Oh hey, I know the answers to these questions.  Will there be prizes for those who answer all correctly?

Smitty - Chick was making statements not asking questions. I know how eager we all are to "name names" of malcontents (and in other threads bigots, homophobes, misogynists, xenophobes, date rape supporters, evil doers, conservatives, etc.) but you're out over your skis on this one.

Also, there are segments of the fanbase who also possess one or more of the following traits:

1. Consider any result below a Final Four appearance a crashing disappointment
2. Believe their armchair coaching decisions are far superior to any of those of the actual coaching staff
3. Are never happy unless they are miserable

All of these are general truths that can be applied across nearly all of the internet. I think most of the surprise is that it also infects the "best and brightest" minds of Marquette students/alums, because we are all well aware of the existence of these kinds of people outside of Scoop.

Don't worry Lenny, you only got one third place vote on one question.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

I think we saw things to justifiably be concerned about, primarily the inability to make adjustments to IU's start or KU's second half chasing us off the line.

Since then, Wojo went inside more against Louisville, KSU, and Wisconsin. We also went right at KSU in the foulfest to take advantage of their shorter bench and adjusted to Happ tearing us up with passing by stopping the doubles and taking everyone else away. I would also give Wojo credit because most of the improvements we've seen since the Kansas second half have been of the coaching variety. Hope that continues.

 I think we've seen a lot more flexibility on Wojo's part this year than any year so far. It took a few games for it to sink in (for coaches and fans alike), but it seems that we just won't be the same offensive juggernaut this year that we have been in the past. Now that we've seen how we can play when we score inside and get to the FT line, we have some new life on offense. I like it. Changing things up when Plan A isn't working out is needed, and Wojo has done a great job of that in the last couple of weeks.

Now that the tape is out there for our conference opponents, let's see how well we can do at additional adjustments as defenses come out with new gameplans. Hopefully we'll see more of the same kind of flexibility in the next 3 months.
