SHU-t

[willie warrior]

I'm really not sure what Wojo could have done but left Markus on the bench? But you don't do that to your leader.

Awful performance. Terrible game to sit through. Glad we're helping the Big East teams get into the tournament though! Next up, Georgetown.

And another frigging loss out our ass

[Bad_Reporter]

Maybe he can #GLeagueMe with his bro next year, but I'm tired of Howard trying to get his and killing the flow.

Lol, made me laugh

[NickelDimer]

Markus shouldn’t have been in at the end. The offense was rolling through Sam before he came back in.

I would add not giving Ed the minutes he earned was a terrible job by Wojo. And for the second game in a row Joey has gotten critical minutes late and absolutely killed us

[BM1090]

This place should be a sh*t show the next few days.

Brutal game. Awful last 8 minutes or so. Plus minus with and without Markus has to be staggering today. Worse team with him on the court by a wide margin today.

I guess the only positive I can see is with Govan Georgetown doesn't really have the personnel to do the high hedge/double. And their guards are small so they shouldn't be able to successfully trap.

Please explain the substitution mistakes.  I am curious.

putting markus back in was a mistake. he has been a train wreck during end of game situations. definitely not a calming influence on the floor

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Other teams figured us out. Other coaches figured Wojo out. Wojo needs to find a way to right the ship here. We might be looking at a 7 or 8 seed if we keep this up.

I think 5 is the floor. But dear lord I hope we don’t try to find out.

[CountryRoads]

Missed 17/19 down the stretch but most were very low percentage and bad looks. Team really lacked composure. Why were they shooting desperation shots at the rim with 1:30?

Agreed. Especially at the end when it would be helpful to have the better offensive big man in the game.

Sam missed his last four shots. He took more shots than Markus did down the stretch.

[jutaw22mu]

I think something is going on in the locker room.

Frustrated fans say irrational things.

Sam had a bunch of looks and missed them, so did Joey so did Markus in the last 2 minutes

 no plan? no offensive plays? or the players aren't listening? markus loves to chuck at the end of games....it's bad

[JakeBarnes]

Honestly, the team was better without Markus tonight. But f*ck it is disappointing to watch the team choke leads with dumb play. 3 straight head scratchers where they just fell apart in the last five minutes.

Doesn't look like a team composed enougg to make it out of the first round when the lights shine.

Markus chucked once. He had a wide open one that he should take every single time. Stop being irrational.

[muguru]

You guys can blast me all you want, but I have seen enough...Wojo needs to go...but the administration is under the desk for him so it won't happen, but he is TERRIBLE. This is on him..PERIOD.

[warriors141]

okay, you got me. Markus has been exceptional lately during end of game situations. a calming influence on the floor who values the ball and does not force things, but plays within the offense

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

What should he have done?

[skianth16]

We're already at 26 in the NET without accounting for tonight's loss. I know seeding won't follow the NET exactly, but if it did, a ranking of 26 puts us as a 7. Add in tonight's loss and maybe one more in the BET to a mediocre team, and we could see out NET in the high 30s. Getting a 7 or 8 from that isn't out of the question.

I do think our resume is better than some of the other teams around us right now, so I think we're probably a 4 today. But this loss will hurt, and we may have to rely on some other teams slipping up for us to stay at a 4.

[NotAnAlum]

Team has lost the poise down the stretch they played with Jan and Feb.  That is what is most concerning.
But remember just like Creighton if MU takes care of the ball in the first half they have a 16 point lead at half and the 8 point run in the beginning of the second half puts the game out of reach. 
College BB is a guards game and MU was too reliant on taller slower players who are also go standstill shooters.  When Marcus isn't carrying us we become very slow.  On defense our guys can't keep other teams out of the lane.  Theo compensated for that but now he is either in foul trouble or the other team has figured it out.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Honestly, the team was better without Markus tonight.

There have been several examples of this all season. “Better” may not always be the operative word, but when Markus is bad he takes the whole team with him.

[Newsdreams]

And LOL

[tower912]

10 days ago, people were frustrated Markus wasn't getting more NPOY hype.  Worried he was going pro.  Same guy.  A couple of bad games.

[rocky_warrior]

Markus shouldn’t have been in at the end. The offense was rolling through Sam before he came back in.

+ a lot

This game was under control without Markus.  It started falling apart as soon as Markus came back in.  Maybe coincidental, but sure looked like the difference to me.

(Not taking away from Markus overall, just today I think he should have stayed on the bench)

[HowardsWorld]

This team is a 5 seed after this loss. A 6 with a loss to Georgetown and still a 6 if we lose in the first round. You have to keep in mind that teams behind us lost a lot of games after the selection reveal and we went 4-0 during that stretch. We could still be a 4 with this loss. I am as pissed off as anyone but we still have a solid resume. I think the worst seed we can get at this point is a 6 and that would mean losing out.
