The doubling of Cowart I didn't mind. He's a load in the post and is prone to turning it over. Other than offensive boards in the second half, I thought we did well on him.....

Of course if that's the best thing you can say about a game that's a huge problem. I agree with the aggressive double team on Ja. Didn't make sense to me. I get that they wanted to make everyone else beat us but why go away from a defense that has worked all season? Joey wasn't nearly quick enough to double and then try to get back to his man.

It was pretty much the opposite philosophy of that employed against the Badgers where MU's game plan was to shut everyone other than their star down.  Didn't make a lick of sense.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

30% Coaching Gameplan
20% Lack of Adjustments
20% Team Execution
100% eFG% disparity

And as one final middle finger, Murray State shot 77% eFG% against MU.

Seemed clear from the beginning this team wasn't ready for Murray State. That's on Wojo.

Draymond Green, 2012. He had one in 2011 as well. Cole Aldrich had one in 2009 with 10 blocks, so yes, you can.

"G" is for guard, Cheeks. Green and Aldrich are not guards. So, no, you can't.

I don't know which is a greater indictment of Wojo's ineptitude, his inability to construct a complete roster or his ineffective game planning and in-game adjustments. In any metric of measurement, he's fails miserably and is simply out if his league
I would add to this his consistent pattern of demotivating his team . CBS caught him excoriating the kids to play Angry as his face was turning red and angry. The kids just tuned him out.

In addition he has developed a unique specialty in building kids up and then throwing them under the bus. Does wonders for the team spirit.

LOL.  I'll be dead from a plane crash and these other guys will still post and I'll smile my ass off at your lunacy.  All I ask is that when you are exposed and proven wrong that it isn't me, please man up and make a $1000.00 donation (you can afford it) for the Juvenile Diabetes fund to help people with Type 1 insulin dependent diabetes.  I'll be dead, so it is on your honor code to do this. 

Meanwhile, I'm just going to keep on laughing.  I can tell Hoyle worked in athletics, I'm guessing MU.  Never met him, I don't think.  Clearly we have different politics, which is fine....but he knows what he is talking about with Buzz and you just don't like it...to bad.

So when you die in a plane crash if someone keeps posting under the Billy Hoyle moniker you want me to "man up" and give $1000 to your charity. Odd prediction, worthy cause. Done.

Good.  How about one more, if Billy proves he isn't me....you pay it out before hand so I can watch kids like my daughter benefit from the donation.  If you are willing to donate when I'm dead and proven it isn't me, you should be willing to pay it proven regardless...right?

It is a worthy cause.  Billy, going to need some help here but since this is $$$ for kids, I think this is worth it if Lenny steps up here.  I know exactly how to do it, too.  Photo of each of us with newspaper in town we live on with date from that day, impossible to replicate and preferably next to something local that proves we are each in a unique location. I don't know where Billy lives, but I sure as hell know I am not Billy....and the satisfaction on my face of you writing that check for those kids will go a long ways.

Come one dude, I know you are a good man as much ribbing as we do, I do know that you are.  For a good cause and you will be able to find a second person that worked in college athletics that knows a bit more than you about your Curly impersonator that also coaches.

Well, In post game interviews Wojo has said "this is all on me, it's not on the kids." So, fine. It's all on you Wojo. Figure it out.

OMG. Are we really back to "demotivating" wojo again?

Fans are a finicky bunch. You don't like that wojo got loud and angry. Others liked izzo getting loud and angry and wanted wojo to be like that

BOT, namely Doc Rivers

Coulda shoulda had Hopkins...

Who, by the way, cinched his first first NCAA win in just his second season. Hopkins inherited a Romar-sized mess but has been named the Pac 12 COY in his only two seasons.

Guy has the Huskies playing above .700 ball and winning in The Dance.

And the BoT thought Wojo was the better choice...

Could be they were wrong. Let's see how he does without Romar's guys before we begin making any final declarations.

For me it was a little telling he had to have that kind of convo on the eve of an NCAA Tourney game. Especially when everyone was picking against us.
