7 years no NCAA wins / losing record in BE
9th place this year w / losses to DP and GT...
3 straight years w / 1-6 streaks to tank seasons
Another " young " team next year
Lack of real BE caliber talent
Problems that go on year after year after year ( turnovers, terrible offense, lack of inbounds plays, can't break a press )
And an Admin that does not seem to care...
Deane got let go after 5 years, and had accomplished more. CreaN and Buzz ...
Got even more done.
What has happened? Cuz if Cords and
Wild we're still around he'd be gone ...
I'm apathetic to the current MUBB situation until something changes.

Never let facts get in the way of a good story.
They have gone 1-6 each of the last
3 years
Twice to end the year, and this year during the middle ( each of which helped destroy/ bottom out the seasons )
In my 50+ years of attending MU basketball I have never been more disgusted! Wojo is a nice guy, represents the university well and recruits great kids!! Yet he could be the worst coach for the past 50+ years. Bob Dukiet era was bad but he had zero talent...Wojo has talent. It will be very difficult for Marquette to move on and eat his extended contract but something has to change in coaches.

I agree with your sentiment. However, the change is not happening this off season. Lovell has his hands full with enrollment declining, layoffs etc. No way Marquette is paying him to leave. I also do not believe Lovell is the right guy to lead our University going forward. The school needs a heavy hitter that can raise money, engage alums and turn the ship around.

Dukiet had zero talent because of who the head coach was.

This year it didn't happen at the very end of the season. Yay!

We kind of built up to that...
- 2017: 1-4 stretch after beating #1 Nova. (Win over #183 DePaul)
- 2018: 1-5 stretch to go from 3-2 in the league to 4-7. (Win over #99 DePaul)
- 2019: 1-6 stretch to end the season. (Win over #88 St. John's)
- 2020: 1-6 stretch to end the season. (Win over #67 Georgetown)
- 2021: 1-6 stretch in the middle of the season. (Win over #114 Butler)
I guess we should've seen it coming when we had a 1-12 stretch in Wojo's first season (win over #83 Seton Hall).

Where's the banner?
In a word, yes. Let the Wojo contract expire, let the Fiserv/Bucks lease die. Hire Wardle, move to the Al, and join the Missouri Valley/Horizon. Basketball program goes from a $20 M/year operation to a $2 M/year outfit. Budget problems solved. Sell yourself out for buy-games to Big Ten teams to support the soccer teams.
Games versus UWM will now mean something!
Who's the new Big Daddy (RIP) of the group that can get us some solid inside info? I am of the thought that there is no way Wojo is let go with that buyout but I'm hopeful I'm wrong. But we need some solid info one way or another so we can all move on. Not just buyout speculation.

There are many things that could be done to convenience wojo to leave MU. Cut his budget to near zero would be a good start.

This is spot on. Every time someone states unequivocally that Wojo will not be fired, they offer no proof let alone evidence. Its true because they said it, right? Reminds me of someone on the national scene who has been doing just that for a number of years now. I get someone saying that he will
probably not be fired, but there is still the
possibility that he will be.
The next 5-10 days could get interesting. I'm hoping that a big donor or two will help with the buyout and rescue Marquette basketball from this nightmare coach.

Ask poster Bad Reporter....
He has stated on numerous occasions, most recently yesterday, that Wojo is gone and is looking for $1,000 bets.

I don't think it get interesting at all. MU is in a fiscally bad spot right now. Do you really think Lovell, who has implemented austerity campus wide, want the optics of buying out Wojo. Not a chance.
Dick Strong is not walking through the door anytime soon.

I disagree with the talent part. Of the power 6 conference teams we players only UW and Butler were less athletic and we were 3-0 against them.
