stop sniffing model airplane glue, dude.
Florida State came in prepared, determined, resolved. There was a solid game plan which the 'Noles executed. Let Breaker Morant get his points and we'll play our game. Result: 28 point hammering of a mid major.
What I find hilarious is that Hamilton is not considered one of the game's great tacticians. Pretty much a roll out the balls and let 'em play guy.
FSU played the way a high major should when squaring off against a mid major.
We need a coach.
I would like to here some opinions on the what F*CK happened this season? Sure this team may not be a legit top 15 team but my god we are not like 160th either. Losing six of seven to finish the year is a disgrace. Hurts even more now knowing the team that beat us by 20 just lost by 30. Un fucking real. Wtf happened???
What FSU did just further indicts Wojo. His lack of coaching ability, knowing how to expose a team's weaknesses, etc. In the end, Murray St was an ordinary mid major with one great player. Who beat us by 19
Sure hope this is sarcasm. Gard can't recruit or coach.

Leonard Hamilton is a very underrated coach I've felt for a long time. He's consistently been a very successful coach at a football school in an enormously difficult conference.

I don't agree with you on 90% of things, but you're 100% right here. What is our problem game to game. Defense? nope. Offense? nope. We don't get good recruits? nope. shooting? nope.
It's all the little things. The intangibles. Turnovers. No semblance of offense other than pass around the 3 point line and shoot. Its just coaching. Plain and simple.
Wojo is an ideal face for the university. Its his coaching that gets in the way. There is a reason he was an assistant at Duke for 12 years. Our board just didn't see it.

Gard can coach circles around Wojo. Getting talent like Wojo can means little as we've all seen if you don't know how to coach em up, adjust during a game, coach them to be disciplined, etc
A further laugh st us
Murray's kicks our ass and FSU kicks their ass. Coaches will be lining up to kick Wojos ass

Not disagreeing but just curious. Based on what ?
Anybody who says Hamilton isn't considered a good coach and is thought of as a roll the ball out and play kind of guy isn't paying attention.
And you can sure learn a lot about the knowledge of some posters based on their reactions to single game results. I'm wondering if Jon and Goose were thinking how awful a coach Tony Bennett was when he lost by 20 to UMBC who then lost to Bruce Webber. Maybe Izzo can't coach because he lost to a 15 seed who then lost by 25 to a 10 seed. Or K because he lost to a 15 seed who then lost to a 10 seed by 12.
There's plenty to complain about. For people who pretend they're too smart for posters here, chicken littling how Murray State played in one game kind of diminishes that.
But if it makes you feel better about yourself then enjoy. Happy you guys got what you were hoping for.

Gard's success thus far can all be attributed to one Bo Ryan recruit. Let's see what he does without Happ.

Quote from: Johnny B on March 23, 2019, 07:56:51 PM

I think he benefitted from a bunch of experienced talent that Bo recruited. Once Happ graduates, I don't think he will recruit well enough to keep the Badgers a consistent tourney team. Could be totally wrong, but he benefitted a lot from having Koenig and Hayes right away.

"You had to be tough (or know how to fake it) to play for McGuire, because eventually you had to fight him before practice, during it, afterward or following games. Joe Hughes, who played with McGuire at St. John's before transferring to Denver, said he witnessed Al going round and round in the Marquette locker room with macho forward Maurice Lucas.
Bruised and bleeding, his shirt ripped to shreds, McGuire casually remarked, "He'll think twice about disrespecting me again."
Gard would have won Big East regular season with our team. In an undeniably strong Big Ten, way better this year than BE, still had them 4th

Marquette has such a rich, colorful tradition. The Marquette brand is renegade. It's brawling, and switchblades, and dancing on the sidelines after slam dunks.
Wojo is the antithesis of everything we stand for. The BoT went too far. We need to get back to our roots.

