Just looking ahead at the schedule. My thinking is we MIGHT have a chance for a W on Senior Day, but other than that it's unlikely that we'll see another win.
Maybe last game against Depaul, but the others will be very tough for this squad.
I picked 5 wins in the BE poll and maybe they get 4.
Doubt it. Won't win another game.
Depends when Car3no can play.
With or without Carlino, this team has 1 more win in them.
23 months ago, Big East Champs, Elite 8 .. Now we can't scrape up 4 wins.
Beautiful.

It's been an incredible demise. And let's face it - we have 4 open scholarships. It isn't as though there are a ton of talented guys available come spring signing period. The competition for the good ones will be fierce.

Hmmmmm, don't know if I would go there, I know we can beat DePaul, my guess 3 more wins

Thanks to the phony lonesome cowboy who would be at MU as long as they wanted him.
It'll be a win for me either way. I get to say bye to derrick.

+1,000,000.
He was partially stating the truth though, he knew MU didn't want him any longer.

Something he did through his own actions. He drove the wedges, his actions....not anyone else's.
It would be like someone telling his wife he will be here for her forever as long as she want him, and then he goes out as the town drunk, cheating on every chick in town and then when she files for divorce he says "she didn't want me anymore".
Nah, we won't win then either. DePaul is better than us.
I'm hijacking this thread and going in a different direction. On Senior day chick and I will absolutely stay for the ceremony. Juan and Derrick will presumably both he earning their MU degree in May. That's worthy of our support. It's easy to be a fan when times are good. Consider that when you call yourself a dedicated fan and supporter of the team.

Luckily, we now have a coach who can get a commitment from a player in the top ten. The type of player coaches since Hank couldn't get a whiff of.

Good for you. I hope more people adhere to this. Salute to you and the kids.

Mrs. GooooMarquette and I will be there in the stands with you.

If DePaul is the only game we win the rest of the year I'll be happy, and I'll be sticking around for Derrick, Juan, and Matt. I always stay, the Senior Day celebration odds one of my favorite events of the year.

Is Providence better than us? We beat them. The better team often doesn't win.
My friends and I will be there and we always stay for the ceremony. This year will be no different.

Absolutely. Haven't missed one since '08. Hopefully will be there each year for the next 60.
I'll be there as well....and will honor our seniors with a standing ovation to show my gratitude. I get it (as does everyone) that Derrick and Juan are both limited on the court in what one would expect from D-1 basketball starters in the Big East. In fact, their play is often a liability. That has been almost cruelly debated (not really even debated in terms of their performance, but the context and situation MU is in relative to their playing time) enough to make me ill. I am sickened of the piling on and constant personal attacks, especially on Derrick. Let's not forget these young men came to MU as kids with dreams and aspirations. They worked their asses off and by all accounts represented our University with honor. They have been a part of some great high points (elite 8 run, Big East champs) and the absolute lows of the program. Let them go in peace with some dignity and respect as we thank them for their commitment to our school and program. May God bless them on the next part of their journeys and I hope their MU experience will have been transformative for them personally and have long term impact on their success and happiness in life.

Thank you, murobrob, for a wonderful statement to and about our seniors. Perfect.
It always drives me crazy when 2/3rds leave. These guys provide us fans so much diversion and pleasure even in tough years. The one last pay back for us fans to give for all the fun they provide is a nice ceremony and ovation. Our seniors this year were all asked to be something they aren't and they did it all at 110%. Says a lot about them far greater than their on court results, which we are quick to forget, both very good and bad over their time...but always competed the same. Very proud.
Why isn't the ceremony before the game commences? I get that their careers have ended when game is over but honoring them before their last performance would assure a larger attendance
Going and either (A) Leaving early or (B) being less than supportive says way more about you than it will about this current senior class. At least the seniors will have the word 'class' associated with them.

Agreed. I've always stayed. These young guys give their all and deserve recognition. Sure, we may bemoan a particular guy's weaknesses, but they are our guys and we should salute them for their efforts even if those effort did not translate to wins. Life is more than Ws and Ls in the end.

Some coaches don't like to disrupt pre-game routines. Maybe it will change with Wojo?
