Title: UConn't make this up
Post by: tower912 on February 27, 2021, 03:41:39 PM
1.   UConn's length is endless, faster, jumps better than MU's.     Actually, UConn is faster at every position.    Speed kills.
2.  Bouknight is going to the league.
3.   All of UConn's size, depth, speed, and ups up front got in Garcia's head.   And DJ's.   Garcia fought through it, which is awesome for a freshman.   DJ?   Nah.  Never had it.   
4.  All of that allows UConn to overplay like crazy on the perimeter, because who cares if you get beat?    There is another high flying 6'9 guy behind.    I remember on the other board Muggsy asking about UConn very early in the year and I pointed out they have 7 players 6'9+ listed on their roster.
5.  Wojo should have called time out at around the 9:30 mark of the first half as the game was turning.    You simply cannot have 5 minutes of uninterrupted play without DJ on the floor.   Because UConn started rolling and once they were, it really didn't matter anymore.   MU wasn't going to stop them once they were rolling.   And MU had played really solid defense the first 8 minutes.    Hedging on the high pick and rolls instead of switching, good energy on the boards.    All the flow left MU and went to UConn.   Call the damn timeout.   
6.  It was so nice to see Lewis back.   Still shouldn't shoot 3's, but such positive energy.   So little fear.    You almost forget what he brings.    Should have sat him the last minute.     
7.  Perez needs a conscience.    But at least he is aggressive. 
8.  Sanogo seems to get motivated to play against Theo.   Seems to be more energized than usual. 
9.   I wonder if Wojo knew how much that Lewis was going to have today, if he would have come up with some 3 big sets.    Play Garcia, Theo, John together.   In general, I don't like that idea.   Just spitballing, maybe it would have helped today.   
10.   Get nothing from your guards?    Yeah, not going to get it done against UConn.    DJ and Koby needed to be the good versions of themselves to get the W today.   They weren't.   Symir outscored them both.   'nuff said.
11.  But the freshman forwards, the (theoretical) future, showed themselves fearless and willing to fight through adversity. 
12.  4 star recruit Stevie Mitchell had a hell of a game.   35 for a county championship

Should be no further discussion of any MU player going to NBA after season.

UCONN, with Boucknight healthy, Cole shooting like that and their athletic length, might be best team in BE.  To me, Boucknight is best player in BE and I’ll let Hermie do the draft thing, but he looks like a lottery pick.

Justin Lewis was probably 70%, yet the guy was tough.  One of few players who actually can handle a rebound, great hands. 

I presume Dexter has told Wojo he is transferring because even in blowouts, the guy is not seeing the court.

That reminds me it all started with officials who always nodded to Buzz started Shaking their heads to Buzz in the New BE here we are 8 years later with zero NCAA wins in 8 Years. The Program is finally partially back but we need more changes. We Are Marquette!

MU killed in the paint by dribble penetration by UCONN's guards, who scored 64% of their points. MU worst defense in Big East. That end to end dunk with MU's matador defense should be on continuous scroll in The Al's lobby.

Wojo's line-up on UCONN's run and his failure to call a time-out on the road was another in-game head scratcher and that lost the game.

Good halftime adjustments to go inside with JFL and Garcia. The frosh were the only two who showed up today. Start Lewis when he can take the minutes. Play for next year.

MU needs roster help in the skilled shooting positions.

UConn's physicality and ball pressure disrupted.
Lewis is not on a minutes restriction and will finally be able to practice.   
Looking for guys who want to compete and play to win.
This was a bad game for DJ but Wojo assumes he will bounce back.

As disappointing as this season has been, I was truly looking forward to writing an article about MU getting back on the bubble and their path to a bid had they won today. They didn't and any hopes of the bubble are truly over. I guess the only thing you can count on from Wojo's teams is inconsistency.
Title: Re: UConn't make this up
Post by: mug644 on February 27, 2021, 07:54:18 PM
Two things really struck me:

--our D manning up tight at and outside the 3-pt line was near useless. Their quick guards stepped around our slow-footed defenders time and time again, allowing them into the lane. Bad things then kept happening for MU.

--MU trying to press only reinforced how good UNC's was (or how bad MU was at breaking it). UConn seemed to have at least 2 players beyond the press nearly every time. How many dunks did they have while we were pressing?

Actually a third thing was reinforced...a good showing at UNC did nothing to make me think that Wojo should be here much longer.

Post by: MuggsyB on February 27, 2021, 07:59:25 PM
Our lack of physicality manifests itself on both ends of the floor.  Part of the reason we turn the ball over is there is no one to throw it to.  We can't create space from our screens. Now some of this is quickness as well but we turn it over and can't force turns because we play with no physicality. Part of it is personnel but I also believe we are not taught rudimentary fundamentals.

