Ugly
Just said that to my wife. 2003 flashback.
Kinda feel sick now .. feel bad for those kids.
All the build up and now we are laying a golden (eagle) egg. Ouch.
This is worse. 4 field goals, 8 turnovers, 10 points in 16 minutes. 19-0 run. Never seen anything like it.
I just posted that on Rosiak's blog
Will we score more than Wisconsin did in their first half?
This is different. In 2003, that was Crean who dropped a giant turd.

goal for tonight: to not lose by more than 20

Phew. roy kicking our ass again.
Wow. Wisconsin actually scored more than we did in their half.
Glad you are ecstatic.

Yeah...I'm jumping for joy. I read on here all day how terrible Wisconsin was and I'm hoping right now just to score as many points they did.
Bad karma coming back. Bad ju-ju
Too bad. Ugly doesn't begin to cover it.
LOL
We are being raped at halftime and deserve every bit of it.
I'll still contend that Crean is to blame.
Can you explain why we deserve to be raped??
I'm blaming Crean. Today is his birthday.

Atleast I am not at this one....like I was in 2003.....

I really really hate Roy Williams.....

Well at least I can drink copius amounts of beer at home to take some sting out of this one. In 2003 all I could drink was new orlean's finest soda.

Classic
Ners...we just spent a week preparing for these guys and scored 15 points....15 points in a half...and you rip on Wisconsin? Lol
I wonder how much of the " is Buzz leaving " stuff bothered these guys. If so, I bet Buzz wish he handled it differently but I understand why he handled it the way he did. I'm sure someone will ask him that question and to the players, how all the rumors affected the team.
Oh well. So so regular season... Great tournament until today.
Actually posted positive posts when they won. They played well hard ass defense. Played like punks and had good game plans.
I will say: Buzz just lost a 1/2 mil to 1 mil in potential earning with this game.

I will say: you're wrong, he made 1/2 to 1 mil for having his team take the court.
Chicos, start a few more threads...get a grip.
Does Roy Williams have secret mind control power? I have not seen MU shoot like that sine 2003.

Can someone go back and see how many threads bashing MU and TC Chicos started when they got throttled by Kansas.
there will be no bidding at 2 mil for Buzz anymore....after a 15 loss season I don't think he's earned it anyway.
Buzz did not lose any money tonight. Makes no difference because he is in for the kids, not money. I heard his 25 interviews this week.

At this point I'm just chuckling about this. Not even angry like I was when we were blowing games in the regular season. At this pint it's just a spectacle at this point.
Oklahoma press conference tuesday or wednesday?

This was (probably) going to be a 15 loss season no matter what. The beat down we're getting from UNC isn't going to change our expected final loss total at all.
Didn't realize that..... The point was we lost 14 games prior to the tournament.
Quote from: Stone Cold on March 25, 2011, 07:31:28 PM

So what. Assuming you're correct and Buzz lost leverage and therefore money on his contract today it wasn't because he lost his 15th game. It was because he lost his 15th game by a landslide. He was going to lose his 15th game eventually anyway.
And this kind of game hardly inspires the apathetic students about MU bball. I can't recall the last time a team was laughed at and mocked at halftime by a network crew. MU has really made a name for itself in a dubious way.
I just want to see they psychology in play today. This should be interesting, especially after reading last night's posts, today's earlier posts and what we did against KU back in 2003. The hyprocrisy should be stunning today.
Hey Avid...the board didn't exist in 2003 and I was in New Orleans at the game...were you? Kind of hard to start a thread on a board that didn't exist without smart phones, etc. We also lost to the national runner-up that day and tonight, an even worse spanking, to a team that is very unlikely to be the national runner-up.
At any rate, feel bad for the boys. Never seen anything like this and I was at 2003...this one has it beat and then some. Bummer in many ways.
Go back and look at my post again....I said after a 15 loss season I don't think he's earned a 2 million dollar contract. You would dispute that?

Why didn't you post that yesterday? You're posting it because you're upset about this game and you know it. Nothing changed in the expected final loss column since yesterday - only the manner of the final loss.
I posted just today to that OU ball boy that Buzz will get paid over 2 mil and he probably hasn't earned that yet and quoted our increase in losses.
Nice of you to try to patrol my posts though.

Your post makes no sense, but whatever.
When all we had were a bunch of posters here bashing UW-madison for how crappy they were, you don't think the Karma Gods don't bite back? I do. Not sure what that has to do with your post at all, but this is a classic example of what goes around comes around and in spades. I'm guessing as happy as you were last night about UW-madison losing (I was thrilled), they are even more thrilled watching this monstrosity.
This really blows, what a performance. Ugh.

Because if he posted it yesterday he'd have 70% of the board in his shorts screaming at him. Like a bunch of girls here swooning for the QB in high school.
Stone is right, we lost 15 games this year...everyone wanted to bury things because we won two games in the NCAA tournament...which was great....but it doesn't erase everything else.
Hope Buzz stays, he's good for MU and good for stability. Next year we have a nice team coming back. That said, tonight was epic.
Oklahoma fans are not going to be to thrilled at next weeks press conference. Buzz will have some convincing to do to those fans

I think a Sweet 16 showing for MU shows they had a good year, and I think MU is getting beat by a solid team with a great coach. I think it's ridiculous that you come online and bash MU after making it to the Sweet 16. I also don't think it's as bad as 2003 when we had Wade and a real chance at winning a national title with the talent we had. I was not at the 2003 game, so I must apologize as obviously that means you are the better fan and care more about MU. You're a big man.
Quote from: Goose on March 25, 2011, 08:16:01 PM

I think he stays for sure and the MU administration should still work with him and learn from today and build for tomorrow however hard this is to watch.

