The most telling part about tonight.

[nyg]

i think we caught Providence napping.

I think Depaul caught MU napping.  I believe that is their first win in Milwaukee in 16 years. 

[GE911]

Two weeks ago we beat a top ten team on the road.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile

[Mutaman]

For the record, I was not expecting this.

[CountryRoads]

The crowd was dead again tonight. Happy to report that nobody really seemed too upset after the game though. As others have said it's as if we expected to lose. This is the lowest the program has been since pre wade. There is no telling when MU will make the tounament next. Embarrassing with the resources and commitment to basketball at hand.

[mug644]

I wouldn't say I expected it, but its not like I'm stunned or something.

I was worried when Garrett was outside the arc, but had a moment of calm once he moved into the lane. After all, the worst that could happen would be overtime. And then...yup, stunned and annoyed.

[nyg]

Was anyone at the game, it looked half empty on TV. 

[warriorfan 14]

if the team keeps this up they will be playing in front of 200 fans at the end of the year. let's face it, when you put a poor product on the floor, don't expect much of a homecourt advantage

[Anti-Dentite]

Feeling pretty disgusted right now. We should be getting better and are not, we seem to be regressing in fact. I am not sold on Wojo to this point, I know I'm overreacting after a ridiculous loss, but come on.....

[Class71]

Where is the respect the process comment or is that getting a bit tiring too?

[ecompt]

So because we had one fluke victory we're supposed to put up with this crap for seven more seasons? The team is regressing.

It's somewhat amusing that everyone is so apathetic that no one has even noticed or cared that Garrett didn't even come close to getting fouled on that last basket

The game thread had comments to that effect.  Bottom line is that you shouldn't let it come down to one call when you're at home against DePaul.

[Warrior of Law]

Exactly.  The interest in the program is at Deane levels...at best.

It was a bad call.   Booo.    So were the two fouls on Fischer in the first half and a couple of the blocks on JJ.     Booo.

[Lighthouse 84]

Or, if you're going to foul, make sure you foul hard enough that the ball can't go in

[ChicosBailBonds]

rock bottom right now. had some hope after beating the badgers but boy this program has gone down the tubes

LOL.  You are a young one if you think this is rock bottom.  Try going to MU during the late 1980's.

That's why I don't understand whynScoopers get on the student section/fans.  It's hard to get behind this team.  I went to MU when Bon Dukiet was the coach...lots of open seats at the end of his tenure/beginning of Kevin O'Niel's.  I went but I was a below average student and above average consumer but I don't judge the no shows.

[ChicosBailBonds]

The collective 'meh' of these forums.  We are so beaten down as fans that we half expected to lose to DePaul.

Sad state of MU hoops.

I expected NIT this year, sorry that so many of you were buying into hype that wasn't really there and on a player in particular who is really good, but not messiahonic.  Still comes to down to how good is your point guard and we haven't had good point guard play in the last 2.5 years.....look at the results.  Pretty simple formula.

I expect us to be a NCAA tournament team next year and back on our way, assuming a PG is procured and or one develops from this year's team.  People just don't have patience anymore, but that's the way it is.

[NotAnAlum]

Sadly DePaul deserved to win that game tonight.  They out played us 35 of the 40 minutes.  The game wasn't lost by a free throw.
It was lost by settling for a 22 point performance in the first half.  That was not a very good defense we were playing against and we made them look pretty good.  Should have been up by 12-15
It was lost by 3 successive turn overs when we had a 5 point lead and the ball.  I can see a young team doing that in a hostile arena but it should never happen at home.
Like I posted before the game we are much closer to DePaul and St Johns then we are the rest of the BE.  We're 1-1 in the "battle for the bottom" with 2 more away games remaining.

Agreed...but guys who attack the rim often get the benefit of the whistle.  Might be a lesson for our guys.

[forgetful]

I think the most telling part of the night is how unrealistic many are within are fan base.

[Lennys Tap]

I think the most telling part of the night is how unrealistic many are within are fan base.

I don't think it's unrealistic to think we should be able to beat a very poor DePaul team on our home court when they shoot 38.6% from the floor and 26.8% from 3.

It is not just point guard....we have NO athletes who can play basketball in the Big East. We are slow, weak and cannot shoot. Put Jason Kidd on his prime on this team and it would still stink. To think they will be better next year is foolish.

[Boone]

Exactly, ecompt. Somehow, attrition will lead to improvement?! This team is badly in need of Buzz-type recruits.

If HE is gone then we probably can get to .500 in conference play next year. Decent players coming back but not enough to get to the NCAA. Need some big tough players and none are coming in that I can see.
