We play tough but not so smart, if we get sped up we get beat, loose balls, rebounding and turnovers
like on the inbounds play

If you want to say the refs missed something on the last play, it was the blatant moving screen on Scruggs' drive

Part of the challenge when it happens is lack of crisp strong ball handlers, ...dribble, catch, pass, when playing with pace. Mistakes get made both physical and mental.

On the other end, today, MU looked confused too often on D, with switching, rotations, etc...

Great effort by Koby. He played great on both ends of the court. We almost won because of him.

As a fan of USC football, it's frustrating to watch the once mighty Trojans flounder to irrelevancy. Clay Helton's buyout is huge. He wins just enough, recruiting is excellent, but rarely do the Trojans go anywhere these days. They are what they are. Now, I'm not saying MU hoops is the equivalent to the once mighty Trojans, but Wojo and Helton are very similar. Wojo wins just enough. Wojo's recruiting is good. Similar to Helton, Wojo represents a private, expensive school well. But, just like USC football, MU basketball goes nowhere...and this season ain't no different. Figure 10-10 in the BE, borderline NCAA team (if there is a tourney) with a quick exit. Next season? Just like at USC with a who-cares 2nd tier bowl bid, MU will rinse & repeat.

Been an USC fan 30 plus years. The difference  is showing that attendance has went down at USC.

Marquette lacks a guy who has an excellent handle.  DJ and Kobe are not a sure thing with the ball, especially in traffic.  Symir has not played enough to gauge, and forget about Jamal & Greg.  Days of guards who were solid with the ball are way in the past.  Diener, Dominic James, Tony Miller, Aaron Hutchins, and Lloyd Walton to name a few.  Would just love us to get a point guard who could decimate a defense and distribute.

While I don't follow USC football, this is a good summary of what Wojo brings to the table.
