The worst part

Maybe they can use the people walking out as motivation.

With the defense this team doesn't play they have about as much of a shot to go 6-2 as I do to be chosen Queen of the May.

Not sure how you can say it's flat and that the NCAA appearance was a blip. This game was so horrendous that it's got to be the statistical outlier not the "norm". we can still go 6-2 for the balance of the season and have a decent seed in the NCAA and next year's roster is clearly a step up from this years.

I do share the concern that fans just don't seem to care right now....especially considering the investment MU makes in basketball.

Agree with all of this.

To this point we have played the 11th toughest schedule in the country....even with the likes of Chicago State, American, and Eastern Illinois on our schedule. The rest of the schedule? A cakewalk compared to what we have already been through. We can go 6-2 (though we only need 5-3).

We've also played a top 25 offense 8 times so far this season. I can't prove it without looking at every team's schedule, but I'd be willing to bet that we rank 1st in D1 for that statistic.

While we still have a decent chance to get to the Dance (thanks, Gtown, DePaul , SJU for being so awful we can count on 6 wins!) the bigger issue is being in because of math (yay Kenpom) or being in because you're a contender. 

These past 4 seasons, MU doesn't play like a contender.   We're just a background team filling out the bracket with teams. 

Yeah, MU might get a 50 point performance out of Markus and win a game in March, but any top 40 team is likely going to drop 90 on us and send us off.   At the moment, I don't see an end to that.  Hooray for next year?

Ha, at this point I wouldn't count those as wins yet.....

Indeed, agree.  Besides a one-and-done NCAA blip last year, MU's trend is --at best-- flat. 

In addition to zero new fans from the student population, could alumni angst be at a ~20 year high? 

Maybe 'angst' isn't the right word.  Indifference?  Apathy?

Talk about a declining trend.  I accidentally watched the SLU game last night.  I didn't even realize that I wasn't watching Marquette until about midway through the second half.

Wow .. graphic video representation of how many people were gone with a third of the game left to play:

Just brutal.

Damnit.  The one time I have a legit chance to get a parachute drop!

I'd be careful not to judge brother.  Chick gets 5 hours sleep after 8:15 starts.

Abso-freakin-lutely!

Cuz after leading the Longhorns to their exciting 11-22 season in Year 2, he has them on the wrong side of the bubble in Year 3 despite the presence of a 1-and-done center. Why, just a couple weeks ago, they only lost to Huggy Bear by 35.

Scoop woulda been trilled wit alla dat gud stuf, oohna?
