Meanwhile In Austin

Texas will be in the Sweet 16 within 3 years.....

Smart just needs a couple of his recruiting classes......

And he gets Texas to pick from......

I would be very surprised is he doesn't kick A$$ within the above time period.....

Has almost all freshmen. Made the Dance with Barnes' talent. Will have Texas back in a year or two. Silly comparison.

So it was obvious that everyone had it wrong to have them ranked at the beginning of the season?

The issue is not the 10-20 record, Crean Buzz and Wojo did that.  The difference is they were expected to have those types of seasons.  Shaka was not.

Michigan State, Indiana and UCONN were rated higher too. Preseason polls are biased and are a little over half correct. In other words, they are crap. Scoopers are more informed.

Yeah it is way too early to right him off.

I do think he is a tad overrated but hardly a poor coach.

Shaka had a proven track record of success prior going to UT. Comparing apples and oranges in talking Wojo and Shaka. Expectations higher with Shaka but the rope should be longer for him.

Shaka coaches at Texas.

I could care less what Texas does. Hence, I don't care what Shaka does. He is not our coach.

Exactly.  Moreover, I have rarely seen a bunch of 'wash women' (some of you guys) argue more about who gets their husband's shirts cleaner over the backyard fence.

Brothers, MARQUETTE is going to the NCAA for the first time since 2013!  Who the hell cares if you were right or wrong in some thread 4 months ago or 4 years ago for that matter?

Great post JS, like it or not we are Team Wojo. Hop on the train!!

We got a berth guys, you should be happy, why aren't you??

Agreed. I am not sure who is arguing anything about the two. I could not care less what Shaka does at any job he has in the country. For whatever reason folks love having threads about the coaches who have left and ones that got away.
This is Wojo's team and success or failure is completely on his shoulders. It was a very nice finish over the past five games and hats off to all involved.
IMO, all I cared about over last five games was seeing some grit and they showed it. NCAA is a bonus to me and gladly take it.

That's the best part in many ways.

Way, way too many Scoopers are focused on woulda, coulda, shoulda.  It's a sad way to live your life.

The grit and confidence they gained in three weeks is impressive. It seems they all bought into the final push and that was not a sure thing after GT mess.

plus 4 top 100's coming in next Fall.  Including a highly rated PG out of Oak Hill Academy.

To clarify, as negative a stance as you have generally taken on wojo and the direction/state of the program this season, you would have been okay without making the NCAA's? Really?

Wow, way to just gloss over the Big East there, IU writer. F*ck IU, F*ck the Big 10, F*ck Mobb Deep, f*ck Biggie, f*ck Bad Bay records as a staff, a record label, and as a motherf*ckin crew.

Try and read all my posts before generalizing my overall opinion of the program. Stated two weeks ago that the NCAA means little to me this season. Happy they are in and believe they earned it.
My take on Wojo has not or is not negative. I would give him a C+ thus far and inflated with ability to land HE and Howard.
