Marquette's Winter Break: Ups And Downs

We have endured many downs and enjoyed a number of ups throughout this season. I have one question: Has this season been fun for everyone?

Rate: 1-10, 1 being awful in every way and 10 being awesome in every way.

I'd say, eh, the experience is a 6.5 so far for me.

(Wins against LSU and Providence made me very happy. Losses to Nova and X were disappointing (but expected), and losses to Iowa, Seton Hall, and Georgetown were outrageous. I think this season has been a lot more fun than the last two, though, don'tcha think?)

I don't see anything outrageous about being blown out by a top 10, senior laden team in the 3rd game of the season that is filled with a bunch of freshman contributors (and no seniors).

Seton Hall was "outrageous" for a half, but they are clearly better than most thought they would be, and there was nothing "outrageous" about losing by 10 to a Georgetown team that has clearly turned the corner at their place.

Really hard to rate at this point in the season.  I actually expected one more win at this point so pretty close to expectations.

Carter & Cheatham are better than I thought they would be so that is a big plus.

Ellenson has been fun to watch.  Wilson & Fischer have been frustrating at times.  Cohen has improved nicely.

I would give this season a 6.5 as well.  It will go down if you we don't make the NIT and up if some incredible happens and we make the NCAA's.

I will put my two cents in, Carter as a freshman is just OK, like a point guard that can shoot a little bit, and this kid really can not.  Tired of seeing a point that can not
score, the years with Derrick Wilson were bad enough.  Has a good enough handle but has not shown an ability to score as of yet.  In three years a different story possibly.  But if Marcus Howard comes to MU, Carter may see no more than 10 minutes a game.  He might be OK if the wing could score but really Cohen is just a subpar
player, he has some athleticism to him, but can not shoot from distance nor which is shocking really a derange game, he has gotten into the lane many times, but
does not know what to do once he gets there.  Still needs to had 20 more pounds as well.  I see JJJ or Hauser next year taking some of his time that he is getting this
year unless he adds to his game, coaching should be working on that everyday.  His release is slower than molasses.  Add Duane Wilson issues with shooting and no wonder this team is losing.  They will be better off when Duane leaves.  No consistency, and I think he believes he is better than others as he has no conscience on jacking up shoots, just look at last game.  Wojo should have benched him.  To bad there is nobody else.  Rowsey will take some of his minutes next year.  Unless Henry
stays on, this team will be worse next year.  Every team in the Big East has men,  MU players are undersized, needs to recruit some bulk.  Can you see Cohen as your
power forward next year, ouch.
