Lets keep trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.  McEwen is not a point guard.  These turnovers are ridiculous and lack of adjustments by Wojo is worse.  I'm sure Wojo's coaching point is, we have to play harder.

The reason for the slow start is he is forcing McEwen to be a point guard and all he does is turn the ball over.  No confidence in this team at all.  Things could get very ugly.

Its obvious to everyone but Wojo.  Seems like he is afraid they will transfer out if they don't get minutes.  Similar to last year when Joey should of been on the pine for his bad play but he kept getting major minutes.

Totally agree. Stan has it. We’d be foolish AF to not give him a three year contract to see what he can do. We’d keep all recruits. He’s charismatic AF. And he seems to be spot on in his assessments.

Our offensive gameplan (for the past 127 games)...

4 guys standing around the three point line, Markus runs around, still standing around for the rest, then play 2 on 5 once he gets it.

Wojo teams are so easy to scout.  Never adjustments, no changes.  This team doesn’t care, the players seem tapped out and sick of it

If giving Stan the job meant keeping our recruits I’d sign up for that experiment. A change in leadership is needed end of story. Wojo has never been a good coach. Now he’s a mediocre coach who doesn’t even have the command of his team. Change is needed.

No some players just suck.

When we have Markus defer and try and build confidence for others we start off down 12-0 with 5 TOs in 4 min.

Markus is not the problem. Wojo never built a team. The Hausers knew it and left. Wojo needed to develop these players by playing without Markus in the buy in games early in the season.  He focused on Markus. It is too late now to start working on team confidence. You reap what you sow. THERE IS NO ON OFF SWITCH FOR CONFIDENCE. IT NEEDS TO BE NURTURED OVER TIME.

Markus has taken five shots and made three.  With Markus getting face to face defense, Elmore said to best with "MU is playing four on four on offense."

14 turnovers in one half will not win many games, especially with SJU hitting every outside shot.

SJU has no one taller than 6ft 7 and with Roberts out, no one in the middle.  Maybe they can pass it low without getting it picked off.

Yep. They had zero confidence Wojo would/could right the ship. I don’t blame them a bit for leaving. How some of the ProJos tried to spin that positively for Wojo “manning” up was pure f’in comedy.

Sam was consummate team player. JJJ said he was his favorite player in college hoops as a freshman. JJJ shared ball so well too.    Yet Wojo gave the ultimate green light to one guy - albeit very talented, but you can’t do that. Lose the whole damn team in the process.

We could go back through all the posts about patience and progress and etc etc. but I can't think anyone would honestly claim they would be content with this in years 5 and 6 of the Wojo era.

There's a lot at play, and we're not privy to the financials, but if they're so bad that we CAN'T fire Wojo then Bill Scholl needs to lose his job for agreeing to that contract.

If we CAN fire Wojo and don't, he also needs to go.

Scholl didn’t hire Wojo. Based on his track record, I’m excited for him to make a men’s basketball hire.

Right - but he's the one who negotiated Wojo's current contract and would also be the one to fire him.

I fully understand how college basketball works and contract extensions.

You don’t reward underachievement and imploding just for the sake of giving a coach coming off his 5th year a slight recruiting helper (I’ll be here all four of your years.).

High major recruits families aren’t stupid. They know coaches come and go regardless of how many years on a contract.

That last play...should have been some foresight by Wojo...that's a situation to me where you want Jayce in. #1 to make sure you get the rebound on a miss FT, but more importantly so he can screen off the help side defender on that drive.

What are the chances at least one of next year’s recruits decides to de-commit due to our epic collapse and no bid to the NCAA Despite WOJO still being the coach next year?

Unless this team makes the finals of the Big East Tournament, pork does not believe they deserve a bid.

MU lost this game in the first half with 14 turnovers.  They only had six more in the second for a total of 20.

SJU let MU back in the game by missing free throws, they were 21 for 36. 

Theo and Bailey had zero points.

Koby had 4 points and 5 turnovers. 

Sacar had terrible first half, but something clicked in second and was fantastic. 

Terrible loss with SJU without Heron and Roberts, as was Depaul without Reed.

Why does Howard refuse to just shoot the ball in those situations. He never gets a shot off.
NPOY?

 Sacar got involved in running the offense that was the difference
