U-Conn't always get what you want

[tower912]

1.   Not enough from the guards.    DJ and Koby were not good tonight, offensively. 
2.   I felt the outcome was inevitable with MU still up 7 at the 10 minute mark when Garcia had an open driving lane and shot and clanked the 24 footer.   After a possession where they swung the ball really well to get a 3 attempt from Symir.   Never, ever swing the ball to get Symir a 3.   
3.  UConn's length is quicker and jumps better.   
4.   Wojo wanted them to pound it inside with UConn foul trouble, you could see it.   DJ and Koby wanted to take over.    And neither one had it tonight.   
5.   What goes around, comes around.    Come from 18 points down one game, give up an 18 point lead the next.     
6.   All 3 seniors sitting with foul trouble for the last few minutes of the first.   
7.   I always felt the run was inevitable.    The only question was whether MU could right the ship and get it going again.   
8.  Polley tonight = Jean Felix. 
9.  Lewis looked like a freshman on the boards tonight.   It happens against athletic teams.  Need a betting pool on when he makes his next 3.
10.   UConn is known for their defensive pressure and their prowess on the offensive boards.     Welp......    Pressure increased, MU went cold.   All she wrote.

And a coach that looked like a deer in headlights again.

11. Dan Hurley>wojo times 100

[The Big East]

Have to play hard for all 40 minutes in the Big East. Can't ever let up.

[warriors141]

reading this is just laughable.........so this is what the Marquette program has become

[swoopem]

Guaranteed Wojo's press conference: "they're a really good team and really well coached". Same thing EVERY press conference.

Has that ever been said about MU? Why is EVERY team we play really well coached and they play really good the night we play them.

Broken record

That was a disaster, no sugar coating that.  Agree, after the back to back three's that took our lead from 18-12 in :30 I had a feeling we were about to witness a total collapse.

Got outcoached in the second half big time. UConn adjusted to everything nicely.

Wojo's typical late season collapse just started a bit earlier this year.

[WayOfTheWarrior]

9 turnovers and a 29 pt swing in 15 minutes...achievement unlocked?

[Galway Eagle]

Louisville 2011, Washington 2010. Not like it's never happened but this was bad reason I'm pretty much apathetic now days.

#2 was spot on. I knew it was over at that point and thought we would be lucky to keep it within 10. We didn't.

[NickelDimer]

You post all that and nothing on the head coach and the role he played in this collapse? Come on.

[Johnny B]

i feel like people are to casual about a loss like this. up 18 and lose by double digits? some people are just like"oops tough game,were good though. on to the next one".

If you aren't on board for firing wojo at this point you are lost forever

Collapse implies we were actually good for an extended period of time.

[jesmu84]

When we tried to play exclusively in the halfcourt, despite building much of our lead with transition points, that's when everything changed.

Sure, uconn started making tons. But our own decision led to what happened.

[Lennys Tap]

Re #2 - when you're playing at home against a not great team and you feel you're out of it up 7 with 10 minutes left - that speaks volumes about where you are as a program.

We flat out panicked on offense. Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble bad shot.

[5DollarPitcher]

Why did we stop forcing Dawson? He was a walking mismatch. Head scratcher from Coach Gotta Have a Certain Water Cup.

There aren't many defending him, but he's here at least through next year, so I don't see the point of ripping him.

Can't wait for the usual post from TAMU "UConn was favored to win so it's okay"

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Tower isn't an idiot, he knows. But there is too much negativity out there these days theres no need for another voice harping on the program.

I've been as patient as anybody here but I really don't need to see Wojo patrol the sidelines anymore, but one, nobody cares what I think, and two, there's no use in disparaging the entire program for it.

So nothing to do but hope for better results this season and hope changes are made in the offseason.

What do you suppose we do.  Complain on a message board about it?
