I enjoy Scoop Hiroshima. It is the only good thing when MU loses.

That and all the mopes get to say 'i told you so'

“I told you so” is far more satisfying than the team I support winning

Oh, so true. So very true. "Screw the team. I was right. Ha ha ha!"

Iowa is 17-22 in the 2nd half vs Purdue. 

[JWags85]

He certainly has the dominant stats so it won’t be undeserved but Edey may be the most boring/unenjoyable NPOY in a long time.  He’s just enormous with decent hands and feet. I’ve watched 4-5 Purdue games, not including the MU game, and I don’t really recall being like “wow, incredible play” very often at all.  Just a lot of tapped up rebounds and lumbering short shots to the rim

True

i know this has been mentioned but Wojo adds 0.00000000 as a studio analyst.  The fact that he got this job is somewhat disturbing.

Ohio St continues to be hot garbage.

11-13 now. Not to worry. I'm sure they will let Holtzman keep that vest as he leaves for the last time. Give him credit- he really played hardball on the $, so he will be set for life. Along with the vest, what else could he want?

[wadesworld]

The algorithms say they’re a top 40 team.

Real white privilege.

He was only at Butler for 3 years before he bolted and I seem to recall he inherited a pretty good core of players including Freshman Kelan Martin. It seemed that most of their core players were all Stevens’ recruits in those years. I guess what I’m getting at is I’m not sold on him being a top coach like many seem to bill him as.

LMU beats St. Mary's.

Great win for Stan Johnson.

[GoldenEagles03]

LMU beats St. Mary's.

Great win for Stan Johnson.

That is now St. Mary's 2nd Q2 loss to go with 2 additional Q3 losses.

Probably need Brew to confirm but that should be pretty beneficial for Marquette who is near the same seed line.

Awesome!

Long live Kenpom!

Stan has the Lions playing pretty good basketball. 

[MU82]

Stan has the Lions playing pretty good basketball.

17-9, with wins over both St. Mary's and at Gonzaga this season. Also beat BYU, Wake Forest and Georgetown. A few bad losses too, though.

Overall, nice work by Stan in his third season of a total rebuild.

Has to win the league tourney to dance but LMU fans have to be excited.  They definitely can do it.  I’d cheer for him but he brought Markus to Marquette

So, he causes cancer.

All that matters is that The Worst Coach in Basketball History gets zero credit for Markus.

To be truthful, Woj's mishandling of the entire HauserHowardGate ultimately cost him his job. He decided to sink or swim with Markus and...he sunk, aina?

Should've chosen the Hausers.  Then we would've seen Theo John, Ed Morrow, Sacar Anim (wait, he would've been gone), Brendan Bailey (wait, he would've been gone), Jamal Cain, Greg Elliot, Matt Heldt, and Jayce Johnson all getting equal shots, playing the game the right way, etc.  Wouldn't have had the All American and BEPOY Markus Howard, and still wouldn't have landed the one and done Tyler Herro.  Thank God the Hausers know ball.

I know people like to say there was only two outcomes with this, but 4ever is right - this situation sunk him.  Should have found a way to get the team to  address conflict, play together and not implode during the season.  That was his job, he failed and thankfully we have moved on.
