I will start with a few names for the usual Wojo late season collapse.
1)Wojo Oh No.
2) Stevie's stumble
3) Marquette malaise
4)February Falter
Only one rule, please be creative.

I like that one, 5)"there's 16 minutes left". Very nice!
Slide like a PowerPoint
Don't think we're as good as we thought. Also, I think we miss the
muscle of "Big Ed". Look at the upper bodies of most of our players compared to the opponents lately. We are small. Ed had fire.
Eye blame da Hausers once again, hey?

Want to bet we win 3 of the last 4?
I've tried this a few times this year. Nobody ever takes me up on it. Just like to piss and moan.

Not sure what amount you want. $200 to a charity of the winner's choice?

Just to clarify, 3-1 or 4-0 is a win for me, correct?

Goose - unfortunately, your are correct - it will need to come to at least Wojo's Farewell Tour, part 5 before this administration does anything. And that's if they decide a winning basketball program matters to them.
Quote from: Goose on February 22, 2020, 12:52:58 PM

If only that was true.
Last year we were told that the team was trending upward!

Hope all is well in Seattle. Maybe, just maybe Wojo makes a lateral move after this season. With current state of program there are about 75 lateral programs out there, so it should not be a hard find. Maybe a trade for Wardle would make some folks on here happy.
Like last year, Could our collapse be caused, in part, by disgruntled players who no longer buy into Wojo's star system offense? just saying, Doe

Very possible. The question is, would you want to play on a Wojo team?

An odd time for the team to become disgruntled when MU was surging up the rankings both years just prior to the "collapse."
One can hope - my fear is with a second straight year end meltdown would scare schools off (not to mention another likely no NCAA tourney win). We should likely hope for some success at year end so somebody takes Wojo off marqette's hands.

Without the humor.
Wojo has a record now and he is not going to be able to sell himself with a power point presentation and Duke Kool-Aid.

Yeah. His record is going to be 3 NCAA tournaments in 4 years. Some power conference teams would be happy to have him. Maybe not any good ones, but to think he couldn't find work is absurd.

As it stands now, two of the NCAA tournaments one and done.

Totally agree. He is a good P6 coach. Not bad, not very good, just good.

Both the losses were blowouts. I think the average margin of defeat was around 17 points. One as a lower seed, the other as the higher seed.
You have to admit that there have been a lot of "L"s over the last few years that were just ugly.
I think this kind of track record could matter.

Lost by 20 as a 1 point dog. Lost by 19 as a 4 point favorite.

Absolutely. But that's not what I responded to. He's an average P6 coach.
I was hoping we would win 1 of the previous 3, but not surprised to lose all three. I also expect 2-2 or 3-1 down the stretch.
Who you play matters and so matchups. It's why I said Creighton would beat us and Providence on the road was going to be very difficult.
I've had this team pegged the entire season and only missed one game so far...an overtime loss.
Comments by the team after the game were pretty good...they sense people whining and jumping off the bandwagon....they are sticking together. As am I.

You know I am big fan of you as a person, but no longer have credibility in regards to our program. You play games on here, which I love, but you accept us being a one and done program. Keeping posting, but try and stay away from serious ball conversations. You are great on everything non ball related.

Recently called the Hauser transfers "addition by subtraction". That's all you need to know about his basketball acumen.
Anytime somebody tells other people how much smarter they are about something it usually means they aren't very smart regarding that topic. Not always the rule, but usually the smart people make it known by they're actual intelligence, not by their ability to scream from the mountaintops how smart they are.

Considering he scored 19 points in the last 5 minutes when the game was decided, "we're sticking together as a team" rings pretty hollow. Markus' interviews are the perfect blend of Wojo and Stan: Bland jock-speak mixed with "inspirational" gobbledygook.

Predictable.
