3-15 in the Big 12 Tubby's second last year to finishing 2nd in the Big 12 Chris Beard's second year.Alabama went from being 9th in the SEC each of Avery Johnson's last 2 season to winning the SEC in Nate Oats's second year.LSU went from being 2-16 in Johnny Jones's last year to winning the SEC in Will Wade's second year.Oklahoma State went from being 3-15 in Travis Ford's last year to being a Tourney team in Brad Underwood's one season there.TCU was horrendous for years and a Tournament team year 2 under Jamie Dixon.Steve Alford was bad by UCLA standards and Mick Cronin finished 2nd in the Pac 12 his first year.Nevada was horrible under David Carter and Muss turned them around overnight.With NIL and immediate eligibility for transfers, it's never been easier to turn a program around quickly. Good coaches can coach.
I agree with the sentiment for sure. However, including Will Wade definitely tarnishes the point on the "coach" part. $$$$$$$$ turned LSU around.
Have any of them gone the last 10 seasons without a tournament win?Maybe not the best, but arguably the most exciting team we've had the past 10 seasons was eliminated in the NIT Semifinal.
That has nothing to do with what Wades said. Absolutely zero.
Except it does. He's talking about getting rid of the Wojo stain. The stain has done noticeable damage to the fanbase. The last 10 years have been not fun. Some of our most exciting basketball during the Wojo era was an NIT run.
That says more about the MU fanbase than it does the program.
I don't like either of these matchups for Marquette this week and for a team that has struggled to close against good teams, I expect similar results in both games this week. Baylor by 10+UW by 2 possessions
Will MU ever win a game again?
Yes. They will go 16 and 15. If I could swap preseason picks I'd change UW to an L and Notre Dame to a W.
You havent liked a match up all season
Pretty sure he’s said we’re going to lose every game
King of the MOPES. Woe is me. My alma mater's basketball team is not meeting my expectations. And my self worth is tied up in the performance of young student athletes I don't know. It is MU's obligation to perform like I want them to and therefore validate and enhance my sense if self worth. And anybody who says differently isn't a real fan.
