I can say I love winning allot  more than loosng. Being wrong about Wojo is exactly what I hoped for but did not expect. What a a wonderfully pleasant error on my part. Should all my errors feel so good. I like them more than being right.

I appreciate that coach prioritized the Badger rivalry, we go balls to the walls for these games.

I appreciate the sentiments expressed here by many who had been critical of Wojo but now appreciate the way he has improved as a coach.

Overall a great execution by the team, which means the plan was there and adjustments made - so kudos to the players for 40 minutes of  D and enough offense to win, and Wojo and staff for having the plan and making right choices.  Great, meaningful win!

Any that haven't watched the McEwen Inside Marquette BBall episode should.  Given pre-season reports, and his attitude, I think we'll be happy with him handling the rock next year.

Great video. Going to love that kid.

I actually think Wojos ability to elevate another big dog on O will define the season.  That will both restrain Markus but also force flow in offense.

Joey your table is ready.

Yeah, I guess that's kind of what I meant, Markus is great and is going to (single-highhandedly) win us a bunch of games. But there will be other games this year that he could single-highhandedly lose us. Wojo has to have schemes in place to put Joey or Sam (or even Sacar?) in the feature.

I thought it was hugely ballsy (and well done) of Wojo to sit him for those 4 or 5 minutes in the 2nd half - and we got the lead back. But I have to admit, I almost wanted Wojo to keep him on the bench as long at that 5 was keeping a positive margin.

But let me say - was a great game to watch. We finally look like a *tough* team again. If we can keep playing like this it'll be a fun season.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

And the first sentence of the article on ESPN is:

Sam looks really pissed that Markus shot a lot, eh?

I've been pleased with how Wojo has managed things since Kansas. In both of our two losses, teams chased us off the three-point line and forced us to diversify the offense. We weren't able to effectively do that either time.

In the three wins of significance since, we haven't had any games where we really shot the three that well (below 40% against UL, KSU, UW-M) but we were able to find other ways to score the basketball. Against Louisville, we went inside a lot more. Kansas State, we kept attacking downhill, got inside, took advantage of some loose whistles, and were able to stop the second half run quickly. Against Wisconsin, we hammered them on second chance points. And our defense has been consistent throughout.

Not all of my nerves are settled yet, but I have to tip my cap to Wojo on finding ways to adjust offensively on a game-by-game basis when teams are clearly gameplanning to take Howard out of the game and to chase us off the three-point line.

Well said, and I agree with every word. We are not a one-dimensional offense any more. And for that matter, we are not a one-dimensional team any more because we can play a little D and rebound. And for that, the coach definitely deserves some credit. Maybe a ton of credit.

Was Markus trying to throw a lob to Morrow on that last shot in regulation?  It appeared that he, Joe and Sam approaches Morrow before they got to the bench.  Wasn’t sure if that’s why the shot was double clutched or slightly off

Great to see 45 minutes of toughness. WOJO has this developed this team substantially. The team is buying into defense and driving the basket to generate free throws. WOJO also for the first time in my memory looked like an elite game coach. Glad he is at Marquette.
