New Mexico Game Thread

In the 2nd half, the ball stopped too much. First half, when MU had some flow, they were moving the ball. Frustrating to watch when it sits there. Easy to defense. It ends up settling for a difficult one on one drive. I just do not recall another time under Buzz when there was so little ball movement.

Just frustrated with what has taken place.

--Frustrated with Jamil. He hasn't taken the same step we saw from Jae, Jimmy and Lazar.
--Frustrated with Jake Thomas starting. The fact he has hit just 2 fg from inside the arc says it all. His role should be a bench 3pt specialist
--frustrated with Buzz's lack of trust in the freshman. Yes, they will make mistakes but you take the lumps for the higher ceiling.
--Frustrated with the injuries/transfers. I had Duane, Steve and Jameel in our rotation coming into the season.

On marquette boards, c'mon

EDIT: I have been on Marquette boards since I was in 7th grade. I am now 24 years old. That post just reeks of ignorance.

I'm disappointed too but being a true fan (p.s.I'm not questioning you're fandom, I know you) means sticking by the guys through the up's and the down's. I support these guys through it all so I get so pissed when the diehards on this board bash the guys when they are struggling. Thats what the fair weather fans do!

You've been a bit of a prick lately and I don't get it. Losing brings out the worst I guess.

I expected a big east title contender...just like the opposing coaches did. This team has looked far from it

So I should just be happy with everything because it happened that way?

Still really like this team, and think were two games better then our current record. Much closer to being really good then the pollyannas want to admit, but need to trust in themselves against good teams. Similar to 2010-2011, and hopefully this team does not have a Louisville collapse to mentally overcome. Disappointed in the sense that we're not getting a good seed in NCAA's, but optimistic that this team puts together a strong run of play and is hell to play in February and March.

Next season doesn't hold any more promise. The frontcourt, especially, will be challenged...to say the least.

You are still high:) This team isn't getting any NCAA seed unless they win the conference tournament. I would like to point out that this is not being a bad fan, but a realistic one. I have supported the team since I was ten years old, and continue to through thick and thin. Won't stop me from saying how I feel though. Why do you feel this team is two games better than their current record. That is just ridiculous! It's not like they are losing on buzzer beaters.

I'm optimistic that Buzz will figure things out (despite the tone of my posts). The one BIG, BIG, BIG difference is the lack of opportunities for big wins.

No, you support the team and dont become a whiny bitch during a down year....just an idea. NO program avoids lumps, it happens. Extremely spoiled fan base.

I'm not spoiled. I have been watching them and supporting them since 1972, through the good and the bad. It is called realism!

To say I don't support them is entirely off base from reality. I cheer just as hard as the rest of you during games.

Yes this team will, take their lumps and I realize that. I am not expecting perfection. When there are things that I feel could/should be changed I will point them out. Again, just because I don't support 100% of Buzz's decisions (not playing JJJ/DB more) does not mean that I am ungrateful or spoiled.

Anybody on these boards is a big fan. I just get frustrated when people turn into assholes when the guys struggle.

And yes, this is a spoiled fan base. Every team - even the blue bloods - have hiccups. I'm not throwing in the towel yet but its not looking promising.

Again, not questioning you're support or fandom. We're all frustrated. Losing sucks. Lets hope they got a run in them.

I think the students and younger fans may be a little spoiled. Those of us who have watched the team for 40 or 50 years are not spoiled. My kids who are 18 and 21 are spoiled in regards to watching the Packers. They don't remember the team being bad, so they don't appreciate it.

What I don't understand is how calling out your team for poor play makes you any less of a fan? I love MUBB as much as anyone, that said this team isn't performing against top level competition and quite frankly isn't up to our normal standard, I think Buzz would be the first to admit that. I'll still be at every home game, watch every road game and hope like hell, but that doesn't mean I can't call it like it is.
