Honest question did you watch the game?

The 17-2 run that lost Gtown the game was almost entirely Gtown incompetence. If you don’t agree you’re simply an apologist.

Yep.  After the under 4 timeout, Georgetown turned the ball over 5 times.  That's, like, all of their possessions.  Hard to do if you're a high major.

Just when you thought we had reached a tipping point loss, Wojo gets bailed out by a Lewis takeover and embarrassing incompetence from Georgetown.

I’ve never seen a coach so apt at doing the bare minimum to keep his job. Bravo Steve, bravo.
The only way Wojo is going is if someone else hires him away. So we need him to keep winning as much as possible. The new school that hires him won't care if he wins ugly, they are just going to be looking for something to justify the hire.

The good news is these kids will give max effort so we can hopefully eke out enough of these wins to post a winning season. That should be enough to  put Wojo in the top 5 of available coaches come the post covid coaching carousel.

Idiotic
Deonte Burton leaves and becomes a top player on a Top 15 team

Duane Wilson leaves and becomes a top player on a Top 15 team

Joey is the best player on a Top 15 team

Sam is a top player on a ranked team

I’m the idiot... ha. The guy cannot utilize talent. Imagine All American Markus Howard being coached by someone else.

Seeing the team celebrate like this after beating Georgetown is just a sad, sad indictment on where the program is at.

I want to get rid of Wojo any way possible because I am 10,000% convinced he isn’t bringing us anything more than .500 in conference seasons.

I don’t get off to that - no judgments if you do.

No it wasn't. We started attacking the paint every offensive possession which they couldn't stop. We also upped our defensive pressure and forced most of those turnovers. Georgetown incompetence helped but MU still had to step up and win the game.

This is awful.  And pretty tone deaf on the part of MU's social media team.

I’m happy to have a Zoom where we watch the film and analyze every single Georgetown turnover during the 17-2 run. Marquette didn’t “force” anything.

MU played better with Theo on the bench, even though Lewis was horrible from the outside, he did some things that Theo can not do, drive to the hoop. Secondly, Carton and Koby dribble way to much.  Secondly, the group as whole other than Cain were 1-17, can not win that way.  Only played 7 again, not good

Uhhh that Michigan State team is the worst sparty team I have possibly ever seen. And certainly not a top 15 team(currently or anytime soon.)

Are we really attacking the players for celebrating a win now?  If anything this shows the sad, sad indictment of the quality of people that some of our "fans" claim to be.

If you can take any team positives from this game, your name is either John Dodds or Michael Lovell.

I am neither and in my long time on the board I have never, never commented in the hundreds of Fire Wojo, Wojo Sucks, etc. threads until this one.  Just a waste of breath.  I don't care if they fire him, retain him or make him MU President.  There are a lot who are just overly obsessed with it.

My point is the team WON the game and adjustments were made in second half as I pointed out. Maybe Killings made the adjustments, who knows and I don't care. Then come the Georgetown gave it away excuses as opposed to the heart the MU players showed in the second half.  MU won and that's the positive I take from the game.

Maybe those three should gather somewhere and drink their tears. After all, it seems their livelihood rests on MUBB and Wojo's performance.

Celebrating like we won conference, when in reality we only beat Georgetown is a sad scene.

Why is it tone deaf??

The team was pumped up after coming back on the road down 18 and the social media team posted it.

It was a big comeback and hopefully based off how pumped up the team is, will lead to a turnaround.

Lol what?

What do you think they should post?  Just a grim picture and a final score?
 
Look it was a fun second half.  They stepped up when they had to. Just enjoy it.

They’re 7-3 and ranked 17 in the country. You may think they suck but unfortunately for you you don’t get a Top 25 vote.

Imagine 18-22 year old kids playing during a pandemic wanting to celebrate a comeback win regardless of the quality of the opponent. How dare they.

This. The players played their asses off in the 2nd half and came back from 18 down. There's natural elation in a win in those circumstances regardless of opponent.

Horrible optics from the OP.

So so stupid.

They won. They’re happy they won. So am I. Not making it any greater than that. It was a fun second half.

You’re not obviously. Sad.
