It only gets worse for Bucky

[Nukem2]

Also a good recruiter... especially for his sysrem. A decent amount of good x-o coaches out there who cant recruit or have a  bad eye for their system.

Though, Gard and Close did most of that.  Bo was not on the road that much.

And Paris.  Losing him is going to be a blow to UW.

Hope Barry gives Gard 5 more years.

If Barry gives Gard 5 more years, it's because he's rebounded from a down year and has them back on track to be what they were under Bo. Gard won't last 5 more years like this.

Barry was forced to hire Gard, but he also gave Gard a raise and a new contract. To fire Gard now would be like Barry admitting he was wrong in giving Gard a long-term contract.

He has a buy out of $2.5 million after this year, decreasing by $500k each year.

Interesting how much grace many of our fans give to Wojo, yet think Gard with two Sweet 16 appearances should get fired after 1 bad season, that has been gutted with injuries.  We've yet to have a significant injury to ANY of our players under Wojo's tenure.  We just got blasted at home by Butler, down 30 points with 10 minutes left (in Year 4), and many don't feel the "seat" should even be at 1 degree Kelvin.

I see some improvement in Wojo as a coach, but he set a pretty low benchmark based on his coaching in Years 1 and 2.  Like the talent pipeline into the program, good kids, feel this year's team should be a SOLID NCAA caliber team, yet miss this year AND next year's team can't advance into round of 32 or 16?  Think ADMIN seriously needs to consider moving on.

Maybe you need to convene another beer summit to sort it out.

ners doesn't have beer summits.    Chicos has beer summits.    Floorslapper posts like ners.    ergo, no beer summit.

FroYo summit is the operative term with ners.

Bucky chokes up another one at Maryland.  They have lost 5 in a row and counting.

10-15 (3-10) is now solidly into the last four of the B1G so they can lose on day one of the B1G tourneys and have their season end in February (February 28). 

Not many Power 5 teams are done for the year in February.  Bucky could have that honor this year.

Through November 24 (UWM) Happ attempted four 3-pointers, missing all of them.  They were largely shot clock bailouts.

Then 16 straight games without an attempt.  But in Happ's last three games ...

Jan 29 Nebraska 1 -4 in three-pointers (only make of the year)
Feb 1 Northwestern 0 -0 in three-pointers
Feb 4 Maryland 0 -2 in three-pointers

Why is he chucking it all of sudden?  Does he not care anymore?  Is he bored?

Is he trying to show he has range in the last few games?  That way he can get a look from some pro-teams, or more interest as a grad transfer?

Or, even though he went 16 straight games without a single 3P attempt, and has 6 in the last three games (week), don't read too much into it?

[Afroman]

With the Badgers being so crappy, is it too much to ask for MU to be slightly above average?

So he had one game where he attempted 4 three pointers and since then has attempted 1 per game?  And I saw one of the attempts today, and it was a catch and shoot at the buzzer of the shot clock of a broken possession.  Not sure if the other was just choosing to do it in the middle of an offensive set or what, but I'm not sure 1 three point attempt per game following a game where he attempted more than his norm is "chucking it all of a sudden."

Marquette is slightly above average.

What’s the last year that no team from WI made the NCAA Tournament, 1998? Streak coming to an end.

Maybe Milwaukee or Green Bay get hot and win the Horizon Tourney.

Naw, it's a Fischer Price Hoop dunk contest summit for Ners

Bucky's worst loss in Kohl-Hole history was a 25 point spanking handed out by Ohio State earlier this season.

The second worst loss in Kohl-Hole history was a 19 point loss to Marquette a week later (December).

The third worst loss was a 17 point loss to Michigan State in 2000.

Today, at the half, Bucky is down 20 to Michigan, only scoring 22 in the first half.

Will Bucky get the Kohl-Hole trifecta?

Please, Barry, need five years to judge Gard ... bring him back!

Amidst MU's rough patch right now, this is keeping me semi happy.
I again want NCAA. But NIT for MU is better than no tourney at all for Bucky.

They have a bunch of recruits there today as well.A fine performance for them to see.

The first question a recruit will have after this game for Gard ... any idea who will be the coach here in October?

The rodents are a dumpster fire on a downward trend right now, but I don't see how he gets fired after one losing season following two tournament bids.  I'm guessing (and most certainly hoping) that they keep him around at least one more season.

Agreed, Lenny.

We Warriors are not in the best position to gloat about F%cky's fortunes ... though I do admit that I like seeing them and ND stumble about.

Ya can throw MU in da all gone machine too, aina?
