This is why Duke is so good every year. Their fans, on message boards, are not allowed to look past inferior opponents. The fans are so well coached by K, that they know to focus one game at a time.
It doesn't matter who starts...it matters who finishes.
Given his level of conditioning, I like how Buzz is using him right now. I kinda like the idea of a rested offensive threat inside against guys who are tired/in foul trouble.
I am pretty sure, especially since we are not ranked, that Duke fans see us as an inferior opponent and are looking past us to Kansas St. There probalby is not a Duke fan that is worried about us beating them.
UWGB is classic trap game for MU fans. We get caught looking ahead to Duke, don't bring our 'A' game to the BC and next thing you know we're getting out-cheered by the small contingent of fans down from Brown County.We must not let that happen.
Who cares about the starting lineup. The only thing that matters is who is on the floor at the end of the game.BuycksDJOButlerCrowderGardner
Honestly? It dosen't matter? Exactly at what point in the game does it matter then? Just the last 4 minutes?
How can the team look ahead 2 games when Buzz has them focus on how important each possession is?
I think Reggie starts at point against Duke, because of Irving's quickness. Otule starts, because of Duke's size. Blue starts, because he is better than DJO. Crowder is going to play the majority of minutes at the four whether he starts or not. No need to mention Butler.
Blue IS NOT an all around better player than DJO.
I agree..think DJO is getting a bum rap. DJO will have a much better season statistically than Vander. I like Vander, but also think people have gotten a little too excited over him. He's been solid for sure, but let's not annoint him just yet. Gardner to me has been far more impressive than Vander.
Anyone else worried about turnovers if Junior doesn't start against the Duke pressure defense? I don't feel that Reggie is remotely ready to handle that pressure. It will be interesting to see if Buzz feels a need to have a true big (Gardner or Otule) in to deal with the two 6' 10" players Duke will put on the court, or if he decides to go small. Going small is going to create a mismatch at three positions with one of the guards likely trying to play Singler, and I worry more about the rebounding issues than I do the Plumlees or Kelly scoring big numbers.
