Xavier Game Thread

Wojo playing both Ellensons the last 10 mins of season - this is Wojo's way of saying thank you to Henry and his parents.

Could be, but Wally belonged out there. He played smart, hustled and was a threat on offense. He belongs in the seven-man rotation if MU gets another game.

Does "kneel" allude to your work on your knees for Marquette? Ever the apologist.

Criticism is allowed. Especially on a message board, for a team that won't even make the NIT for 3 years running.

Press Conferences will be coming up on FOX SPORTS GO

So you are now holding Wojo accountable for missing the NIT in Buzz's final year?

It was a complete rebuild...we lost a complete recruiting class and had numerous transfers after Buzz left...if you couldn't see that last year I don't know what to tell you.

We aren't Duke or Kentucky.....we can't change coaches and just reload in 1 year.

Well, we got whipped by a Top10 team tonite. Bucky got whipped by a bad Nebraska team tonite.

The Iowa game was unexpected as well.

Depends on your definition of reload, but didn't Buzz pretty much do just that at Marquette early in his tenure and after losing nearly an entire recruiting class?

In Buzz's first two seasons, he had two teams dominated by four year upper classmen, three of whom ended up playing in the NBA. Wojo had two last year who weren't very talented, and none this year.

Buzz filled the gaps in the recruiting classes with Jucos, which is something much harder for Wojo to do.

They really aren't similar situations at all.

[Marquette]

Then compare it to what Buzz had at Virginia Tech. He had nothing there and picked up 1 top 100 recruit. This year he has been without 2 of his best players and finished in the top half of the best conference in the country with a 10-8 record.
