That was fun

None - no online sports betting in WA.  Today, I likely would have bet on MU especially with Butler player out due to injury. 

How much money did you put on Butler?

Wojo said in the post game that they are looking for an opponent to play during the 10 day break. Sounded like it kind of depends on the health of the team and if they can get an opponent that would make sense.

Interesting.....any good options?

Cannot say anything negative about MU played tonight. They played well. As for Butler, that is a poor team and I would take Wojo's program over Butler. I noted several years ago that Butler did a great job of keeping things rolling after BS left and sooner or later it would catch up to them. I think that Butler will revert back to a bottom half BE program moving forward. Not great news for BE.

UNC was on twitter yesterday looking for a home game.

That would be fun.

Nice to see the team play well.
Great energy from Greg.  I think with several of these players their confidence goes away for one reason or another and they play poorly but when they are confident they can be quite good.  Greg was the example of that against Butler.

Having said that, it was like watching an early season buy game quality-wise, but I still watch early season buy games and enjoy them too.  So, a conference win on the road?  Even in a bad season, that's a good thing.

Butler is bad.  MU was less bad on this occasion.

They got Northeastern. Apparently Xavier tried and was refused. Value wise, our best case would probably be to host a bubble team that needs a win in the first two quadrants. MVC, MWC, or A-10.

Is the previously canceled Georgetown game getting made up?

[cheebs09]

That was shocking.  Announcer said "good sportsmanship" which is 100% true.  But also a dumb move if you want to help your team win games.  Still not sure what to think of it.

Eh. He then pressed down 25 and started fouling. Similar to what they did when Markus got hurt that started our slide in 2019. I think he's gotten some criticism for that practice.

How do you bitch when they lose and then bitch when they win.

Be grateful that it is February, which has been statistically proven to be the month when Willie and 4ever and their ilk bitch the least.

Frozen pipes?

Frozen pipes?

Nope. Time factor. They're always bitching, but it's only 28 days long.

[4everwarriors]

C'mon man, I've heard more bitchin' from the peanut gallery this month. Some of us have been way ahead of the curve, hey?

[Mr. Nielsen]

I get the feeling from Wojo in the postgame, that if Georgetown doesn't get scheduled, a non-conference will. Can't be a fan of a 10 day lay-off.

[Galway Eagle]

So at this point would he rather get closer to a .500 record or a shot at another win so he can say "we had some great wins, extend me!"

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

'Dear God, please never let me get so bitter, jaded, cynical, and angry that I can't enjoy a 20 pt conference road win.  Amen'

And be two of the first in line! Amazing.

[frozena pizza]

The best thing I saw last night was that we got a big lead early and never really let them back in it.  Too many times this year we have good stretches and then seem to lose the intensity.  Sure Butler is not great but I'll take a double digit road win over a conference opponent in late February anytime.

I want him to go, but this team could use a game within the 10 day layoff.  I think it is smart to schedule something if we can get it.

[GoldenWarrior11]

That would be the school and coaching staff's ideal scenario.  Win against Butler, win against Georgetown/additional game, win against DePaul and maybe win the BET Wednesday game. 

It would effectively force the school to bring back Wojo and staff for one more season (winning four of the last six games) and not have to justify paying the buyout and getting a new coach.

That would be disappointing on many levels.

The ever popular press conference.   

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Gtown plays twice between now and our next game. Don't think fitting them in is really an option.

[NickelDimer]

No matter how shiiity of a season a team is having a win is ALWAYS a great feeling for the players who bust their ass. I'm happy for those kids.

100% agree.

Uconn, UCLA (although ref show was annoying there), OK state..the list goes on. Maintaining intensity has definitely been an issue for the team this year. I didn't get to watch, but it sounds like this was a good one.

Still in the "move on from Wojo" camp, but still want the team to win and maybe get a tourney shot.
