I have to say that overall I am impressed with the play and outcome of the season to date. For the first time in the Wojo era, it seems that guys know how to win. It is a combination of things, but I believe the Hauser’s are a very big reason for the toughness. Those two are very good players, high ball IQ and know how to win. They have won their whole lives and I think that carries over to create a winning culture.
The defense isn't good enough. No shutouts yet.
I'm pretty sure you are the type that even when they lose you are satisfied...I mean you always talk about how good your life is etc etc etc yadda yadda yadda.
You are 100% correct...it is obvious that just watching this team, they have that winning mentality that was lacking in years past. I also believe that you are correct that the Hauser's have a lot to do with that. They DO NOT like to lose(I have that same mentality ). I would go to war with those two anytime. Losing should NEVER be accepted or to be "ok" for anyone...anyone that has ever competed in anything should know that, and feel that way.
Ya. Past teams definitely didn't want to win
Yep, I'm one of those jerks who has a good life and doesn't contemplate ending it just because a basketball team loses a game, yada yada yada.I'd be much better off if I based my entire worth as a human being around the ability of a bunch of 20-year-olds to reach the Final Four. That would mean I'm a "real" fan.
I’m bored and was curious myself so this how MU has done in the first 4 minutes of the second half in each game (minus the UMBC game because it wasn’t on ESPN play by play for some reason).MU score is on the left. Not bad overall imo.

I will ask you a question...have you ever competed for anything in your life?? Whether it be, playing in a sporting event in HS , college?? Compete for a job in your adult life?? Have friends/people you know that are Badger fans, or fans of other teams that hate MU and every time MU wins you feel like you just shoved it up their ass??
Cripes...I cannot post a thing about this team(unless it's all rosey even during losses) without getting ripped to shreds. I am happy with where they are right now, just wish they could clean up some things...but I know, losses are okay and good too, right?? I will try to be in a great mood after they lose now like most of you are, and see what it's like to live in that world...after all, some of you claim not taking it so seriously is the key to life, right??
You hit my point perfectly..which is..start the 2nd half better, step on their throats, and their wouldn't be a need for "clutch time". Bottom line is to win..and they have, but man oh man, they sure don't like to make it easy on themselves do they? They aren't going to be able to depend on making all the big plays down the stretch when they need to all of the time. The law of averages says at some point you aren't going to make those plays so don't put yourself in that position where you have to so often you increase your odds that way.
Posts like this are why you're not taken seriously.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
The declaring that one or two players want to win, suggesting that others don't or didn't, I'm never comfortable with that.
I wish you would spend more time worrying about losses then blasting me every single time I post something semi negative. Maybe focus more attention on that then me...that might help. You're okay with everything, win...lose, it's all good, right?? You do you man...you do you.

Next time we lose, you should
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
