What about Jay Wright's performance last night?

I think we'd be giving Wojo a pass on this one if we won the natty last year and lost a Player of the Year PG, as well as 2 underclassmen to the NBA.

It wouldn’t be Scoop if people weren’t comparing Wojo to Wright.  Let’s get it straight once and for all:  Wright didn’t make the tournament until his fourth year at Nova.  Wojo made it in his third year at Marquette.  Therefore, Wojo is better than Wright.

Jay Wright has earned the right to call a blowout a bump in the road. Wojo isn't there yet. Wright's resume speaks for itself. Wojo's is practically empty at this point.

You can't judge Wojo based on last night's game any more than you can judge him based on the Nova game in 2017.
Have some patience, FFS.

I don't think anyone here is judging Wojo based only on last night. They're adding last nights game to a growing list of frustrating and embarrassing games over the last 4 years. He's had plenty of history now at MU for fans to judge.

It appears that games like last night are the general trend and the Nova one in 2017 was an abberation.  I really hope things change but I am not holding my breath anymore.

It’s like people forget about Vandy, Ohio St., Florida, Iowa...All of which were at home.

It happens once a year to Marquette without fail. No need to freak out about a loss on the road in the 3rd game of the season.

5th year.  Made the polls for a short two days and out.  Just not even close to being good enough.  That’s just me though, I’d prefer to have high expectations.  I refuse to lower my expectations.  Others may feel differently.

We've had 10 coaches at Marquette before Wojo over the last 65 years. Wojo has a better record than one of those 10 - Bob Dukiet. Can we judge him on that?

One game in Year 5, now added to an ever growing portfolio of frustratingly similar performances. If Wojo had a couple years of tournaments berths and big time wins on his MU resume, it would be easier to write off the IU game as an outlier. But because it looks so similar to the past 4 years, there is cause for concern.

Can’t say I’d be happy/content with just a bid. Wojo reached that bar in year 3, then took step back. Feel like we’re just spinning our wheels with him

If we make the tournament after having a strong BE season, that would help improve my outlook on Wojo. But if we limp in and get embarrassed like we did 2 years ago, then I don't see my opinion changing. With the talent on this roster, I think most college coaches (maybe even a number of Scoopers!) could earn a bid this year. To me, that's still a pretty low bar.

Aaron Rodgers career has largely been wasted due to his coaching and his team’s defense

How is that any different that Markus?

Just kidding.  The jab was too easy.  Its November.  We whooped up on the cupcakes and got overfed.  A reality check happens pretty often.  At least this wasn't a head scratcher on our home court.  Do you remember Vanderbilt in 2011, Purdue last year?  I get Purdue was ranked, but remember a November blowout is a Marquette tradition.

I don’t think people are upset over just this one loss, I think people are upset because Wojo has never proven that he is able to make the team better over the course of a season than when they started. And in year 5, when the talent level is as high as Wojo has had, a poor showing like this is making me worried that he won’t be able to make this team better as the year goes on because of his track record.

Yep, we hit a bump last night and some of us fell off the wagon.  One early game, with a terrible early 10 minute start and we went downhill.  One game, one loss.

So we DID play downhill after all!

Exactly....and for those saying "just one game" I'd love to know expectations for any coach given 5 years following Buzz.
