The more I watch JJJ, the more convinced I am that he lacks the skill and basketball IQ to ever be a positive contributor

Well, he is our leading rebounder at the half with 3.

MU has 10 total rebounds. Providence has 10 offensive rebounds.

Yes, defensive rebounding has been a weak point all year.

And we're playing 4 on 5 on offense again

Sandy seems to have hit a wall......hasn't really improved as much as I would have hoped the 2nd half of the season

Ummm...you are forgetting that MU had a 22-20 lead when Wojo inserted 3 seniors in the lineup?

Because he is the only size we have.

Story of this game: Henton & Dunn. MU is weak at forward and could not contain Henton. Dunn as PG is simply head and shoulders above MU at that position.

Wojo said in the post game that Juan hasn't practiced and won't be able to for the rest of the year. He also said one if the best things that. Happened today was Duane taking over the huddle during a timeout in the 2nd half......

I'll take blame for today. The wife and I had tickets to the Fireside. Great brunch show of Wizard of Oz. Anyway, I turned Homer & Mac on when we got out. Marquette was down 24 when I turned it on. At that point they went on an 8-0 run and ultimately trimmed it to 5 before it got away. Maybe had I turned it on 10 minutes sooner we would have won.

From what I heard it sounded great. Outscored the Friars by 13, Duane was unconscious from deep, and they competed hard. But listening to the game cast and Wojo's post game we need rebounding badly. I really hope there is a rebounder coming and honestly I hope it's a JUCO. Add nice as a grad transfer would be I'd like to see someone that can do the dirty work for two years, not just one.

FoxSports went inside the huddle midway through the 2nd half and the height of the ugliness. Wojo was trying to encourage these guys on. Said something to the affect of "after we score, get fired up, clap your hands don't just play like this (he that got up and kind made the motions of someone lolly gagging around) and look at the clock".

I think he is realizing that this team has nothing left in the tank and he is trying to will some inspiration on them. Great to see the come back and that helped, but I think these 8 guys are wiped out.
