Hoya hooie

1.  Run off the 3 point line again.
2.  Playing without passion, urgency, energy on the road.
3.  Defense not magically better.
4.  Size mattered.
5.  So, if you are small, shoot poorly, defend and rebound without energy or passion... yeah, this is to be expected.

This is the type of game that makes you lose faith that things are heading in the right direction.

This team is a mess.

Here is hoping that Duke wins the national championship.  Coach K retires and Duke hires Wojo.

[GoldenZebra]

Saw this coming, the team peaked vs Nova, and I still think they only won because everything went wrong for Nova and everything went right for MU. Yikes. What a mess.

That faith was shaky already.  Hanging by a thread now.

There is no way in hell Duke (or anyone else) turns its basketball program over to Wojo.

YUP.

Looks like a coach that has lost his team. They're not responding to anything.

[tower912]

The scout is out on this team.  No adjustments to be made.

[MattyWarrior]

This team lacks intensity and a veteran defensive coach on the bench! Another post season lost!

[SaveOD238]

Honestly, I think Wojo has the team, but he is OVER coaching.  When Wojo says "drive it inside" we totally give up on the three point shot.  As the announcers said they were running Wojo's plays and not paying attention to what the defense was doing.

Hauser and Howard have really hit a freshman wall too. Takes away a lot of our scoring options...

Wojo does not deserve, nor will he get that job. Looks like mu will give him another extension based on his awesome performance.

Looks like Cheatham has hit the sophisticated wall.

Hah.  Agreed - I actually got tired of all our pointless driving.

Yep

He, like the rest of the team, is completely one-dimensional. While Howard and Hauser can't create their own shot, play zero defense and can only hit a wide-open 3, Haanif can only drive to his left and cannot shoot from outside two feet.

First time I can remember, I had to shut it off. 5 min. and some odd left. Could not watch this pathetic performance any more. I've got to say, today and the "effort" at St. John's on 2/1 are among the worst I can recall. This team is so soft. The frosh have fallen off a cliff. "In-game adjustments" are nonexistent. Zone, man, makes no difference - the School for the Blind could score in the 80's against us.

Trying to respect the process, but to call this progress is a reach. I hope the incoming frosh are beasts! This season is gone. I don't even want to see this group in the NIT. Lock the locker room, give 'em white T-shirts, whatever.

At this point, I'm not sure many ADs would think he deserves a head coaching job in a power conference. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, coaches need to cut their in a mid major before big time programs take a shot on them.

Sure, being around a legend like Coach K is a nice line on the resume, but it seems clear that the jump from assistant to head coach has been a bigger struggle than anyone anticipated. He (and we) would have been better served to have coached a Davidson or Richmond for a few years and then move on to a power conference program.

[Anti-Dentite]

Well, I guess we have to put up with Wojo for another year. Will the posters who refuse to see Wojo has no chops (and never will) be willing to cut this train wreck after 4 years so those of us who see the obvious don't have to suffer through year 5 and get this rebuild started?

Me too, i shut it off it's to frustrating

Some college basketball writer posted something yesterday saying that only 8 of the head coaches in the "Power 6" basketball conferences got their current job directly from being an assistant.

The only two that did not have a prior connection to their program were Chris Collins and Wojo.  Everyone else was either promoted (Gard, Boeheim, Mack, Holtmann, Izzo) or a rehire (Leitao).

What is our record in games where Luke Fischer misses an uncontested dunk?

That play gave a pretty good indication of how this game was going to go.

That is definitely not a group I want to be in. There's a reason why 90% of the programs have taken a different route. I have to think the administration sticks with Wojo next year, but if we struggle this much again, it's time to cut bait. There are plenty of coaches out there consistently putting together 20 win seasons at smaller schools, and that's who we need to be looking at next.

This is a fun team to watch when they feel like playing. Just don't understand why we can't bring it every time we take the court. Maddening.
