It was the best of halves, it was the worst of halves.
« on: November 21, 2018, 08:26:18 PM »
1. 22-0
2.  Turnovers.  By everyone.
3.   No free throws until 4:21 was left in the game.
4.  Kansas is either 1 or 2 right now.  They don't suck.
5.  Some will say hero ball.  Looked like MH was trying to lead.
6.  Theo looked small.
7.  Speed kills.
8.  All my fault.  I missed the first half coaching 6th graders.  Sat down, cracked my first beer in a month, settled in to watch the second half.  Oops.
9.  Beat Louisville.

Because they lost to the #1 team in the country on a neutral court? Lol.

As it should. Zero adjustments at half time.

I give up. This team is so disappointing day in and day out. How do you execute perfectly and then just fall apart?  Can't adjust. Lack of coaching or players that will listen.

HAHA omfg...how dense are you? We lost because of terrible shooting in the second half. Kansas scored 2 more points in the second half than they did in the first. It wasn't a "Whoa they totally adjusted".

Adjustments for what!? What adjustments did everyone want them to make?

Kansas did not exploit us in the second half. They literally scored almost the same amount. We missed a ton of decent / good shots...

Yeah but rocky, we didn't adjust or make adjustments for their amazing offense in the second half...

I don’t know how you let a team piss away a lead on a 0-22 run without at least calling a time out. Guy can’t coach. He can recruit, but can’t coach.

I guess you missed the 2 timeouts Wojo called...

Again... what adjustments?

And he did call a time out... you can't come on a forum and make shiz up... Ellenson can text, but can't comprehend.

In the postgame handshakes, I could’ve sworn I saw Self quote Alec Baldwin from “Glengarry Glen Ross” to Wojo:  “You see, pal, that’s who I am.  And you’re nothing.”

At least, that’s what he should’ve said.

Agree this outcome didn’t change the temp of Wojo’s seat but he does share some blame with a lack of adjustments. KU clearly  defended us off the 3 point line (which we all knew they would) and Wojo did nothing to attack the paint, cut, etc.

The problem is that Marquette really only scores one way. They don’t have players who attack the basket with any consistency. So when a good team like Kansas shuts down your outside shooting, you don’t have a back up.

This is more about Wojo the recruiter. They are still struggling with this. Hopefully Elliott comes back and Cain and Bailey grown into their roles.

He called multiple time outs.

I literally can't believe people are okay with this result. I'm honestly shook. Kansas made adjustments and went on a 22-0 run and we didn't score for 10 minutes and people are okay. Is this the DePaul forum?

Did you see anything from Wojo that suggested he could coach? I saw a coach that told Sam and Markus to shoot whenever they could and hoped for the best. Every time a player caught the ball it was 1-5. No actual offense. Defense is the same it’s been for 5 years.

I’m encouraged. Defense was good. Lawson is simply a stud.

Win Friday and I’m good with the trip.

Just need Markus to start playing within the offense. Whether that’s less of the ball in his hand and more in Chartouny and running plays for the Hausers or putting him on the pine until he learns to read the court if we get that we’ll be top 3 in the BE.

Fair, could have slashed and gone to the hoop like howard did and get stuffed a few more times. Could have dumped it in to theo. Could have had guys get to the hoop and miss layups like Joey and Sacar did...

FJM - fair point that ku scores the same.  I don’t agree that the team took decent or good shots in the second half.  Our O never adjusted to Kansas D.

Good effort against a good team but this wasn’t just the result of a cold streak.

5. Disagree second half he just became selfish since the very beginning. He is a junior disappointed by the way he played that half. With JC in he kept being the PG, wtf why have JC in then?
