Did We Miss the Hausers Today?

Did we miss the Hausers today?

Not me. F*ck em.

[Nukem2]

Of course we did.  The team is a work in progress offensively that needs to find its identity.  Hard to overcome the unplanned loss of two significant starters that fast.  Not just about next man up.

[hoops12]

Of course we did, especially Sam! You can't take a three year starter, and second leading scorer/rebounder, out of the lineup and not feel the effects. It was his decision to leave and not fulfill his commitment. I loved him as a player, and those boys come from a great family. However, I choose to focus on the guys that want to be at Marquette! We will have many better days ahead.

Would MU have won with Sam
Would MU won with Joey
Would MU have won with Sam and Joey.

Where's the comedians with the "Letter" jokes.

My goodness, it is just a fit of nausea with the same old context.  Will this continue after every loss for the next three years and will it be like the Tom Crean references 11 years after the fact? 

[f/k/a humanlung]

Any team would miss the Hauser's.

The question is, can the team compensate and overcome it?

Agreed. Anyone who voted 'No' is voting with their heart and not their head. (Which is understandable).

Of course we missed what they could bring. They didn't want to be here. It's a stupid question. Let it go and roll with who's here.

They don't cross my mind while we're playing. Again, f*ck em.

[Nukem2]

Sacar is obviously missing the Hausers.

It's definitely gonna happen after every loss this year due to Sam.  'Tis life.

I never thought about them either during this game. I'm rooting like hell for the guys with Marquette on their chests.

[muhoops1]

They play somewhere else and Trevor is the most celebrated walk-on in history.

The offense has certainly been far less fluid and/or effective this year so far without the brothers.  That's rather provable.

[Cheeks]

Shouldn't the question be which version of the Hausers?  The ones down the stretch last year, no we didn't miss that version.  The early and mid season version...yup.

So which one?

[MUEng92]

I seem to recall multiple games last year where there was no discernible flow to the offense.  And if I remember correctly there were Hausers playing in those games.

Think you answered your own question.

Well, this thread is turning sour on Wojo.

[franklinjerry]

Thanks for the question. I'm so sick of the "We're so much more athletic" without the Hausers. "Team chemistry is so much better" You have the right to say good riddance, but you are ignorant if you say we are better without them. Yes Bailey is more athletic, probably a better defender but who is a better basketball player, more likely to help you win a game?

[Holy hell all time]

Neither of the things you quoted was what you ended up claiming people said.

[mileskishnish72]

Rico, give it a rest. Or I suppose you could do this after every loss.

Kind of hoping for one spot to discuss them than instead of multiple threads.  Silly, I know

[franklinjerry]

I'll type slower. Yes we are more athletic. We may or may not have better chemistry than the end of last year. We are a worse team without one or both Hausers. Difficult to go inside out when you have two fewer "out" options. See how Purdue defended Marcus. We are worse off this year. We will be worse off the next two years without Joey regardless of which scholarship player replacers him.  Izzo is not a fool. Joey will be a very good college BB player.

[Class71]

I hate to say it but I miss Buzz.

[Small Orange Soda]

I hate to say it but I miss Buzz.

Consider the sanctions he put us under though.  He left Wojo in a deep hole that we're still trying to dig out of six years later.
