Pretty strong teams for conference bottom feeders.  The key to the second ranked conference by average RPI.

I don't remember when I have seen this.   Leading scorer, tied for lead in rebounds, huge lead in assists, 9 turnovers.    Way to go out in style, Derrick.  

Almost a triple double.

The past 3 games have been good markers for the team. It was nice to see our underclassmen get a chance to feel what winning was like. A season like this tends to be rough on one's psyche, so to have nice wins against Depaul and the Hall was a nice way to go. The Nova game gives them a chance to see what they need to become. What an elite team really looks like and what to aspire to.

The result was what we thought it'd be.

No need to arrange for a long lunch on a Wednesday or Thursday during the first week of the NCAA tournament.

Are you kidding me!?  I'm still taking both days off, and just won't have the stress of MU playing (though admittedly I wish I had the stress).

Samesies.

Well to be fair, there's definitely no reason to arrange for a long lunch on Wednesday.

Wouldn't that be Thursday or Friday?  Nothing happening during the day on Wednesday.

The way Villanova shot today, I do not think even Kentucky would of beaten them today. However, I still think Nova goes down in sweet 16. They will not shoot like that every night.

Scoopers 25 months from now: "Incredible! We won the national championship!!"

willie: "But our third-leading scorer only played 26 minutes. We're never going to win multiple championships under Wojo."

[HutchwasClutch]

Ok My bad. That says a lot about Fox's broadcasting, as nobody said anything during the game. They obviously did not know or did not try to find anything out.

Like everyone, I'm sure the Fox team just wanted that carnage over with and on to the next game.  How can you blame them?

Yeah, with or without MU, the tournament is still a great spectacle.  Highlight of the sports calendar for me every year.

Unfortunately, I never said that. And you have never said anything remotely clear. But to each his own.

But I will say this: That was an incredible beat down today. And as an MU fan, I am embarrassed. Meanwhile you would say,
"We did not have enough depth". But there is always next year.

Unfortunately, I never said that.

Unfortunately, your words imply that you will find something wrong with Wojo regardless of the final record.  I think MU82's quote may be off but you'd find something to fault in the coaching staff's execution.

Oh, right. Guess I should read more carefully.  But my point remains

I can already feel the flu coming on just about a week from now...

10. the second leading scorer on the team is benched the last 15 minutes of the game. WTF, Wojo???

Why is it that certain people just try to find the negative in everything.  I can't even imagine living life this way and having so much bitterness and strong need to find fault in others.  As you learned, he was "benched" because of an injury, but even before that was revealed to you was it necessary to say WTF to Wojo.  There will be many, many, many decisions over the course of a season that the coaching staff will make, that might not make sense to us because we are not at practice, in team meetings or individual meetings with the players.  How guys like you, Ners or Texas Western can be so confident(and vocal about it) that Wojo is screwing up just because you don't understand why he is doing something is beyond me.  Running a D1 basketball team is far more complicated than any of us can imagine and so far I have been impressed with what Wojo has brought to the table and he will keep growing as a game coach, which of course will become much easier for him with better players that he personally recruited, more depth and more height.

Fun Fact:

We scored 49 points; Nova scored 51 -- on 3-pointers alone!

OK, you're right ... that wasn't very fun at all.

Nova whupped on us like a 16 seed vs. a #1

Good for you. You found something positive in a 35 point ass whupping. When I made the post, there had been no mention of an "injury" and when learned I stated it was my bad. I also apologize that I do not meet you illustrious expectations--but you do not know me, so spare the pontificating. Perhaps you are seeking political office. This is a chat board.
