Brand new season, same old Wojo.

[fjm]

SOSDD.  Sorry to say.

And I know it's the first half but it's the same deficiencies we've endured for years now.

Get this weak sauce outta here you Purdue fan.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I posted after one half because I see the exact same deficiencies that have existed for YEARS.  That is very frustrating.

Years? Years ago I remember a team that could scorch the nets but was literally one of the three worst defenses in Division 1.

This season I see an elite defense and team that if it struggles anywhere is on offense.

What have you been watching?

[warriorchick]

TL;DR.

I was too busy celebrating the win.

[f/k/a humanlung]

I will be the first one to admit I am wrong if what we see over the course of the season is consistent with what happened in the second half tonight.

I will be happy to do it as I will have been proven wrong about Wojo and that will mean we had a great year.

I have said this all along.

Cheers.

What you saw tonight was a gritty team effort that resulted in a huge comeback victory against a quality opponent.
And Wojo outcoaching the reigning NABC and Big 10 coach of the year.
The fact that you're continuing to whine makes you look so much dumber than your initial post, which at least can be somewhat excused by some heat-of-the-moment frustration.

Perfectly stated.

Another pathetic "fan."

Expect a contract extension soon, aina?

Doc, you were quick to jump and reply to this.  What, no praise for the team after this game?

[pbiflyer]

Agreed. What an idiotic thread.

Not at all. It was nice of him to create one single thread to ID people to ignore. Also convenient place to explain to newcomers what scoop is in a nutshell..

If he lands Dawson then hell yeah.

[MU82]

Doc, you were quick to jump and reply to this.  What, no praise for the team after this game?

That's not his M.O.

Doc likes to get the "victory" cigar ready -- which in his case means get ready to celebrate Wojo losing a game, missing a recruit, etc.

He doesn't like to be even remotely supportive, even when we were 23-4 last season, even after a great comeback win like this, even after signing two outstanding recruits.

Because, you know, Wojo ain't Al.

But hey, at least I'll give him some credit. After cheerleading the asinine OP, Doc vamoosed after it was obvious the OP had embarrassed himself.

[Dr. Blackheart]

If he lands Dawson then hell yeah.

I thought praise or admitting you're wrong  here is a TOS violation.

[TallTitan34]

Hahaha you f'in trolls jumped the gun on this one.

[Archies Bat]

At least Lung stayed and owned his comments.  And 4ever has, at times, been up front about his feelings on Wojo.

A lot of other posters on page 1 of this thread are now MIA.

[We R Final Four]

Brand new season, same old scoop.

Holy crap...is this true.
Made the mistake of the gameday thread to see if Sacar was concussed...
Haha....I read that the team should be embarrassed because a 5 star recruit maybe watching.
Purdue is in Indiana, right?

[Porky's Butthole]

Helluva comeback!   Still, Porky shares many of Humanlung's concerns.  Great teams don't allow themselves to get down by 18 points in the first half on their home court, and the fact that they allowed themselves to get in that situation in the first place is a big Asterix next to this W as far as Porky is concerned.

Hopefully they just had The first big game jitters.  Wojo said as much in his post game interview with Homer.  He said no disrespect to Loyola but a team like Purdue is on a completely different level and they, having played Texas already had been through a game like that this year already whereas we hadn't and it took us a half to get acclimated to that level of play.   

Does anyone know why the live stream of the radio broadcast was blacked out on the ESPN app? It never was in previous years and Porky being an East coaster, had to download some tune in radio app that costs 10 bucks a month to listen to the post game interview with Wojo.

Tune In is free - they have a premium option (which is likely the $10/mo), but I don't think you need that to hear the MU games.  Make sure to cancel that. It seems like ESPN stream online hasn't been working well - maybe I missed that contract change....

Anyhow, here's the free Tune In station...

Well - early season it's hard to figure out how great a team is going to be.  FFS, Kentucky was just embarrassed last night - by Kenpom #169 team (before the win).  Even after Purdue going 1-2, Ken still has them the #9 team (above MU's #13), so I'd expect them to pick it up this year.  MU may still be great this year - no asterisk from me in a win - one that involved a GREAT comeback.

An extremely positive Rocky? What's going on tonight?

Do you have me confused with hilltopper during one of his low arbys sugar episodes?  I think I'm usually positive and optimistic.  Though I rarely post about hoops, lol.

Maybe it was Topper who went on a couple tirades last season.

Self imposed 5 beef and cheddars to the communal fund for my error.

This.

Great teams lose sometimes, and sometimes they even lose big.

Al's championship team was humiliated a couple of times during the season. Buzz's teams always had a horrible loss or two.

We won the effen game, beat a likely NCAA tourney team from the B14 after falling behind by 18 points. Showed a lot of guts, played some great D, and shot just well enough in the second half. Got nice contributions from several players, and Markus did not try to be a 1-man show.

We had a bad, extended stretch in the first half. Otherwise, a very satisfying win against a good opponent.

[BCHoopster]

Certain games you have to win to build your resume, beating Purdue helps.  MU has a great November schedule,  having senior leadership is
important.  McEwen really is a senior, Anim is a grad senior,  Theo a junior,  Markus a senior, Jayce Johnson and Ed Morrow grad seniors.  Bailey
is like 22 as a soph and Cain a junior.  The only player left that played some minutes is Elliott who is soph but a junior as well.  Probably one of
the most experienced teams in the NCAA.  Showed in the second half, teams in the past might have folded.

Is Kentucky a great team...they never let their opposing team get them down by 18...

[bradforster]

What. A. Comeback.
