I think they'll find a way to win one, just because it'll make this whole process that much more complicated.

My gut says they lose to Seton Hall, but win their first round NCAA game, and it will of course be proof positive for Lovell and Chicos that the program "trajectory" is on the rise.  But then we come crashing back to earth next season under Wojo.

I feel Seton Hall has the yips like we did last year. I think we will beat them. On a roll after that BET title, and sweet 16.

The hope that still exists on this forum is impressive.   I on the other hand have zero in this team winning another game and Markus going out with a whimper instead of a bang like he deserves to do!

I felt the same way dawg but then MU lost to DePaul without Reed before my very eyes.

Can't even believe myself anymore

This is baseless and defies all logic, but sometime sports does sports things. I'd love to see it.

It looked to me like  SH peed down their legs down the stretch. I could see SH mailing it in for the BET, which may give us some confidence.  Going with 20% head, 80% from my heart

Why is 3+ games labeled as "Great Coaching"?  I could buy that for 4 or 5+ games.  But if we lose to SHU, win a play-in game or the 8/9 game, and then get stomped in the next game - I don't think I'm calling that "Great Coaching".

Why is one game an option when its impossible unless you think mu would turn down an ncca or nit bid

I think we lose to Hall. Get a 10 seed. Then beat whatever mediocre 7 seed we play. Hopefully we draw San Diego State as the 2 seed and from there anything is gravy.

Maybe it's because we are crowning Brian Wardle as the next great MU coach based on a three game sample size? One in which they went through the murderer's row that was the 5th, 8th, and 7th seed in the Missouri Valley.

Yeah they were shaky aside from coming to MKE and dominating us. Again. If there was ever a team/coach they'd like to face to rediscover their mojo, it's probably Wojo

How about his trajectory and results at 2 programs over the course of 10 years at the D1 level?  Nice handle, by the way.
