Prediction Time - UW

Nobody is happy with the outcome and you know it.

Some of us can just admit that the opponent is bigger, stronger, older and better.

If we all sit down and cry together will it change the outcome? Will it make you feel better?

I'll focus on the positives. Markus Howard is a stud....and played after getting IVS every day since the Fresno game....Sam struggled with fouls today but he is going to be fun to watch for 4 years.....Cheatham showed signs of breaking out of his slump with 16 and 8.

We scored 84 against the Badgers.....that is very hard to do.

We have size and athleticism coming.......if you aren't tough enough to be supportive then quit watching the damn games.....it will do you good since you are obviously miserable.

I never said i don't like watching the kids, this team is VERY enjoyable to watch...offensively. It's so nice finally having a team that can shoot it. I just don't understand what all of you see in Wojo...what the hell has he done as a Coach in 3 years to make you all slurpers for him?? How many truly big games has he won?? How creative has he gotten with game plans etc?? How many in game adjustments has he made that have truly worked?? He is supposed to be so defensive minded, yet can't coach defense to save his life. He KNOWS he has a team that isn't very good defensively, yet, he keeps going with the same thing game after game. He's not putting the kids in the best possible position to succeed defensively, that's what irritates me. They score plenty of points to win EVERY game..yet, he gives him NO shot in big games because he won't, for whatever reason change things up...I hate to say it but maybe Wojo is insane .."doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome". Does he think that all of a sudden mid game when a team has gone on a huge run that his defense will suddenly "get it" and get stops??

Michael Young abused them in new York..what did he do to try to put an end to that?? Absolutely NOTHING. The badgers were running a lay up drill today in the 2nd half..did he do anything to try to stop it?? Not a damn thing..didn't come out with a different look or anything. Brilliant Coaching Wojo..Good Coaches can adapt mid game, good coaches change things up when something isn't working. To not do those things.. that's a bit negligent as a Coach if you ask me.

First, this is brilliant. Iceman, grow up. You are such a baby after a loss. I'm not happy, but I recognize the reality of what I saw. Deal with it.

Second, you are a complete idiot if this is your thought process.

Complete.

Idiot.

Michael Young had a two minute outburst. It was keyed by our bad shots and turnovers. Then we called timeout and he didn't score again from the field. Did you notice that? Or were you too busy pouting about the loss?

It is mind boggling to me that you are over the age of 8. No adolescent I've ever known cries so much, seriously, your pouting bitch fest after every loss is old. Take it like an adult.

That's fine...be content with where this program is currently, like most here are(even though they will claim they aren't). I'm not...and I want you to tell me what Wojo has done as a coach in 3 years to prove he's the one for MU?? *cue the he went from 13 wins his first year to 20 his 2nd and the trajectory is pointing up* line. If that's satisfactory to you, that MU plays in front of a virtually empty arena now every night, and hasn't made an NCAA tournament in 4 years let alone an NIT, then that's good for you, because you want a "nice program that graduates it's kids and competes hard". Some people just have no competitive bones in their body and losing is okay with them. I get it.

You think your rantings on a message board are a sign of competitiveness? Well I guess you can go with that if it makes you feel good...

Where did I say I'm content? I want us to be competing for the Final Four every year. I want us to be where Villanova is. But pissing and moaning about things doesn't make them any better. I'm willing to look at the reality of things, like Wisconsin simply being a better team than us, our defense being limited by our lack of size, and the simple reality that we are at least two years from being a legitimate contender for the league title (at least).

Also, your math is wrong. Four years ago we were on our way to the Elite Eight. Losing to Wisconsin didn't knock us out of the NCAAs and I still think we have a real opportunity to make it to the Tournament. Whining like a bitch doesn't make you competitive. It makes you a whiner. The most competitive people I know are also wise enough to also know when they are beat, which is what happened to us on Saturday. They know that crying doesn't make them better competitors, but taking your lumps and learning from those experiences does. But I guess if you can convince yourself otherwise, whatever. More power to ya.
