Why is everyone so angry?

[BM1090]

I posted something similar after the OSU game. Everything thought this was going to be a 20+ point loss. The team fought, competed, and was within striking distance the entire game. The team exceeded almost everyones expectations. So why is the tone of the board so negative?

[brewcity77]

Seems totally expected. No need to be salty, but losses to rivals always stoke the fires.

Not angry.   Expected a 20 pt loss all year, feared Kaminsky and Dekker playing volleyball on the offensive boards.    They are good.   MU is a work in progress.    All about the process this year.    And really, there are only a couple of guys who are truly angry.

Fans have short memories and don't like losing to rivals. But we looked alright against the number two team in the nation. Bring in Luke, and maybe we can be a competitor in the BEast.

Because not all of us are clueless.

Right now its looking like just one of us is...

We will be a competitor in the BE. People don't know or forget even in Al's hay days we played hard but lost because we were undersized. The Bonnie's as one obvious example. This team is progressing. Give them a chance.

I gotta say, this is one Badger loss I can stomach.  It was one more step in the process.

Wojo had a good plan and adjusted well.  Cohen hit a big shot.  Hope Teve plays better when he has another big on the floor with him.  Bo game planned for Duane, and Duane will be better prepared for it next time.  We don't have thouroghbreds, but we do have hard working horses.

this. We played great. The size difference is like a HS team playing the Spurs.

MacIlvaine said something on the post-game show that was interesting.  He mentioned Duane and how he struggled in the lane with Kaminsky and that he'll learn.  He may have played against Diamond Stone but there is a difference between a high school sophomore in Stone and a college senior in Kaminsky.  Duane will learn to finish those kinds of shots in the future, this is a good opportunity for him to learn.

Trust the process.

Exactly. As I posted in another thread, I am more optimistic about this team AFTER seeing them play - undermanned - against MSU and UW.

Just the same few whiners as there ever were.

Duane also had some nice passes when he drove.  By far the best freshman / sophomore MU has right now.

Yep.  Not too worried about Duane.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

It isn't everyone, its about three immature whiners.

Defense was significantly better than I expected today, offense somewhat below expectations.  Balances out to a bit better result that expected.

Eagle ... this is a message board so posters come her to whine/bitch and complain.  If they don;' have a legit issue, they make one up, like the posters that are angry because they saw red shirts in the BC today.

I've been here for many years and never stop getting amazed at the lengths posters will search/twist/rationalize things so they have something to complain about.  Two years ago, in the midst of an E8 season, we had posters complaining about "look on Todd Mayo's face" when he played.

Sit back an what how posters make complete idiots of themselves.

Two words:  Slap of five.

How could one not be impressed with MU's defense?  Who was saying that Frank was definitely going to get 40?  Ooops.  They fought hard for boards... and did reasonable given the size differences and most of the rebounds were off of long shouts, which come off hard.

I can see why some people were questioning attacking the rim, but there was no space on the three point line because the UW guards were extended.  So they were getting in the lane and drew some fouls.  But should have looked to dish a little more or pull-up.  With that said, a few of the drives and layup attempts by Derrick and JJJ were reckless and not good.  And not sure why Burton kept losing the handle?

Make a few FTs and limit some stupid TOs, and they could have been right in it.

[Hards Alumni]

If you're asking why people are angry on the internet, it may be time to get off the internet.



but really, I thought we played alright.  If we make our easier shots today, we had a chance to pull off an upset.

Agree 100%. After the NJIT game, and after seeing Butler dismantle UNC, I thought we might struggle to win 10 games. Then we did very well in Orlando, hung in there with highly regarded Bucky and Sparty ... and NJIT beat effen Michigan!

I am quite encouraged that we will avail ourselves admirably in the Big East.

Hell, we didn't lose to Wisconsin any worse than Wisconsin lost to Duke!

That's what Dave Brandon theorized...

Must have gone right over your head, dude. Or probably you weren't on the board last year to know what he is referencing.
