Demonic thoughts

We can go over each deficiency until we're blue in the face but the most troublesome part to me is the amount of time the team and coaching staff had to develop and execute scouting reports and game plans against the three worst teams in conference.

Good point.  What was the game plan Saturday?  Smh.

9 days for Georgetown
3 days for SJU
6 days for DePaul

Save SJU which is a normal turnaround in normal times, having at least a week to come up with and execute a game plan against Gtown and DePaul is more than adequate and we saw two of the most abject performances of the Wojo era in those two games..

My son, who is a basketball fan but not a Marquette fan, stood up at halftime and said "I don't know why you watch this sh*t" and left the room.

He has a point.

That's priceless.

I will always root for this team and program but that was an absolute s-show by every observable metric.  I think what's most frustrating is that our meltdowns are in so many areas and there is no evidence of team or individual improvement.  We also seemingly don't have a plan B or make any in game adjustments.  There was a stretch were Theo and Justin insisted on trying to score one on one vs a shot-blocker in the low post.  They held the ball, tried to bull their way in, and literally never looked to move the basketball.   Lots of standing around and atrocious spacing offensively is killing this team.  We probably should go small the rest of the season.

None of this is new.  The particular area of major deficiency may change from game to game or season to season, but the overall net product is pretty much the same.Problems that are identified just don't seem to get fixed. (To be fair, there have been some singular adjustments, but to my mind these are short lived, because I cannot remember a successful adjustment after another team's counter).
