Pivot (al) Moments

[tower912]

1.   Dragging your feet will always be a travel.    All 7 times in the first half.   
2.  Poor defensive rebounding.
3.   Poor shooting.
4.   Letting the glue guy tie you into Pritzl's on the floor.   He was tougher than our guards today. 
5.   It looked like Markus was playing to not be accused of being selfish.    He also drove like he wanted the contact call.   It is in Madison.   That call isn't coming that often.   Kept waiting for video game mode.   Didn't happen.   
6.   Sacar, Ed, Brendan.    The team needs more.   I will call it a bad day, because I don't believe in throwing anybody under the bus in November.    But it wasn't good today. 
7.   GE is only going to get better.   I am starting to believe he actually would have started last year.    It sure seems like his return has helped Jamal regain some confidence.
8.   If Theo can't guard Ruevers in space, I don't know how he is going to be part of the two big line up.    Ed, Jayce, or Theo are going to have to be able to guard in space. 
9.  Koby is the second option.    Need a third.   
10. First road game of the year.    Sucks losing to Wisconsin.   
11.   Walking away from scoop now for the rest of the day.     Maybe some Hallmark Christmas movies.    Or maybe a nice working structure fire to work off my frustrations.    Mmmmm, breaking stuff.

Pretty mediocre team we've got here. Will win more than they lose and get something like a nine seed. Markus will go off occasionally. That will be fun. But really they are going to struggle too much to score.

[MUCrew]

Ugh. Lame! 

[HowardsWorld]

It is what it is guys. We were not going to win them all. Obviously sucks to lose to Wisconsin and by the margin we did but we move on. I feel that we will win out the remaining non conference games. Team still needs to work out its kinks on offense but Howard had one of those days.

[goldeneagle91114]

Hate to say it. But we really missed the Hausers today.

[PointWarrior]

Is that kindle wood accumulating near wojo's seat?

[warriors141]

badgers run an offense and we do not.

when markus is this bad we will not win

sacar and ed stunk and seemed to have not improved at all. same with bailey, but the previous guys are seniors

lacked toughness today, team is way weaker than buzz's teams

we are not vey good and the product is poor, if this sustains under wojo the Marquette fan base will start getting used to mediocrity

Lol no

[HowardsWorld]

It was one game. They will regroup.

[Smokin' Jae]

UW shot really well in the second half and that's tough to overcome on the road. Was encouraged by what I saw from Jamal, Greg, and Koby. This team goes as Sacar does and today he was not good.

[Warrior of Law]

I had low expectations for this season and it only lowered after this disaster. It wasn't just a bad game, but this team has no talent but for MH.

[NickelDimer]

Overall I actually like the makeup of this team but I don't understand Wojo's gameplan. We had opportunity after opportunity to dump the ball off to a big for an easy bucket and instead kicked it out or forced a tough shot. It's like our bigs are there to do nothing but set screens on offense. I have the same questions about Wojo the coach that I had his first season.

[GoldenDieners32]

Every game we lose we will all say "we missed the hausers"

The fan base has been used to mediocre for a while now.

I am hoping this game is an aberration, but i am afraid this is what we have this year. Pretty much embarrassed today by an average at best Wisconsin team.

[BM1090]

It happens. Sucks it happened today. Bounce back on Saturday, beat Davidson to get to 4-1 and we're all good.

Burn the black jerseys

This is wholly untrue. Lots of talent. Koby, Greg, Cain, and Theo are all great players.  The offensive system is a disaster. Sacar had his shot tweaked and it is a mess.

That's a very liberal usage of the word "great."

You have a different definition of great than I do.

When you're getting wide open looks that's going to happen.

[nyg]

Bailey has had the unique opportunity to seize and maintain a starting forward position.  He was not very good for the first 80% of the games last year, but sort of came on at season's end.  This year so far has been a disaster.  He has 3 total points in 3 games and has made one basket.  Hope Wojo discussing with Dawson Garcia and showing him, this position is all yours next year, especially with Anim leaving.

The frontline of Bailey, Theo and Anim had a total of five points today, going 1 for 11.  Combine that with an off day from Markus, going 0 for 11 in second half.  1 for 22.  Ugly and not many wins will occur if production like that continues.

Very liberal use.   Wow

[Goose]

There is one high level player and a bunch of role players. The remaining guys are not high level D1 players and the coach does not have the game to coach them up.
This is Wojo's program and at some point he has to be evaluated on overall team success. I do not see a great of progress in the state of the program.

So much for holding off on judging the team for more games
