So.... shut the whole thing down, Willie?
Never said that, but you just did.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

I think Tower is onto something.  Shut it down until a Scoop approved coach is hired.

09 they played 3 NCAA 1 seeds and a 3 seed who won the BET. Maybe the toughest end of regular season ever.

Often wondered how we would've done in that stretch had james been eligible. I know we were solid but we did have some concerning losses (Dayton, South Florida). We hadn't really hit the hard stretch of the season yet till he went down.

But wait...what about all the posts here that Wojo has MU trending in an upward trajectory? Something does not seem right with one of those analysis.

You're right, we already know we will be worse than this past season.  Let's not even play the season.

Shutting the whole thing down would be a bit too far. However, we certainly didn't need to extend Wojo's contract.

Symbols and timing matter.  It was a vote of confidence from the administration which will help counter negative recruiting about his job status.

As tower was hoping for, here is Ed working on his jump shot.

He will be playing at the same time as Theo and JJ.

A completely symbolic gesture to help with recruiting. No big deal I’d they want him out after next year.

Coach Johnson needs to get his hands up to contest. ;D.   Ed is going to play some 4.  The pieces sort themselves.

I didn't see Ed attempt a single shot outside of 6 feet during either of the open practices I watched last year. It's good to see him working to expand his game -- even if he's still the 4th or 5th option on offense.

If Theo and Ed can both hit the 12-15 ft jumper with any kind of consistency, the overall offense will be just fine.

Almost all of our wins in the first half of the season were nail biters. The second half did not go so well. Maybe the team just was not that good.  Maybe the team can be better with out the Hausers.

Yes, it was a tough stretch....Crean left him a loaded team and if Tyshawn hadn't left, who knows what that team could have done.  Also, a few weeks earlier we also lost to South Florida if I recall.   My point was the mythology that all of Buzz's teams finished the regular season without faltering wasn't always the case.

What in the world makes you believe that Theo AND Ed can hit 15’ jumpers with consistency? Neither one have ever done it in their careers and I don’t see that changing. But, I would certainly welcome the sharp shooting tandem to take this team to the next level.

I'd bet the under on anything in the double digits in field goals made from outside of 10 feet from either Theo or Ed next season.

I don't expect them to suddenly channel Novak or the Hausers.  A little Damon Key would be nice.  And I never discount the possibility of season to season improvement.

I still don't get how anyone can possibly think MU will be anything special next year. It's still so depressing to me to think about what they WERE going to be next year with Sam and Joey...I'm not saying they will be bad at all, but considering what they were going to be, next year is sure to be a major let down.

Then it would have been a major let down either way. Wojo failed to keep that team’s chemistry at a high level. It’ll at least be a different team next year. One that will hopefully mesh better than last year’s team.

Maybe so, but NOT as talented, and that's a problem

The team is going to be tremendous this coming season. The guys are going to work so much better together and  the team will be so much more athletic.   The Big East is going to be tougher this year and the line up we have will be able to compete very well. Team Chemistry matters.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Chemistry matters Herman, but you know what else matters immensely?? Talent matters..Yes, the BE is going to be tougher, and that would have been fine if MU still had all their pieces, but they don't, so instead of a possible BE championship, we are probably looking at a 5th place finish at best?? I want to believe Jamal and Brendan improve enough to make a difference(and believe me I hope they do), but there is zero chance they can come close to replacing what Sam and Joey would have brought.

They may be able to compete well...but how many games will they win?? That's what ultimately matters.