Gard is likely the Madison equivalent of Mike Deane. Superb tactician but uninspired recruiter.
I do give Dino credit - the man could game plan for Cincinnati and Louisville like no other. We were terribly under-talented by comparison and yet the Potsdam Lush could lay traps for Huggins and Pitino better than anyone.
Not sure if Gard is a drinking man but he does know his X's and O's.

Um...no. Gard is a good guy and successful at the D3 level and as an assistant at UW...but good god without Happ that team would have been lucky to be .500 at best total record for the year. His entire game plans were around giving him his touches and they were fortunate he was that good. Give him MU and Markus may have shot 30 times a game.

On point. To answer questions in other threads about why Buzz keeps coming up, it's because he captured that same spirit. The dancing on the sidelines, waltzing on the WV logo, tough-as-nails players. Al's gone and so is Buzz, but the spirit shouldn't be.

As you know, I and many (you) are big Al guys, but I am tired of the constant Al influence at MU. He has been dead for nearly two decades and give from coaching for 42 years. No more Al on the uniform, no more Al nights and do not have to mention Al McGuire court every timeout.
Those who love him, will always love him. It is time to turn that page and let someone else have their day, outside of his shadow. I love Al as much as anyone, but I get tired of it being exploited at games.

You basically verified my point. Give Gard our team that didn't have to rely on one guy, in the weak 18-19 BE, and he brings home a conference title. He wouldn't have lost at home to Creighton amd Georgetown. That's all it would have taken

agree. he is part of the proud history. I grew up on Al McGuire basketball and one of many reasons I am a mu fan today. However it is hard if not impossible to duplicate a legend. Doesn't mean mu shouldn't aim for the top. I am not sure if the powers that be feel that way sometimes.

I do not believe the powers understand what being in the top looks like or how to get there.

Agreed. That was a weird/nonsensical post.
MUs and FSUs results against murray state had very little to do with coaching and almost everything to do with talent levels
FSU had size and athleticism
MU lacks both, mostly athleticism
Murray statte was more athletic than MU
Fsus athleticism dwarfed murray states
I did not say a word about the game today. I had FL St in my bracket. Why would I care how Murray State did today? Only Wojo lovers were pulling for a big Murray State win to make our loss look better in their shallow minds. Don't care how MS played, looked or outcome. We got ass kicked by a mid major and such is life.

Your post made me laugh. Thanks.

I did not say a word about the game today. I had FL St in my bracket. Why would I care how Murray State did today? Only Wojo lovers were pulling for a big Murray State win to make our loss look better in their shallow minds. Don't care how MS played, looked or outcome. We got ass kicked by a mid major and such is life.
Wait. Only Wojo lovers cared what Murray State did today hoping for a big win...yet here we are 4 pages into a thread about Murray State getting smoked by Florida State?

You pointed me out in a previous post in this thread. I was simply stating I said nothing about the team that beat us by 19 on Thursday, losing by 20+ today. There can be 404 pages and I will not comment about the game. I cannot speak for anyone but myself, and I don't care about MS or how they looked today.

Agreed. Very frustrating final month of the season.
Whether Murray State won the NCAA Title by winning every game by 20+ or lost to FSU by 30 the game after us, that does not change my opinion personally.
After we got waxed by Murray St we were told by the the board's resident basketball expert and knower of all things great and small that we were victims of the fates because we had to play the grossly under seeded, super talented powerhouse "Racers". You just wait, he warned - they're about to prove just how good they are. Well, people waited for the proof. And this afternoon they got it. Murray St was a 12 seed because they deserved to be a 12 seed. We didn't get a bad draw - they got a good one.

For a bunch of old men
Alright. I challenge you to do a workout with me.
If you can keep up with this 'old man' you can continue to use that pejorative expression.
- Bench 50 reps of 250 pounds
- 10 mile run
- 4,000' vertical gain with 140 pounds on your back
- 2 mile swim
If you can do this with me then you can continue to use the term 'old man.'
Many people here know me and will attest that I make Theo John look scrawny.
Are you man enough, wades, or just another internet tough guy?
Old man, my ass you weak bellied punk.

