MU/Nova Game Thread

DePaul is going to sweep us aren't they?

[Bad_Reporter]

The good news is wojo will be gone after this year

[PointWarrior]

Remember the good days when Marquette could keep it within 10 of Nova

[Stretchdeltsig]

Please put this team out of its misery. Fire Wojo. Now.

Doubtful, unless he walks. How much is BC willing pay him?

[nyg]

Nova. 65% from field, 67% from three and 98% from line.  Believe 7 for 9 from three this half.  Oh my.....

Just saw Carton has 6 turnovers, on pace for  Koby's 8 last game.

I used to be the biggest projo ever but the biggest thing for me is this...
1) There are teams that put you on edge and make you uncomfortable while you're on offense because they're so solid defensively and pressure and switch well (St Johns for example).  We don't do that which is why we are awful at creating turnovers and teams score at ease against us.  Also, we get in foul trouble every game because guys are constantly out of position and nobody is helping until it's too late.
2) There are teams that put you on edge and make you uncomfortable while you're on defense because they attack and move off of the ball (think Creighton).  We don't do this either and consistently get pushed off of the 3 point line and get forced into making terrible passes that end up in turnovers.  Also, we end up with terrible shots while the shot clock is winding down because we don't know wtf is going on because 3 dudes are standing around the majority of the time. 

These are coaching issues.  I really don't think the talent on this team is THAT bad.  I like a lot of the game in a lot of these guys.  If they had the right coach I think they would be much better.  There is no aggressiveness or toughness in Wojo's teams since he's been here (how many charges do we ever take?).  I miss the days when we were known for our toughness and fight.  Now, the only time I ever hear about it is when we're down 10 points with a couple minutes left and we're fighting to make it a game.  It's a joke.

This is pretty accurate.   Sad. But accurate.

Perez subs out so he can suck down another oxygen tank

Love to see how pathetic Wojo plays this team, why not go into a 3-2 zone as Theo can not guard at all outside, so stupid

[WarriorPride68]

Marquette bench:

0/6, 0 points in 29 min thus far

He gowne.  Be patient, Billy.

I never thought I'd miss Derrick Wilson, but Carton and McEwen are pushing me that way.

This is as much about MU stinking as it is about Nova's excellence.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Believe Dawson Garcia and DJ Carton are both Top 35 recruits. We just do not know how to play.

You're absolutely correct.  Guys with less talent like even Mike Anderson for example.  He has a scheme in defense with the press and trap.  There is just not "it" factor in any facet of Marquette's game with Wojo.  There is nothing specific that Nova or any of our opponents are afraid of when playing us.

Derrick would at least play D.  Even if he was an offensive liability in ways, he gave effort and could lock down

A lot of them know how to play... it's more about being guided in the right direction as a TEAM to play TOGETHER

Jay is Wojo's daddy

[PointWarrior]

Another loss to DePaul and they may be the worst team in the BE.

[Warrior_2002]

I think you're right and that is unfortunate.  Unless he leaves on his own he is sticking around.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

My 12 year old, with exactly 1 season of organized basketball (5th grade), is screaming at the TV about what MU isn't doing.

He would be a better coach than wojo right now.

[f/k/a humanlung]

Wright has backups in with 7:00 minutes to go?

That's tough to see as an MU fan.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

By my count that is 27 missed bunnies this game

[MuggsyB]

Wow....we're getting thumped and showing Parisian resistance.

[Bad_Reporter]

Hopefully MU can cut it down to 12 with Jays bench playing.  That will show effort.

[Judge Smails]

Nice press MU
