Not taking sides one way or the other in the argument, but.....

I simply will point out that someone as slow and unathletic (relatively speaking) as Sam could never have as high of a usage rate as Markus.

Yes, you are absolutely right and thank you. This concept that anyone could just suddenly get 33%[of the shots is crazy. Even in Markus worst shooting night if the year vs Seton Hall, watching him get to the line for 24 free throws was something else. Just running down the court and finding bodies to foul him, and so frustrating opponents into technicals while doing so. Yes, he should have passed off on the last shot, but they never made that run if Sam we're trying to find a way to get to the line that many times in the closing minutes.

Keep in mind this isn't a knock on Sam - I rank him almost as valuable as Markus for the year (Markus dropped from 6th to outside the top 20 from the time he went down on his wrist end of February.

The only way Sam could have created as many shots as Markus would have been to have a quarter if his shots rejected.

The shame for me is they were the perfect complement to each other - like Dominic James driving and creating the one year he had Novak to kick it out too.

Some observations:

1. Does any other university get as many "silent verbals" as Wisconsin?  Which then inevitably fall through?  Such bad luck...

2. Greg Gard = Wisconsin's Hank Raymonds continues to ring true

3. The delusion of rodent fans is absurd.  The Hausers' committed to Wisconsin, but 1) Stephanie Hauser is a bitch who made the decision that they had to go elsewhere, 2) Their credits wouldn't transfer because Marquette is such a bad school, and 3) Big MU donors paid the Hauser family to go anywhere but Madison.  Did I miss any?  They only one I didn't see them trot out was that the Hausers were worried about some 324th ranked prospect taking their playing time, so I guess that's progress.

4. Wee willie really, really, REALLY needs to get laid.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

PointWarrior


Yes, you missed:

4)  Marquette fans are such lunatics that the Hausers could not pick Wisconsin for fear of the vile attacks they would get from Marquette fans...

Nice list otherwise :)

and yet, they don't see Marquette as a rival...

Also missed their history of so many players they don't get just happen to have terrible parents....so a strange coincidence.  Wes Matthews mom was annihilated over there, despite being an alum, as was Vander's relatives, Gaines, etc.

As embarrassing as it was to realized I'd checked out this weekend and hear this news from some friends with Wisconsin Badgers magnets on their car at Daily Mass this morning here in AUBURN ALABAMA, I took some satisfaction when the response to my joking "get that Badgers stuff out of a church parking lot," to hear the response, "I can't believe we didn't get the Hauser brothers. One thing I do notice a lot though is those of us who went to Marquette from far away often actually root for the Badgers against other teams and in football just because we really love the state from our time there. Note to self, if the main reason your wife marries you is because she is trying to escape the Wisconsin cold then you are probably never going to convince her - even after more than 30 years of marriage, that it would be fun to live there.

I will take your 50s and 60s this week over our 90s and humidity anytime if anyone wants to trade homes!

The delusion level of the highlighted theory is off the charts.

If we had donors who were willing to give the Hausers enough $$$$$ to go anywhere but Madison, they would have had enough to convince them to stay at Marquette. Hell, we would never have an outbound transfer, except for guys we wanted to offload.

My source was a D1 coach in a P6 conference outside of the Midwest, who said it was Virginia. I figured that was the general consensus within CBB of where they were going.

The title to a journal sentinel article:

"Sources: Hauser brothers no longer plan to transfer to Wisconsin"

When did they ever plan to?

Well good luck to the Hausers.  Be interesting to see the conclusion of Sam's college career and how Joey's college career  plays out.  I believe the motivation was that they felt these moves were the best path to the NBA.  Let's see if their plan works!  In any case, GO MU!

I do not think it was ever about the number of touches.
I am assuming two things come into play here.
1. Hating to lose.
2. Blood is thicker than water.

1. The Hausers and Howard hate to lose, which is a good thing. The problem arose because each side wanted to blame the other side for losing.
2. Sam was going to take Joey's side in any situation and once Markus criticized Joey there was no going back.

"2. Sam was going to take Joey's side in any situation and once Markus criticized Joey there was no going back."


my understanding of markus "criticism" of his baby brother was more of a team thing and motivation.  stuff that happens on teams all the time, especially from captains to freshman.  IF, this couldn't be talked through and joey thought his game was all good, then it's time to go home.  i think wojo was afraid to "man(coach) up" and tell joey to stfu, sit down and learn, i'm the captain of this ship, not your mommy and/or daddy

Sam doesn't want the ball.  He just wants the ball to move.  Watch SPASH, it's beautiful.

Huge miss for MU.

So he blew up his situation moving away from his parents, his girlfriend, his brother to take a 20 month game sabbatical all so he could play 30 games with a team that will remind of his high school halcyon days?

Well done all the way around, Smitty.

Bo is a poor man's version of Al  on numerous accounts. Same with Gard vs Hank.

This is funny, because it would make the Hausers ineligible. UW fans should turn the Hausers in, if they really believe this nonsense

People move away from their parents, girlfriends and brothers all the time - it's called college. Sam is a little late to the game, but the benefits (in his mind) might include a better program, a more prestigious university and a better coach who plays a style he prefers. Don't get me wrong, Lanche, I wish Sam thought ballin' for MU and Wojo  was his dream come true. But it's not, and it's not like he left us for Florida Gulf State or Rutgers.

Well, if Sam rides the pines and has a miserable experience at UVA you (or any of us) saying "I told you so" will be the least of his problems. Anyway, it's his decision.

I would take Marquette any day over Virginia.

I really do not want that for him. But most likely it will happen, just the nature of the beast. Never stop recruiting, hey?