Fair enough. Glad you got the answer you were hoping for. To me it doesn't change how I feel this season went one bit.

LOL! My goodness it might not get any better than this. Why not just pull out the yard sticks and measure the peckers while we're at it jonny boy?
Congrats on being all that is man. I already know you are much more of a man than I ever will be. After all, only real men wonder whether other men suck swallow or gag.

I told someone the exact same thing today in regards to MS getting a good draw. Truth be told, we got schooled by a team that many in here touted as a joke based off their four losses. I have seen them play twice and think they are a mid major with a stud.
I was laughing with my wife during MS game regarding how bad is our luck, we would have had two bad draws in a row if we had won on Thursday. What are the odds of that? Especially for the #1 five seed.

If you thought MS's draw was so great why'd you pick MU like you shared a couple times?
wades
You dish out plenty of sh1t and then scramble when challenged. Not sure why you feel you can say whatever you want but get feelings hurt when someone is not living on Woj.
For the record, Crash does make Theo look scrawny and I know Crash has that edge to him.

Fair enough.
But this tournament hasn't given me the answers I was hoping for- rather the answers I feared (and, sadly, expected) - that the Big East was awful this year and every team in it was grossly overrated.
wades
I pM'd several knowledgeable scoopers about hour before game telling them I was pissed I did not change pick. Told them Morant would run wild, we would get in early foul trouble and lose by 10+.
wades
Running? What are you talking about?

I had the same question when I read that post. Like I said, weird and no logic.
I have no idea how we managed to make Murray St look like a 1 seed playing a 16. Still makes me sick
Wades just pissed off that sultan hasn't been around lately. Right wades?

Couldn't care less who's around.
What's your new Instagram name? Or are you staying off of that for a while?
Wades obviously thinks ageism is a source of humor.
I have to wonder why a weak assed punk like that can make pejorative statements about age and not get censured.
Frankly, I haven't met the twerp but I know he won't measure up.

According to some on this site; MU was unlucky vs MSU and FSU was very lucky to win today.
Name one person and show evidence that anyone said that because no one did

I did not participate in it, but I thought it is pretty obvious that was a reaction to a specific poster who was vaguely excusing the beat down at the hands of Murray State by implying they were some sort of juggernaut.

When the shoe fits...
Some of us have some miles on the machine but the engine remains a finely tuned quality piece of engineering.
There are classics in the world, Willie: the '66 Shelby, the '66 Alfa Romeo Spider, the '69 240 Z, the MGB, the TR4, the Karmann Ghia, the F4 Phantom, the Spitfire, the Mustang, and the Warthog.
Some of these young punks don't appreciate fine craftsmanship. And that's a damn shame.

Or what? What are you prepared to do if he's not fired within the next year? Put your money where your mouth is!
Quote from: HutchwasClutch on March 23, 2019, 07:45:38 PM
Gard can coach circles around Wojo. Getting talent like Wojo can means little as we've all seen if you don't know how to coach em up, adjust during a game, coach them to be disciplined, etc
Just checking, so your answer is Yes?

I came to this thread for the first time since the game looking for basketball insight on what FSU did that we couldn't and found almost none.

No one said Murray State was a juggernaut. Some people said they were a horrible matchup for us, and that was correct.

Horrible matchup?
We were woefully unprepared. We were humiliated by a mid major of very slender accomplishment. Very slender, indeed.
That same mid major was decimated by Florida State just two days later. FSU beat them by 28 points.
If that was not the punctuation on one of the most shameful stretches in the storied annals of a once proud Marquette basketball team I do not know what is.
Shameful.

Transitive properties in sports are lame. If you want to go there, we beat Louisville on a neutral court, Va Tech lost to them on their home court. Means nothing.
FSU I have I'm the Final Four, they have annihilated several teams of late, so that is also not a big wake up.
Crash, if we had played some of the 11's and even 10's I would have felt much better. Murray State was a bad matchup for us. I didn't care of the game plan, but with our foot speed if we went straight man I see same outcome ultimately, which is a loss.
