Now that Joey has the off-season to hire an agent. What number is he gonna go in the draft?

[MuggsyB]

Wow......just wow!!  Very pleased by this result!!

[Tha Hound]

You really hate to see that

He won't be drafted.

[PGsHeroes32]

Odds Joey is in the Portal by by the end of the opening weekend of games???

[GooooMarquette]

He won't be drafted.

Maybe he should write a letter...

[fjm]

He won't be drafted.

Excuse me?
Have you not heard what mr Hauser believes and his skill set?
And him being the best MUBB player that never stayed?

You're wrong. He's easily going mid first round.

Dear Coach Izzo,

Next season, please do something to get the ball out of the hands of all your bad players so good players like Joey can do all the shooting.

That might sound selfish, but Joey is really only thinking of all the other good players like him.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy Hauser

This is a winner. Well done.

Search "Joey Hauser" on Twitter. Looks like he's wore out his welcome at MSU.

Ouch.

I will sell my 1st edition of Samuel Richardson's Pamela if I can get your original composition of this letter?

[BCHoopster]

Basically Joey took a year off, and did not improve in certain areas, quickness none, jumping ability, plays below the rim.  Passing questionable, shot average, just an average player, rather have Garcia

Back to this opening night ...

I thought I read something about 90% picking Michigan State, so I went with UCLA just because.

I was 3-1 -- I had effen App State. Almost a great comeback to steal it but just not good enough.

Wasn't always pretty basketball tonight, but 3 nail-biters. Looking forward to the "real" tournament starting tomorrow ... even though it's never quite the same when Marquette's not in it. Thanks for nuthin', Wojo!

That's a really bad loss by Mich St.

Wow. That's really rough.

**just some of the top tweets I read**

Joey Hauser plays basketball like those black and white videos you see from when the hoop was a wicker fruit basket.

If you had Joey Hauser with a bad entry pass to end the season, congrats you win, I had a heart attack. I'm dead. I died.

Has there ever been a bigger flop in the history of transfers? What did he do last year? Just eat sausage haus nonstop?

Don't have the stats in front of me but... Hauser had to be -20

Hauser gotta go...

My transfer wish list:
Loyer
Kithier
Hauser
Watts
They simply are not good enough.

[MarquetteMike1977]

At least Marquette made to the round of 64 with Joey unlike Michigan State

[JWags85]

Harry Froling went back to Australia and has become a relatively good player in the NBL. Joey has a similar game.  "Skilled" stretch 4 but kind of slow of foot.  Maybe he needs to head down under

[fjm]

Here you go pissed off MUBB Hauser lovers.

This is a tweet from one of the MSU barstool accounts:

"Is there anyway we can send hauser back to Marquette?"

[MU82]

44-33 halftime lead ... Heading off the court, Izzo goes ballistic, grabs Gabe Brown's arm and then Brown's jersey ... They "work it out" and "it's nothing" ... UCLA rallies to send it to OT ... Michigan State drops a game few expected them to lose.

Quite possibly a coincidence. But if it happened to dozens or even hundreds of other coaches -- including Marquette's -- it might not be so easily dismissed.

After the game, Izzo dismissed it pretty quickly and made it clear he didn't like being asked about it.

On the postgame show, Kenny Smith said: "It was a question that had to be asked. It's not a coach's job to create chaos. It's his job to control it. And that wasn't controlling it. It's not a normal environment."

Barkley said the opposite, saying Izzo had every right to grab the arm and jersey of a player who walked away when being screamed at.

OK ... time to hit the rack. See y'all tomorrow.

Agree with you on this

[MarquetteMike1977]

Sidebars My Son used to play video games with Harry Froling. Watched Joey's High School State Game on Mr and Mrs Hauser's phone. Mr Hauser told me he wanted both Hausers to stay. But it was incredibly complicated.

Points well taken.  If it was a young and inexperienced coach the incident would not be easily dismissed.  Just sayin....
