Upsets! / Surprise results.

[Cheeks]

I didn't really know where to put this but did anyone else miss this from a couple seasons ago? Was wondering why no C-USA teams had any games left on the schedule after today with 3 weeks until the start of the conference tournament.

Yes, it was talked about here previously.

Isn't that was buzzard did?

Wojo isn't Buzz.  I can see Wojo leaving but Wake isn't it.

Probably not....Maryland more likely....but the point was coaches have left here for worse situations.

[MuMark]

Buzz and the administration were at odds......so he left.

Wojo isn't at odds with the administration.

It'll be a curious off-season.  Plenty of jobs in the ACC could be open.  He'll get looks

And Crean for that dumpster fire in Bloomington.

Good weekend for upsets. Marquette really should drop at all.

Illinois @ 23 lost  possibly twice losing at Rutgers
LSU @ 25 lost.
Butler @ 19 lost
Virginia @ 14 lost twice
Texas Tech @ 23 lost

[MuMark]

You mean West Virginia........

Dodged a bullet with the whole Shaka thing huh?

It would appear so.

Highest Texas finish in conference was 4th place his first year, when he still had Barnes' players. Second-division every year since.

Last place at 11-22 in Year 2 ... that would have gone over real well for Scoopers! Second-division finish in Year 3 despite having a highly acclaimed recruiting class that included the No. 2 prospect. No NCAA tourney in Year 4.

And now in Year 5, he's 14-11, headed for an even lower finish. Still no NCAA wins.

He obviously can't hack it at the highest level of college hoops. Mrs. Shaka did us a favor.

I don't get it. Is this program the ultimate stepping stone? Like you make a run in the tourney than off to a p5? Any p5? Is wake forest perceived as a significantly better job than here? Idk why a coach wouldn't want to stay here. Great facilities. Pour tons of cash into basketball. Basketball first. New NBA arena. Top attendance when were good. I mean wth lol. Wake forest? Pfff

Alabama tried their best choke away an 18 point lead but hung on to win.

Did somebody actually say Wojo was WF bound? All it's been is fan-site speculation that if Wojo finishes well and if (when) Manning gets fired, Wojo might feel a little unappreciated at Marquette and might want to get back in the ACC. I'd be surprised if he left Marquette for Wake Forest, but I wouldn't be stunned beyond all belief.

But yes, until somebody proves differently, it is a stepping-stone job, as proven by the fact that our last three successful coaches all bolted for what they felt were greener pastures. It's been the very definition of a stepping-stone job, unfortunately.

It is hard to say how much football matters to basketball recruits. However, I imagine there are some recruits that will never consider MU, because they do not have a football team.

Yeah just venting a bit. Sucks. Guess its come here and be given excellent tools to create some consistent success then off to a "real job" like virginia tech or texas am. Wonderful

[We R Final Four]

I believe there will be a coach at MU that completely understands what MU is and offers. Coaches have left here and regretted their decision.
Wojo has said he has felt like a fish out of water in the Midwest. I hope he doesn't feel that way anymore.
If Wojo did leave, I hope Stan gets an interview. Well respected.
I think Stan only sticks around for another year as an assistant.

[Cheeks]

And Crean for that dumpster fire in Bloomington.

Yup.

  i think it might take a little more than that-he's got some good guys coming in to join a pretty decent returning cast-would wojo throw away a chnce to do something pretty special here to start over in a pretty tough conference where a dude named danny manning had trouble recruiting

[rocket surgeon]

i don't think this is an upset, but what the...has happened to MSU??  their scoop has got to be blowin up  check their dorm windows, eyn'a?

[tower912]

Cassius is distracted, no reliable third scoring  option. 

[brewcity77]

Georgetown won at Butler. Georgetown with a depleted roster has been surprisingly good lately. I am impressed with how Ewing is coaching this team.

LaVall Jordan fouling down 9 with 10 seconds to go. Dude just can't accept losing. Classless coach. Georgetown in mid-February isn't an elimination game.

Hilarious msu board if any one is bored

No wonder he wanted Joey to play

Looking for their board?  Where? Thanks, it's a lonely Saturday night

[rocket surgeon]

3rd scoring option?  He didn't go to MSU to be 3rd in line man. Give him the rock and get outta the way 

[CountryRoads]

Always wondered what the huge secret "compelling case for immediate eligibility" was that Izzo was referring to. Seemed like a pretty standard transfer to me.
