Oso planning to go pro
You know the last time Marquette had consecutive seasons with a sub-.300 winning percentage?Never. Not once in 103 seasons. It has only happened in a single season 3 times, and not since 1963-64.I think I'll take our program going forward.
is at the least questionable
DePaul's collection of NC wins >>>> MU's collection of NC wins (I strongly doubt we'd be 9-0 with their schedule)
I mean people want to talk about trajectory. Maybe it's time to seriously look at their trajectory. Winning percentages:1. .2902. .2813. .5284. 1.000 (obviously won't last but let's pretend that ends somewhere around .650)Can we really say our program has done a better job rebuilding itself than even the lowly DePaul program?I'm more than happy to let the year play out, but if DePaul has a great year and we don't Wojo is going to start running out of all excuses (if he hasn't already).
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
DePaul's potential success is completely irrelevant to judge MU's rebuild. Hausergate bought Wojo a mulligan this year. And Garcia bought him two more (to see him as an upperclassman).
Right now Depaul's NET rating is 102, Marquette's is 28. I'll take the 28.
I think you're looking at last years numbers. NET not being updated yet.
+1 thank you for being objective
By every statistical measure, Marquette is a better program than DePaul so far this year. Way better. After today's games...Marquette #30 kenpomDePaul #51 kenpomMarquette #37 t-rank DePaul #71 t-rank
Whether our program is better than DePaul's moving forward is at the least questionable and that is a major problem.
His point still remains valid.. In case you missed it:
Yes, I will concede that. According to KenPom's algorithms DePaul is not ranked higher at this point in time. But the gap is not wide like many here would have you believe. Nor is the gap an assured reality as there is much to be spoken for during Big East play. Further, if the same argument was flipped for say - Butler or Xavier with MU being a mathematically inferior team, I would be told that "trajectory" is the best way to measure our program.Ergo, I'm pointing out a situation where trajectory can be flipped to the other side of the argument.
Ergo your point was stupid and only an idiot would trade Marquette’s program for DePaul’s program.Wait nevermind. The issue is Wojo hasn’t won in March. Been 7 years (since we know we aren’t better than Xavier or Butler so this year we just get 0 Tourney wins). DePaul’s been racking up those NCAA Tournament wins the last 7 years.
I don't care about the students rushing or not rushing. That has nothing to do with the fact that, this year, the basketball team is 9-0 with far more quality wins than our own. Even though we started ahead of them in 2014.Obviously let the year play out, but DePaul is currently putting together a better season than Marquette - fact.**Edit: Same amount of NCAA wins in that timeframe as well.
Racking them up at the same rate as MU. I didn't say I'm trading the program today. I'm just saying, given the trajectory they're showing, it's at least questionable.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Well..... I might rather have the DePaul program right now.
Yeah I'd love to have a program that's so bad the students rush the floor after a nonconference OT win over an unranked team. A program on its first 9 game win streak in nearly 30 years.Go away.
I'll take Marquette, no question.OP's point isn't any more ridiculous than looking for parallels between Wojo and Coach K or Jay Wright though.
