5 year plan

[Charlotte Warrior]

I believe McCaskill and Crawford were both O'Neill players.

definitely ONeill guys

[4everwarriors]

No he doesn't.  Neither do you. 

No one is saying that he needs next year to fully judge him.  I think he's a pretty average coach.  I think many people are saying its dumb to judge THIS SEASON based on the first five games.  I've been very clear since last March what my expectations were for this season.  (Top 4 BE, 5 seed or better in the NCAA tournament.)  I'm not going to write that off yet.  (Ask me in a couple weeks and I may have a different answer.)

I'm also not going to make crap up like "Kansas just wasn't trying" or "we only beat the injured teams" to dishonestly reinforce my position. 

If you want to say "Wojo hasn't recruited enough slashers" or "the defense has been a consistent problem," then yes.  Those are obvious facts that clearly are marks against him.  But the other stuff?  Nonsense.

Sew eye'll ax ewe dis, if UL hands Wojo his ass tonite, duz yo mood change, hey?

Yes.  I said as such earlier.  Most of this will be answered within a couple of weeks.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'd asked earlier but no one answered. I am genuinely curious, how much non-MU college basketball do scoopers watch? And I mean in the past couple of years, not I used to watch a lot in the 70s, 80s, 90s, or 00s.

[Floorslapper]

This is why nobody can take you seriously.

If your poll was a simple straightforward question of whether we make the NCAA Tournament or not and not even asking if we win a game, why is the title of the thread, the question in the poll, and your post in the thread all whether we win an NCAA Tournament game?

Ha.  That's funny.  I'd forgotten how I phrased the poll question.  My bad.  That said, not sure what the issue is with the poll question as it was stated.  A simple black and white question to assess the level of the confidence in our fanbase.

So, not surprised you failed to answer my question:  Does MU make the Sweet 16 this year?  Let's squash this once and for all.  You've told us to #respecttheprocess.  Gard has two Sweet 16's and his team at 11 this year.  Wojo?

[GGGG]

MU does not make the S16 this year and UW might.

Gard had the benefit of a continuity that Wojo did not however.  The question is can Gard maintain it, which should be answered after Happ leaves this year.  Looks like it might be the case. 

[4everwarriors]

If by continuity you mean running Bo's system, I'll agree. Besides, my opinion is Gard's coaching ability is superior to Wojo's. Steve has that "deer in headlights" look and I think it says a lot.

[Room510]

Wojo is making the same mistake with Marcus that he made with Ellenson, which is catering to the star recruit's NBA dreams to the detriment of the overall team.  Marcus is a high character young man who can be a fantastic collegiate scorer, but has very little chance at a successful NBA career.  Unfortunately I don't see this dream ending anytime soon, and MU will continue to underachieve as a result.

MH's gonna make bread playin' hoops, butt likely in some spots like Istanbul or Budapest, hey?

You have MU as a top 5 seed. 1,2,3,4 and 5 seeds all have a pretty good shot at the S16, no?

A lot.

A neutral court loss to UL would not be well received. This is a game most if not all MU fans penciled in as a win.

Very little outside of the tournament. I find the product hard to watch.

That's a common occurrence. Important to remember that when judging our team

Is it, though? Even though I don't watch many of the games, I keep tabs on just about everything in the major conferences.

And when it comes to MU, the breakdowns are so fundamental and repetitive, watching Penn State-Rutgers doesn't change my view of our issues.

You misunderstand me.  It's important to keep in mind that the product is hard to watch. This wasnt me bragging that I watch more college basketball that would be dumb.

In November thru March, if I'm going to watch sports on tv, CBB is my sport of choice.  During Big East conference play, I watch at least parts of a few games a week, and all Marquette games.  As an adult with a job and a social life and other hobbies, I think that's pretty good.

What's your point in asking that question?  That people who don't watch a lot of CBB aren't fit to judge the product Marquette's throwing out there?  Even if I went a season or two without watching a ton of NCAA hoops, I've been watching ball since I was old enough to know what was going on in a sports game.  I know what a good basketball team and ball game look like.

Overall, I don't find the product hard to watch, so I disagree with you.  Maybe I'm in the minority, but I prefer college to the NBA.

I prefer it too. The amateurism is a part of the reason why.  It's important to compare them to other college basketball teams.

Yes.  But they won't.

Not just running Bo's system.  But players and coaches both knowing what to expect. 

[Herman Cain]

I agree with this analysis.

Yet Gard and Wojo head to head....