Absolutely not. I thought Buzz was staying before tonight and I still think Buzz will be staying.
OU hoops.com has a 65 reply thread of "No thank you". Buzz would't be given a lot of leeway at OU, fans are reactionary like everywhere I suppose but even harder if you aren't getting good crowds for even moderately successful teams in Norman.

True. In fact, I think this game means Buzz stays but no questions were answered. I kinda wish we would have played better and Buzz still stayed. At this point no questions will have been answered - everyone will just assume that OU shyed away from Buzz and still say Buzz to _____ next year.
What is what the Prudential Center? That's just not our building.
Yeah TJ, I think Cottingham had this. Would have been nice to go into the offseason playing UNC tough, but Buzz can crack the whip this off season after this beat down...won't let the guys forget it.
If this game made Oklahoma look elsewhere, that would be outstanding news.

I certainly don't think this was done on purpose. But I also think that this badness makes it seem that Buzz is staying because all the potential suitors shyed away from him and won't convince anybody that Buzz is staying because he likes it here.
Chicos--I hate that you delight in the team doing poorly. I know you'll say you don't (and then probably use some emoticon), but threads like this over and over prove that you do.
I think Chicos has competing loyalties but I don't think he cheers against MU, he's a fan he expresses his frustration.

Then can you explain to me how pumped I was all week for MU to play this game, putting up 3 Goggles all over our building during lunch. I had our upper management call today to wish us luck...our CEO is a BC grad so he gets the Jesuit thing.
You make no sense, absolutely no sense. I get no joy in us losing, never have and never will. I do like seeing some posters proven wrong, I'll admit to that. I never like seeing MU lose...I'm sorry you are incapable of intellectual thought to process that.

No competing loyalties...MU is such a far and away #1 it's not even close. Angels #2. IU and KU are way down the list, barely top 10 for me. KU is about to go to the FINAL FOUR and it's kind of no big deal to me. I'll cheer for them but without much passion. MU is where my heart is.

My guess is that it is not that you like posters proven wrong but more likely that in your mind you have to be right and the know it all authority on everything. Even to the point of trumping any rooting interest you have for MU. How else do you explain the numerous posts at half time kicking the team and fans when they are down in a I told you so fashion.

Wondering why a guy capable of writing that the Marquette team (that he "loves") are "choking dogs who pee themselves" behaves like this is like wondering why fish swim or birds fly. It's who he is. He thinks that having a Marquette wastebasket makes him superfan, when in truth he just a whining frontrunner.

Hardly, House, but you don't me from Adam so it doesn't surprise me how wrong, again, you are in this. Being a fan doesn't mean you have to grab yourself 24/7. It's possible to be objective and even be critical. Try it some time, it will set you free and also help explain nights like tonight for you when you get out of the daze and ask "how was it possible this could happen" when others have been telling you all season long how.

Right, Dyckes. Your a great fan, and because you have lots of MU tee shirts you've earned the right to call our players and coaches choking dogs and worse. That's what you call objectivity and constructive criticism. I call it talking s**t and acting like a childish frontrunner.
Tonight was bad but 2003 in NOLA was brutal becuase that team quit on Crean. We were out of the game after 5 minutes and never came back. What really hurt was the 2003 team had 3 NBA players including Wade---I believed we were going to play for the title.
Tonight was all bonus. We fought our way to the Sweet 16 and as a 11 seed v. NC had a small chance for success. Tonight our team kept fighting the entire game--despite being unable to hit a shot. I'm proud with the way they played the second half as much as I was disappointed with the first half.
Congrats to Buzz and the boys for exceeding expectations in the tourney. GTST
And yes, I was in NOLA and Newark.

Tony, fans become emotional and sometimes say things they shouldn't. I apologized for those comments, you even accepted the apology but now apparently you've unaccepted it...interesting.
House, I'm not here to judge someone's fandom because I think that is for little girls to do that read Tigerbeat magazine and decide who loves Emilio Estevez more. Not my thing. I know how much I love MU, how much time I spend on that passion...I think my number of posts here on a MU board might be an unhealthy Exhibit A for the judge. ;D
So Tony, you can say what you want, it's a free country. Doesn't make you right, and in this particular case it most certainly makes you wrong. Maybe next time I'm in your area we can go to Mission Hills (or maybe Willowhill is more your speed...whatever works for you) we can hit whitey around for 18 holes and act like jags claiming who the bigger MU fan is. If you would like, invite Brandner also...it will be a kick in the pants.
In the interim, I'm going to assume that anyone on this board, Tony, is a big Marquette fan or we wouldn't be here. I'm not going to question your passion for MU, but if you want to question mine feel free to do so, but you will be wrong.
Have a great weekend.
Go Kansas!!
Glad we showed some fight last night at least - instead of curling up into a ball and getting pummeled. Glad Buzz made some adjustments that actually did help us somewhat claw back into the game. I was at the Final Four in New Orleans, and that was 100x worse in that we never even made any type of rally. An absolute beat down.
Chicos - You'd be far better off to just come out of the closet and admit your man crush on Tom Crean. There is nothing wrong with having had/having one. I have no shame in my man crush on Buzz Williams, and no problem being called a fanboy. It's a lot better than having to post in a manner where my heart and head have to be in constant conflict. Due to your man crush of Crean, it results in negative posting toward the current team/coach. It's okay if you think Tom Crean is a better coach, promoter, etc., than is Buzz Williams. Where you lose most is in your double standards, and seeming glee to post when things go bad for Buzz's team and "your" team.
