I don't think that's what he was saying. I think he was saying Virginia plays a boring style of basketball
After my last post about Markus, someone posted that I was inaccurate in saying that he took 18 shots. My statement was totally accurate -- look at the box score. 12 shots from the field and 6 from 3 point range. That totals 18. He said Markus was 4 of 6,not 2 of 4 free throws. Correct, I read it wrong. Immaterial.My point was that he had many chances to score and missed many more than usual. His bad night was a factor in the loss. It happens,

The original poster said the Hauser transferred to "better programs" and it was time to move on.His reply: You're half right, it's time to move on. Half right = half wrong, so wrong on the "better programs". Then he singled out UVA as (also) boring. Whatever.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Markus is an awesome talent...who has no idea how to play WITHIN an offense and is a defensive liability. The only game he knows is how to get himself open (either off the dribble or off a screen). Wojo is partly to blame b/c he designs his offense to get Markus the ball. IMO, we would be a MUCH better team if Markus looked to score within the flow of an offensive rather than that being our only offensive option. Even away from Markus, this style of play promotes too much one-on-one b/c when someone has the ball in somewhat a position to score, they try to score rather than find the best shot (open man) and make the right basketball play. Notice how our bigs never kick-out to the perimeter? It seems like the priority is to get Markus big numbers rather than play good basketball.
I don't agree with the rest of this post either, but this statement is the most incorrect. While no one is mistaking him for JFB, he has been a solid defender since his sophomore year.
Scoopers have long conflated Howard and Rowsey being a bad defensive backcourt with Howard continuing to be a bad individual defender. It's not true and has become less so every year.
Markus is the league leader in ole' defense. Watch him next game. Again, amazing offensive talent and a great one-on-one player, but not a complete player by any means. Best player isn't the one that scores the most.
OMGI know the board frowns on name calling but this warrants the exception...what an idiot!!
