Looks empty behind the basket.

Speaks to the apathy they have toward a cellar dweller in the Big East. Not unlike during other 3-8 conference record campaigns. Have we ever been this far under .500 in conference play since joining a conference?

I certainly dont remember being this bad. Fans will only support so much before it gets old. You see that in the stands

During the hey-dey of the old Big East, only one team never finished below .500 in conference. Marquette. In two years of the new Big East, we can't even sniff .500. Weird.

EDIT: yeah...I guess we were .500 last year. It just seemed like so much less than that due to the overall record (seriously only 9 of those 15 losses were in conference play?) and the high expectations for last season

If I was a student, I wouldn't go and watch 40 minutes of the Derrick show either. Got old about 30 games ago.

There just aren't any options. Incomplete team.

Thank you Brew. Was about to say the same. Seriously guys, it's ONE F*****G YEAR below .500. Chill the f*** out for once.

We have never finished below .500 in the Big East.

What Was your expectation when we joined the Big East?

They don't want to see Derrick dribble for 25 seconds each time down the floor

I think we all thought we'd get slaughtered but performed very well instead, obviously. Since the realignment it's been a different story. Almost embracing being mediocre. We no longer have that fire or intimidation factor we used to have

It has literally not even been 2 years. Christ.

that's part of it though. It's been disappointing how far we've fallen so quickly

Superfan · « **Reply #16 on:** February 10, 2015, 10:01:35 PM »

We all agree this is brutal. But I question how many teams could afford losing 6 players in a single season plus your leading scorer tonight. Wojo needs a couple of seasons with back to back strong recruiting classes (one already down) to rebuild this mess.

We finished .500 last year! Oh my god, we're not good for one year. Get a grip.

Chicos - Can you recall an MU team that played in conference that ever fell to 6 games below .500? Don't think even Deane's last teams were this far below .500

Nope. Deane's last year we were 5 games under .500 at one point in conference, finished at 6-10.

Of course, I haven't seen a team lose this many close conference games before in MU history either.

He also needs to do a better job coaching.

Is this another thread blaming the student section for that mess on the court?

onepost · « **Reply #24 on:** February 10, 2015, 11:11:09 PM »

I'm a current student who went to that crapshow.....I'm already back home, completely sober.....and YOU guys are the ones bitching?
But in all seriousness, it was a Tuesday night game where I know a lot of people have tests/projects and whatnot tomorrow since we're hitting the first wave of tests. Pretty much anything that doesn't involve watching us play.
And while the Seton Hall W without Carlino and our great start gave me a dose of optimism, that was the most pathetic game I've ever watched in person. We absolutely suck this year - like we all know. What did anyone do on that court to warrant more student participation/attendance?
