I've never seen a worse coach than what Wojo was his first two years with Marquette. His player personal choices were moronic, his style of play was slow, his defense was non-existent and his early recruiting efforts were putting us in an even deeper hole. However all the board boobs and the Wojo fart sniffers were convinced he was doing fantastic in spite of two horrible seasons and dropping attendance.
Whether it was the arrival of Stan Johnson, my spot-on/biting/brilliant posts, or his own self reflection he has since completely changed his philosophy on all of the above mentioned phases of the program for the better. So much so that I'm convinced Marquette will make the Final 4 this year. 8-)
For those who say we're a year away are wrong as teams with seniors play tight when they know it's their last chance and often have the better tournament a year ahead of schedule. Further this year's team has good chemistry where everyone is comfortable with the rotation and their roles. Next year's team with Koby McEwen and others back might be more talented but will require too many collective touches when the game is only played with one ball at a time. Most certainly we'll have transfers in the off-season from those anticipating this and/or mid-season transfers and some predictable infighting unless Marcus doesn't come back and Symir Torrence stays away until 2020.
The one caveat to the above is Brendan Bailey needs to start taking Sacar's minutes. In his Georgetown coming out party he showed his potential elite talent as a legitimate 6-7 to 6-8 long defender who can shoot, rebound and score at a high level. His additional playing time will give Marquette a lethal starting line up of outside scorers, rebounders and defenders that other teams won't be able to match up with for 40 minutes. Sacar is a nice 6th or 7th man but he's too loose with the ball, makes bad decisions and is not a confident scorer and only does well if he gets off early in games. Brendan Bailey and his big talent will give us the boost we need from being good to potentially great! ;D
Loyola last year proved teams that have multiple scorers who can all shoot and spread you out are very tough to beat. In addition Marquette's current players are twice as talented as Loyola's players were. HOWEVER I don't see us winning the national championship as we still struggle with teams that are equally skilled but have more team speed than us. We're not last year's Villanova that had this lethal combination of speed and shooting.
We'll need Theo to stay out of foul trouble and we'll need to survive the first weekend which will be stressful with at least one very close game that might involve a buzzer beater. However if we do we'll march all the way to the national championship game! The national championship game will be against Duke and the media will have a field day with Wojo facing his mentor and will give the game even more publicity and media attention than usual. However Duke's superior talent will rule the day and Coach K and Duke will get yet another national championship.
No need to thank me. Just enjoy the ride and call your bookies and make some easy money off my brilliant analysis for a change.
Aw, crap. We're doomed.
Most obvious bait I've ever seen. Can we just ignore this please

Thank you.
Well, since this is already at the top of HatA, I don't feel responsible for the bump...
Benny does not approve of this thread. To even call it amateurish would be an insult to amateurs.
The closet thing to a troll job this would be is if a one-armed troll was sitting on a moldy tree stump masturbating to a picture of one-legged gnome cutting down that same tree.
I think you meant "Your Welcome..."
Welcome to the bandwagon. Try not to fall off at the first bump

Once again I'm ahead of the curve. Sacar probably read my post yesterday and tried to show that I was wrong but he predictably couldn't answer the bell. Brendan wasn't great either but I think he tries to do too much in his limited appearances and will become much more effective when he's getting Sacar's 25 to 30 minutes a game instead of last night's 5 minutes.
Wojo won't admit I live rent free in his head either by immediately giving Brendan more minutes and probably went out of his way to keep playing Sacar last night even it was clear he was having an awful game and hurting the team.
However I'm sure his staff will quietly lean on Wojo to start getting Brendan more of Sacar's minutes in a gradual manner to make sure the smartest person on the message board doesn't get credit for this no brainer personnel adjustment.
We still need Sacar this year but only as the role player which he is. Hopefully he gets his degree in May and opts to use his 5th year playing immediately for someone else so better players like Greg Elliot and Jamal Cain don't get disenfranchised with limited playing time and opt to transfer.

What a joke.
But, if true, why do you want Bailey to get sacars minutes instead of Cain?
