Triggered. Can't handle the truth. Didn't mean to intrude on your safe space.

You know snowflake, you chose a bad day to come here and start throwing crap.  You can call it triggered if you like, but I call it a ban hammer!

That really has nothing to do with his point.

Hmm...of the top 40 teams in the country in terms of getting there highest percentage of their points beyond the arc, only 3 (Michigan, Marquette, Notre Dame) are ranked in the top 40 in the country.

I looked at offensive efficiency, and those three were the only three that were top 40 in both percentage of points beyond the arc and offensive efficiency.

Living by the three may be one way to win, but it's certainly not the only nor most popular way. FWIW, there are five teams in the top 40 that have sub-300 adjusted offensive efficiency rankings.

Need to mix in some solid D to go with the shooting.

For MU to be 22-6 right now they'd had to have won every game decided by 7 points or less. So 8-0 in those games. They're 3-5. To say they should maybe be a win better right now because of too many close losses is plenty realistic. But gotta factor in tight wins over Fresno, nova and SH at home when determining how MU has been in close games this year. 3-2 in those games at home. 0-3 in those games road/neutral.
GO WARRIORS!

maybe we don't scream ecstatically every time we win a game we're supposed too but are bitterly disappointed when we blow a 12 point lead in a must win game.

More players with lateral quickness would help.

I think the best you could realistically say if we won the four games we blew (Pitt, @Butler, @SHU, @Prov) and lost the one we stole (Nova) we'd be 20-8.  And even saying we blew the SHU game is a stretch, as we had a lead late but not more than a one possession lead.  But unfortunately, we are what our record says we are.

We may be good, we may be skilled, but we are not yet intimidators.  A few years and a little more ink and we will be fine.

I think you quoted the wrong post.  But not targeted at you.  There are a few that ONLY post here to exclaim they'd like to fire wojo or that something is wrong with the program. 

I've got plenty of patience for people willing to discuss things reasonably.  None for people that just register today to throw sh*t.

F*ck off, one poster.

I agree but would not use the same words. MU played hard under difficult conditions against a desperate team on their home court. MU has work to do on defense but there has been improvement. The season is not over. I have been very critical of Wojo but he deserves credit for pulling this team together. Not all losses are the same. I am optimistic this team can win the next two if they just reduce the number of simple mistakes.

I am keeping the faith.

I'm not trying to say what we *should* be, just what this team, with this talent, *could* have been. We've never seen shooters like this at MU. And more likely than not we're not going to the tourney. That's sad.

I'm no Ners, but I did play a bit of HS ball. I had a pretty atrocious shooting form, but I was one hell of a defender (I set the school record for charges drawn). That's what's so frustrating about this team - Yes it's easier to be a better defender if you're a freak of an athlete, but at  the end of the day you don't need an inordinate amount of skill to be a good (or at least passable) defender. You just need work ethic. You can teach work ethic.

If anyone should know this it's Wojo. Not a particularly good athlete but tough as nails. Why this doesn't transmit to his team is beyond me.

You should tell it like it is and stop suppressing the voice of others who think differently than you. Qualities of a dictator tying to influence other people's thoughts. Advancing your own agenda.

Seems like you're the triggered one mate. Making a a new account minutes after you got banned? Not a good look.

Thank you

Hero ball results in another loss.  JJ's layup that somehow rolled out and Sam's wide-open three miss were very good shots.  Katin's dribbling-away-from-the-basket-turnaround-fade-away in the face of two tight defenders when THE TEAM'S TWO BEST SHOOTERS ARE COMPELETLY UNGUARDED ON THE PERIMETER? Not smart.

Hero ball seldom works.

Wow, I had missed this.  Hadn't seen that my wife had reached her scoop breaking point and I sincerely appreciate you in essence sticking up for her and others of the same mindset and dropping the hammer.

And here we are again 

Lose a road big east game = fire wojo

win = you guys never post.

The criticism is not that you are not allowed to voice your opinion.  Many of us just wonder why you never seem to voice an opinion that seems to be enjoying MU hoops?
Ahhh so true

tower912

Complainers and whiners with nary a positive thing to say.    Just that their unrealistic expectations aren't being met and they need to vent.    Sob.    Sniffle.   It's not fair.     It is sad that so many never actually get past the tantrum throwing phase any more.    They just take to the anonymity of their keyboard and indulge their inner 4 year old.

There are losers and winners and I think we are all tired of losing and blowing games. The blame needs to be put where it belongs. Sorry if this offends/triggers you.

At some point it has to come down to the team being able to put the ball in the basket, right?  Like, even if we all agreed 100% that Wojo is the worst D1 basketball coach in America and is 100% in over his head, somehow somebody has to be able to put the ball in the basket at least one time over the final nearly 8:00 of basketball, no?

My guess is that the combination of multi accounts, attacks on other posters, and use of politics is what "triggered" the ban hammer. (See what I did there?)
