Oso planning to go pro
So far, the guy you've hitched your horse to through and through has produced arguably the worst results at MU since Bob Dukiet.
This. Overall Brendan is a far better and player, but he has had the occasional non-factor game, and when that's happened Cain has gotten every opportunity to step in and perform. It's not like this is the first time Cain's gotten significant run. It's just one of the rare occasions he's done more than rebound the basketball in those minutes.Good guy. Glad he stuck around. Rebounds well. But beyond that he doesn't do anything significant beyond hitting the warmup open jumper. The one thing he does well enough to warrant playing time (rebound) is something that we are already good at even with Wojo's mind games pinning him to the bench (very, very good rebounding team).
LOL. In limited minutes and sample size,Except Cain outperforms Brendan in virtually every measurable category. What a dick thing to say: Cain does nothing "significant beyond hitting the warmup open jumper."Brendan has greatly improved over last seasons mostly forgettable year. I like what he brings. As I've posted, I'd like to see more of him and Cain together. Rebounding and defense would be really strong, and with both of their shooting ability, we could space the floor quite well.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
You really are a tool Wades. Truly. You are a volleyball guy, who ironically acts as if you have superior basketball knowledge to anyone else on this board. At least I'm not so dumb to wade into a volleyball message board and act like a know it all.This is a board where people share opinions and debate things. All you do? Defend every single thing Wojo does from recruiting, to playing time, to in-game coaching. In your ignorant view - Wojo can do no wrong, has done now wrong, and has been beyond reproach.At least I can compliment Wojo where I see fit. You? 99.5% of your posts are all ProJo. You used to support the Hausers and start topics begging for Markus to share the ball - once they transferred out they were vanilla soft serve, "who," weak, selfish, cry babies, etc.When we aren't involved with a recruit it would seem we should be, or we don't close the deal with a recruit we were actively pursusing - its always because we weren't willing to "pay," or be shady, etc.You give apologist a new definition entirely. So far, the guy you've hitched your horse to through and through has produced arguably the worst results at MU since Bob Dukiet. Can't even win an NCAA game or advance to semis of Big East any of the last three years with the program's all-time leading scorer that Stan landed. Hopefully this will be the year we breakthrough, but if we don't, I know we can count on one thing: You will absolutely tell us all that NCAA is a crapshoot, refs were terrible, we got a bad draw, location, etc. If we win a couple of games: You will pop off suggesting Wojo is making MU Duke north - yet 1 year does not make a pattern, trend, etc.

Sample size matters in these things. Also, the categories Cain beats Bailey in he has a slim lead in most of them (other than FTR) but gets destroyed in TO%. That's going to undo a lot of positives. Quickest way to lose playing time with any coach, not just Wojo, is TOs and defensive lapses. Unfortunately, those are Cain's Achilles' heel.
Cain rarely has defensive lapses, he's a very good on-ball defender, and help-side defender. Do yourself a favor - isolate watching Cain and Bailey on D, and come back and let me know if you think Brendan is better? IMO, they are both in our Top 4 defenders.As for "sample size," hard to have a bigger sample size with 20% less PT. Also, I'd argue 6% eFG% is a big difference, the FT Rate differential is significant.Further, any one who has played the game will tell you it is harder to produce if you are frequently relegated to 2-4 minute stints of PT. I understand some think every player should come in guns ablaze and post great numbers right off the bench...but..it doesn't work like that.Lastly, to reiterate - This is NOT a dis of Brendan - I'd just like to see a lot more of them playing together/Cain's PT approach 25 minutes on a consistent basis.Cain's PT is like a Yo-Yo. Since beginning of conference play in minutes: 17, 10, 9, 9, 19, 8, 21, 21, 29, 13, 10, 22. Brendan has had just 1 game under 10 minutes all year. Since conference play began his low water minutes marks have been 18 and 19 - the rest are virtually all 30+.
Gets triggered when I mock this argument. Then goes and makes the argument an hour later. Hysterical.
There is no "triggered" Wades. You miss the mark 9 times out of 10 with your basketball analysis. To be expected for a volleyball guy. I'd be insulted if a guy like you actually agreed with my perspective. Truly.
Hypothesis: Wojo sucks because he isn't playing Cain enough.Evidence: Playing time by game of 17-10-9-9-19-8-21-21-29-13-10-22Analysis: First 6 games - 72 minutes (12 mpg)Last 6 games - 116 minutes (19.3 mpg)Yep. That checks out.
I dunked a flute player

Last 4 games: 29, 13, 10, 22. Super consistent. As I said - it's been a yo-yo. Most don't function well in any role when they have zero consistency in their role, nor have any idea what will be their function any given day.
That’s a Jamal problem, not a Wojo problem
But this is what Ners does. He uses yo-yo minutes as a reason for poor production. But in reality it's the opposite. They get yo-yo minutes because they don't consistently produce.He used to have the same complaint about Traci Carter. Who has since transferred twice - first to LaSalle in the A10 and then to Hartford in the American East, where he still can't really shoot.
