It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

One of the more in depth analyses I have seen. Everything he sees is true and fair. Let's hope our players play above expectations.

I'm sure many fans at other schools feel the same about Gardner being gone.  Devante will be missed a ton on this year's team.  Think Jamil, Otule, Jake and even the loss of Todd can all be offset fairly well with Steve Taylor, Luke Fisch, JJJ and Duane - yet nobody will play with the efficiency and effectiveness Gardner did.  Was a travesty to see his senior year wasted as it was by Buzz.

Must agree. He could have had an nba defining season if it wasn't for buzz.

lol.  he's not even close to capable of playing in the NBA.  Unless Buzz was forcefeeding him I don't think he had much to do with it.

Devante scored points in bunches against non-athletic bigs, but he was a one-trick pony.    I thank him for his time at MU, I am glad that Buzz wrestled him away from South Florida, but he wasn't misused.

I heard that Dirk Nowitski bribed Buzz to make sure Davante wouldn't make it to the NBA.

We might be eliminated from the NCAA tourney before the new year? This dude serious? We're gonna lose 3 maybe 4 games in the non conference and then as he points out we'll be scary once Luke is eligible (vs. ASU and beyond) and our team finds its identity.

Soneone get this guy a jump to conclusions mat.

I thought this was incorrect also, because losses without Steve Fischer will be discounted by the selection committee. However, we would need to finish in the top 4 of the Big East and win a first round game in the Big East tournament to have a chance at a bid.

I think this guy used up his eligiblity in like the 60s. Besides, he's commited to San Diego State. I don't think we can get him to decommit  ;D

I thought this was a well-written piece and I do enjoy that he incorporates a bunch of commentary from message boards.  Its also kinda funny how people are jumping on this piece for describing a down year which we miss the tourney yet that seems to be what most think on here.

I personally am a little optimistic that we get some better results from our talented recruits from last year as they are used more often and think we can make the tourney.  However, I cannot discount the opinions of us missing the tourney.

Marquette was dogcrap all season long last campaign and were two choke jobs in the last week away from finishing 11-7 and a stand alone third place finish. Color me unimpressed with any of the squads that finished around us then and/or picked ahead of us now based on recruiting hype alone. Warriors finish fourth and sneak in with a good performance in NYC.

LOL - Scored against non-athletic bigs?  He scored against anybody he was matched up with one on one.  Abused Zeller and UNC as a sophomore in the tourney.  His O-Rating/Efficiency were some of the best in college basketball, and I'd surmise if you take his career O-Rating, he'd arguably rate in the Top 5% of all college basketball players.  Wish we had more "one trick ponies" like Gardner.

As for Gardner being misused - its kind of like how people said Dean Smith was the only guy who could hold Jordan under 20ppg.  Buzz should have been playing Gardner 30 minutes a night every night as a senior.  And we won't rehash how Buzz's coaching decision last season absolutely and totally hampered Gardner's ability to operate.

Hmmm... Gardner was MVP of the Portsmouth Invitational, the same tournament Jimmy B used to springboard himself to a first round pick. He might never be an NBA player, but to say he's "not even close to capable" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Which of the 32 teams extended him a contract?