Here’s what I know about MY tournament....I haven’t decided what seed they are but I’m pretty sure they win in the first round against, I’m going to say.....UNC. Then I think they follow that win up with yet another win against in State rival Wisconsin, who knew??? I then see a Sweet sixteen win against in conference rival Creighton. Not sure how it goes from there, maybe we lose to DePaul in the finals???? I suppose the larger question is will this tourney run be enough to silence the Nojo’s😉

At this point I doubt MU bball has 10,000 people who care enough to sign a petition.  We’ll see what kind of crowds come back once they get to see games in person.  Anyone who’d pay to see this trash in person must enjoy lighting their money on fire also.

Furthermore the only way Wojo is leaving is if he goes to another program. Therefore you should WANT him to win so his candidacy is more attractive.

I want Wojo gone. But he is not going to be fired this year. So the UNC win had no bearing on that.

You and the Bitcher have failed to understand this simple truth. And it has robbed you of what little joy you could have had this season. Instead you’re just miserable twats rambling over nothing. Lolololololololol.

Look, it’s back.  The “you don’t understand” argument.  You just say the same stupid crap over and over again.  Lol.

Yes, by all means. Give Marquette  hundreds (or us it thousands?) so you can watch a team you hate and boo a coach you hate more. That’ll show ‘em! They’ll be horrified as they spend your money.

They obviously care about booing. They stopped announcing Wojo’s name during intros because people booed. 8 years, no tournament wins. He deserves to be booed. Dude is so thin skinned he deleted Twitter after a blowout tournament loss. MU censors comments on Instagram and Twitter. Parent keyboard warriors are out for blood defending their children when they have a bad game. We are a clown program and disgrace to our once proud history. This program, University and overall mediocre attitude is one big dumpster fire and anyone with a brain and honest eyes knows it.

Those in denial are the ones who root against their supposed favorite team because they ignorantly believe a loss will get them what they want.

It’s sad to hear this. I’m somehow responsible for the state of the program because I attend Marquette Basketball games. Will there ever come a day where you place the blame squarely where it belongs? On Wojo, Scholl, Lovell, and the BOT? Clearly you’re not happy with the program, but you still refuse to do that. You need to have that epiphany. It’s cathartic and necessary. There is no happiness in MUBB right now. It sucks - I agree. But a competitive basketball program does not get to this point over the course of 8 years by accident. And it doesn’t get there because a guy on Scoop renewed season tickets.

Me and a lot of young alums I know refuse to get season tix again until Wojo is gone and the team and University moves from politics. They have no idea the damage they have done with things like Theo’s comments or embracing a felon rapist. People don’t like that stuff.

If you really have been reading Scoop while you lurk, you should know without needing to be told that there are very few Wojo defenders here.

For example, more than a month ago, I said that he should be fired immediately, during the season. And I meant it.

All I’m saying now is that I doubt it will happen, so I’m not gonna figuratively throw furniture and scream on the interwebs. And I’m not gonna refuse to enjoy a game like Wednesday’s.

If you choose to hate a victory at the Dean Dome, it’s a free country and you are free to experience zero joy.

But you know what, my friend? You and I actually agree about voting with our wallets. So you might want to save your lecture for 5Cent.

He is so desperate to get rid of Wojo ... that he’s gonna renew his season tickets to help pay for Wojo’s next contract extension!

Indeed, several of you feel so great that you have proceeded to make stuff up about your fellow Scoopers' reaction after the UNC game.

Effen do something besides whine on a fan board, will ya? Cancel your season tickets. Organize a petition to fire Wojo and get 10,000 signatures. Lead a walk-out of the final home game. Protest outside Lovell's home. Go up to Theo's face and yell at him. Be effen men and do something besides whine like beyotches and lie about what other Scoopers are saying.

If I start a petition will you sign it?

But given that I said 5 weeks ago that MU should fire Wojo immediately, yes, I would be behind the general idea of a petition calling for the BOT to send him packing.

Yup.  The difference in athleticism today was stark outside Lewis and Garcia.  Wojo’s in-game coaching can’t overcome mismatched rosters and that’s been his biggest problem his entire tenure
Cain is the most athletic guy on our team and I think he is the only one that matches up strictly on that level with UConn.  He is the only guy we have that can jump with the UConn guys for a 50/50 ball and come away with it. 

Lewis and Garcia have other basketball attributes that allow them to compete and perform very well with the likes of UConn, so the package is better, but Cain is very athletic.  What I like about Carton and Lewis is that they have a nose for the ball.  They instinctively do a lot of things well, though that is mostly true on offense and rebounding.  Their relative lack of quickness/athleticism hurts them on the defensive end, IMO.

 I was at a Marquette game in Milwaukee vs. South Carolina's all white team. One of their players was racially bating a Marquette player (think it was George Thompson) and in the final seconds the MU player punched the guy in the mouth and floored him.

Kobe Bryant has his charges dropped too...

Conviction rates are so low for sexual assault (1%) most result in dropped charges for lesser charges. I wouldn't take this as an exoneration at all, especially in a case where the accused became a cause celebre.
