Fun quotient

[MU82]

I guess I’m easy because I enjoyed:

++ Last season
++ A very long (3 months) stretch of 2018-19
++ A whole lot of 2016-17
++ Most of Buzz’s tenure
++ 2002-03

And yes, I’m very much enjoying this season - the hard-working attitude, the offensive flow, the pressure defense, etc.

But if we want to pick nits about winning teams, the way the offense just stopped for 6-7 minutes at Providence wasn’t fun to watch, being unable to grab rebounds isn’t fun to watch, etc.

But again, I really like this team, it is usually a lot of fun to watch, and I love the direction the program is taking.

I think next season, assuming the team stays essentially intact, that MU will be the bullies.

I agree and hope we’re right!

I still have the t shirt.

As long as you brought up Wojo bad losses -  how about Omaha, Belmont, and 5 losses to Depaul

4-0…..to me a lot more fun than a loss to UNO. Now that was not fun.

Omaha=UNO.

Sorry it’s wrinkled, it was in the laundry.

I think I’ve still got mine too. Still remember running down Wisconsin Ave

PS - you need to remove the laundry promptly after the drying cycle has completed!!

Pretty nice article explaining the nuances of the offense.  Good read.

Maybe a hot take, but Rowsey shot better then Howard and ran the point 1000 times better in my opinion.

Howard just volume shot and people love numbers

you make it sound like MH was a street chump that did nothing but cherry pick and launch. The guy was a 1st team All American and runner-up national POY. I loved the two DWade seasons, but Howard was a lot of fun to watch. Ed Cooley would agree!

Yes!  The geek’up factor is BACK!!  I feel a renewed excitement for our MU WARRIORS that we haven’t had in A WHILE!!  I mean, we’ve always tried to be guardedly optimistic with moments of geekdom, but this time I feel an extended real sense; now we EXPECT to win!

Was going to post this in the Tyler Kolek assist thread but that has inevitably degenerated into a pissing match about the announcers.  So I thought I’d post it here as it is pretty fun. Shaka has these guys fully bought into what he is selling.

Good choice of words and great observation of the current state of Warrior basketball. Most importantly it shows you know ball, hey?

Knows ball because he can sense there is excitement around the program? Hell of a standard to determine whether someone knows ball or not.

No, you can get multiple players and draft picks for him from a desperate team and find success pretty quickly without him.  Of course, that’s football, not basketball

Right back at ya with #34, aina?

In the NBA?  Trading a generational talent that you build around is different than the NFL where QBs like Matthew Stafford and Nick Foles win Super Bowls.  Ball knowers know this, aina?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

An NBA player at his peak has way more relative value than an NFL quarterback.

I thought Ben Steele was the only person in the room until the other guy asked a question. TK is highly intelligent with thoughtful answers.

Easier to build a basketball team. 5 playas vs 22, aina?
