Big East Conference BET Results

[MU82]

3 losses in a row? Including the biggest game of the season at home? Fire Jay Wright!

Creighton losing big to "crap team" Providence? Fire McDermott!

Nova tried hard Saturday and lost at home. They won't try any harder Wednesday at home against us.

Each game is its own deal. We're gonna beat 'em Wednesday, but first take care of Butler tomorrow.

Seton Hall sucks

Does this really have to happen every time a very accomplished coach loses? 

In my opinion, it doesn't help to make any point regarding Wojo to compare him to coaches that have multiple Final Fours and National Championships on their resumes. 

Jay Wright has more NCs than Wojo has Tourney wins.  How are they comparable at all?

It just gets exhausting that every MU loss is accompanied by a dozen (at least) "Wojo is the worst ever" posts, and that most wins are dismissed by "Oh, they are a crap team we should have beaten anyway."

So I guess this is my intentionally over-the-top counter to it.

Which is just as exhausting.  So...congrats???

It has gotten a little obnoxious at this point. It's great that you are a strong Wojo backer, but, when you consistently do this thing with very accomplished coaches - it rings hollow.

The frustrations and complaints here will markedly decrease once Wojo gets us to a Sweet 16, Elite 8, etc. the patience/tolerance leash gets much longer at that point.

And the reverse, when Wojo loses a game (players usually lose by the way) do we need the histrionics from some here.   Right back at you.

Then shut your mouth until March comes around where he has a chance to actually do it.....otherwise it is obnoxious and exhausting.

I will try to do this less because I understand that ...

... oh wait ...

Fire Bob Huggins!

[mileskishnish72]

For what?

Cuz the PC game was won, then blown. My point being I thought that loss was worse. But, to each his own.

Nothing what I said in your quote was incorrect. It was a back and forth game and one that we trailed more often than led.

The game wasn't blown. Dude hit a tough shot he doesnt normally hit.

[mileskishnish72]

Yeah I wanted a Nova win there.

I was never expecting victory on Wednesday but really hard to see them losing 4 in a row with 3 of them being at home.

THey will be due to make it rain, which is kinda the norm for us on the road. Face teams/players when they blackout.

Agree, except that a Nova loss gives us a shot at second.

We'll need to bring it Wednesday.
My only hope is that we're 7 - 4 when we meet them.

Well that is definitely true, so fair enough.  But should making this place as obnoxious as possible be the goal?

SMH, this gets so exhausting reading this every single time a Coach loses a game. Look, you're going to counter with "it gets equally exhausting reading fire Wojo after every loss". Me personally, I have said numerous times, my biggest issue is losing games at home against teams you should absolutely beat. like Providence. If you think this is exclusive to MU fans and this board, I suggest you "get out more" and read other message boards. In fact, I was on the Memphis board earlier...and guess what?? They went Penny gone, and have said that it is INEXCUSABLE to lose games at home to South Florida, SMU and Georgia. All teams they feel they should have/and expected to beat at home.

Go visit the Indiana board and see what they are saying about losing to Purdue at home today( a team that couldn't win a road game to save their life this year). It goes on everywhere Mike.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, there is nothing that makes me more pissed off following my favorite teams then when they drop a game at home to someone they had no business losing to. Because almost inevitably it ends up costing you something significant at the end of the year. It's uncanny, how it's correlated. Just one quick example from this very season in the NFL...The Packers only home loss this year was to the Eagles, a team that had no business walking into Lambeau and winning. I was pissed, I knew at the time it would cost them something significant..Lo and behold..guess what?? They win that game, they play the NFC Championship game at home instead of in SF.

You're a Coach, so you should know this, but ask any Coach in any sport, and they will tell you the #1 most important thing you can do is win games at home. Especially against teams you have no business losing to. Now you will say (it happens...Duke vs SFA). Sure, it happens, but me personally, I couldn't care less about who else loses to who on their home floor/field. It does NOTHING to make me say "oh well then that Excuses the Packers or MU for losing that game at home to (insert crap opponent). I want my teams to be better than that.

It is 100% complete fallacy and not even possible to do when people say "well, they just have to get that back on the road somewhere". Doesn't work like that. Once you lose a game at home, there isn't anything you can do to "make up for it". Nothing, it's gone. It's like people who say "I gotta catch up on some sleep". That's an impossibility, once you lose it, there's no "catching up" or getting it back.

Had MU not lost that game at home to PC...where would they be right now?? 6-3 and with a win tomorrow, in 2nd place, and only two games behind Hall for 1st...that's doable. But instead, they are tied for third currently and 3 games behind Hall...a significant difference.

So yes, losing games at home to teams you have ZERO business losing to is maddening, frustrating and it infuriates me(and obviously fans from other schools to). Again, it will almost always end up costing you something by the end of the year.

You're wrong.

It's OK when the Anti-Wojo crowd makes new threads and posts.

But if someone who just wants to point out "WE DONT SUCK!" Everyone complains. Get over it. Teams lose. Go dunk somewhere else. You're weak.

[fjm]

And the reverse, when Wojo loses a game (players usually lose by the way) do we need the histrionics from some here.   Right back at you.

YES WE DO! Cause ners says so. So yes. 🥴

It has become "don't look at other optics. Only look at negatives!"

I find it hilarious. It exposes the goofy people's reaction to a single game. Keep it comin
