It has been mentioned repeatedly, but he turned it the same coaching "performance" as he did in other years.

The team just wasn't very good...and that's on Buzz. 

Buzz playing the guys you wanted him to play wouldn't have necessarily made the team better, it might have made it worse.

I trust that Buzz knew enough about the team that he was making the decisions he thought gave us the best chance to win.  I don't buy into any of your whacky conspiracy theories...sorry , but I don't.

No worries....lots of people choose to bury their head in the sand.   ;)

And you are greatly mistaken in that Buzz did NOT coach the team as he had in prior years.  Buzz never "lost" any of his previous year's teams...but he completely lost last year's squad...and key contributors:  Jamil, Devante...as well as Steve Taylor and JJJ.  He blamed a lack of leadership, yet he's the freaking head coach...and if after 4 years in his program Jamil or Devante didn't develop the leadership traits Buzz desired, then that's on Buzz as a leader.

I watched all the games last year, and unless Buzz had sent out a 13 year old with zero experience in basketball, it would have been hard to make that team worse.

Why does everyone on this site seem so set on calling others out? I don't get it. We are all fans of the same team.

Nukem is right. It's on you.

You're neither important enough nor are we naive enough that you need to play bodyguard in every single thread. Chicos may be a problem to some but you lead the braggadocio brigade into the gates of redundancy far too often to claim innocence.

1. Who's we?
2. When did I ever claim to be important? You've got me confused with your boy.
3. Braggadocio Brigade isn't bad, but you've got the wrong leader.

Welcome TJ.  We sincerely hope you become a fan of Marquette basketball.  Fr. Marquette certainly wasn't German or Italian you know.  Please keep us somewhat informed about Davante.  He was truly loved during his 4 years on campus.  And if it hadn't been explained to you, Marquette students started the chant of 'Automatic' as he stepped to the free throw line. It was something he and his family encouraged and enjoyed.  Starting the chant in your town would make him feel right at home.  I'll bet there's footage on the internet somewhere. 

Lastly, we all need to come up with a cool French screen name for you!  Again, welcome!

Well the talent level of DePaul is a bit less then what Marquette had to offer.

True, my point was it's not impossible to imagine a team being worse than we were last year. More than 250 D1 teams were worse than us last year - we could have been a whole lot worse.

What I was getting to was, with the players Marquette had/has it would have been hard to imagine a worse outcome given any rotation that Buzz would have thrown out there.

Before last year I would have agreed.

Davante is becoming slimmer at the present time

The more things change -- even a change of country! -- the more they stay the same.

For much of his time at Marquette, I kept hearing how Gardner had lost weight or was in the process of losing weight. And yet every time I saw him, he looked the exact same, or at least within a pound or 10 of how big he always was.

And now here he is in France, and he is "becoming slimmer," yet I can see he still needs a manssiere! Too funny.

Dat science my friend.

Weight does not equal mass. At Marquette he was losing weight but not mass due to him putting on da muscle. While in France their having him lose weight and not put on muscle, resulting in him being slimmer. Silly goose.

I think he certainly looks a bit slimmer in that pic.  Personally I wonder if he has a thyroid problem causing weight problems.

Brilliant.  Speaking of Buzz:  Do you feel he turned in a good coaching performance last year?  Curious to get your thoughts?

I think he coached his balls off and werked as hard last year as he ever had.  I think he tried to win every game all the time.  Injuries, transfers, leaving early, some talent evaluation misses, players not developing as projected, etc., all led to a season that no one wanted

Yours would translate to "The Beef Car."

L'Autoboeuf is a great nickname. Ranks right up there with Rusty Staub's nickname of Le Grand Orange when he was with the Montreal Expos.

It was what the French call le ironie.  For those of you who don't parlez Francais, le ironie is French for, "the irony."

It was also an entendre double.  Which is also French for "double entendre."  But that one's a little more difficult to figure out.

Doh! Everyone knows double entendre means you paid for it twice.
