9-9?

[4everwarriors]

Whatda y'all gonna say wen Wojo potentially pees down his leg again next season, hey?

[NickelDimer]

33 FTs yielded. 19 offensive rebounds yielded. We won the eFG battle. 

FTs are yielded when a team is playing defense, correct?

Thank you. Why are people acting like fg% is the only measurement for defense?

I mean stats aside; does anyone think we actually played well defensively?! Was our offense the bigger issue? Sure. But does that mean defense wasn't an issue? No

If next season is a failure, I think it will be time to move on. There are some positive signs and some negative signs, but he's spent 4 years building toward next year's team. If it succeeds, great. If not, then it's time to let MU know where I stand. Doubt my voice carries much weight, but that's my personal perspective.

The next 2 years there will be experienced talent on the team, if he can add a piece to that both years they will be even be better.  So lets see how he coaches that.
Most teams in the league have senior leadership from more than 1 senior on there team.  If Wojo can not be in the upper part of league next 2 years he then for
sure is the wrong coach.  Lets see if he can make Howard a point guard,  that might be the key move next year.  They may get a grad transfer but if they do he better
be a big guard, not a smallish point.

If they had won yesterday,and split the next two,would everybody feel as bad as they do now?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Waiting to hear from 5J, but he has stuck with 9-9 and I'm sticking with it too. Bubble is soft this year. Clearly this garbage loss doesn't help but not counting us out.

Sorry have stayed away from this place. Soul crushing loss.

I still think 9-9 should get us to Dayton.

No...not even close...this was DePaul, a dumpster fire of a program, that they just lost to, giving them their first win at home in BE play. This is the equivalent of losing to an Omaha, or Maine, or Savannah State. It should never happen(but it has too many times).

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

It hurts cuz we lost to Nova twice.

Not really. Could give MU a Q1 win opportunity next Saturday.

[Lennys Tap]

I have also change my signature and forum profile to make my expectations for next year very clear.  So that Lennys won't have to go through the effort of a search next year.

Good plan - that way you won't "misremember" like you did this year.

[Earl Tatum]

The money MU spends on its BB program and this is the product?
WOW!

[GGGG]

No I know how a voted when polled. Didn't misremember anything.

Is this with 2 in the BEAST

Define "pee down his leg?"

-  No NCAA Tournament - Recommend his termination.
-  NCAA Tournament and 1st round loss - Depends upon circumstances.  If it is a blow-out loss to a lower seed, I'd recommend his termination.  Nail-biter loss to a lower or higher seed, I'd recommend another year.
-  1st round win or better - Recommend another year.

Much rather lose at @Georgetown that @DePaul. DePaul is just a bad loss no matter how you dice it up. To call @DePaul a road game is a stretch.

Smilar to comments on other threads, for the 2018-2019 season I expect:

-  In or near Top 25 all season;
-  A solid recruiting class for the 2019-2020 season;
-  Significant improvement for this year's freshman;
-  6 seed or better in the NCAA Tournament; and
-  1 win in the tournament (at least).

I'll acknowledge the tourney is #crapshoot (strange losses and wins happen), but after 5 years and a few metric tons of money (including some of my own), I expect better results from Marquette men's basketball.

Sadly, I know which way I am betting . . .

I have similar expectations for next year to be considered a success (see my signature below)...no more excuses for Wojo.

Unfortunately I'm also bracing myself for 1-2 seemingly inevitable transfers this offseason which will affect our depth).

Weird.

I know that if Wojo/MU won the Big East and got blown out in the first round of the tourney, I wouldn't "recommend his termination." To each their own, I suppose.

I'll ponder that scenario.  My initial reaction is that winning the BET is nice, but ultimately, I primarily care about NCAA tournament success.  I'm 50-50 on that scenario.

Conversely, I would gladly exchange a BET Title for a Sweet 16.  In fact, in every season going forward I would gladly lose the first round BET game for a Sweet 16 (or better).

+1000 It's all about the tourney...right or wrong, crapshoot or not, that's what gets Coaches paid and/or fired. Tourney success is how you are measured.

I don't think anyone was referring to the BET, they were referring to winning the Big East. If Marquette went 27-6 (14-4, 1-1 BET) and won the league, earned a 3-seed in the NCAAs, and lost to a 14-seed in an upset, would anyone be clamoring for his firing?

Apparently, the (sad) answer is "yes"

[Lennys Tap]

No I know how a voted when polled. Didn't misremember anything.

You say you know how you voted. We all absolutely know what you posted. Whether we paralleled last year or took a step back, whether we had a strong BE record or not, whether we made the NCAA or the NIT - you're right, according to you. LOL.
