Yeesh not a great year for preseason hype

Good news if there isn't a season

Good news if there isn't a season

That was my thought seeing the Badgers as a 2 seed.

Creighton overrated. UConn underrated. St John's really underrated.

MU overrated.

[wadesworld]

MU overrated.

You literally said you agreed with where MU is rated a couple minutes ago in a different thread. Be consistent at least.

Agreeing with a guy who picks them 7th in the Big East conference and disagreeing with a different guy who has them a 10 seed in the NCAA tournament is not being inconsistent.

Creighton overrated. UConn underrated. St John's really underrated.

MU is really a big time overreach here.

[bilsu]

MU is really a big time overreach here.

I totally agree with this.

How can this be?  BLM insisted that Gard was only effective because he had Bo Ryan's players.  Last year Gard's team finished the season on an 8-0 run.  And projected for a 2 seed next year?  And we project 7th in an 11 team league in Year 7 of the mediocrity experiment of Wojo having "all his guys?"  Say it aint so.

Clarification, BLM is not Black Lives Matter, literally, it is the poser formerly known as Wadesworld.  Then again BLM is a more appropriate username for the guy who always gets the premise wrong.

Greg Gard has accomplished a lot with his own players. 

Here's another great thread with BLM once again so far off the mark:

In that topic, this post really triggered BLM.

I also think Wojo is being judged "harshly" THIS SEASON so early into it, because of the lack of success of past seasons.  Patience is wearing out. 

You know what else is true?  Greg F'in Gard is kicking Wojo's ass as a coach.

Beyond a 2 seed in a June Bracketology (congrats Greg!) and a couple Tourney wins with all of Bo Ryan's players, what had Greg Gard accomplished? Pretty similar results to Wojo.

Let's make a bet. UW over/under at a 2.5 for their NCAA Tournament seed. I take the over. You want the under? Charity of the winners choice benefits.

Regular season Big Ten title this year.

Regular season Big Ten title this year.

So he finished in a 3 way tie for first the year after Wojo finished alone in 2nd in the BE.

Again, pretty similar results to Wojo.

A conference regular season championship, even if it is shared, is better than finishing second.  Just what Marquette did in 2012-13.

You asked.  I answered.

Yes. It's better, but it's not exactly "kicking Wojo's ass" in coaching. It's slightly better.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Gard may have changed my mind after last year's finish. I thought with Kobe King transferring they would spiral but they pulled it together in a big way. I'm not as high on them this season as the national pundits are but we will see.

Wisco also had the easiest schedule in the B10 last year. It's an accomplishment, but needs to be put in some context when you have an unbalanced schedule format.
