Report Card:
"B: Vander Blue -- After subpar seasons as a freshman and sophomore, the 31st-ranked recruit in the Class of 2010 is finally living up to expectations. Blue is averaging 14.8 points per game for 25th-ranked Marquette and 19 points in his past five contests. "We don't necessarily sign guys that are ready-made," Golden Eagles coach Buzz Williams told ESPN.com. "We sign guys that know they're going to have to work. He's had a lot on his shoulders. He can't control what all the expectations have been for him since he got here. He's handled that burden, and now his stock is on the rise. But we need him to do more." Blue netted a career-high 30 points in Sunday's win over South Florida."
Prediction Time:
"Louisville 61, vs. Marquette 55: If the season ended today, Marquette's Buzz Williams would be the favorite to win Big East Coach of the Year. The Golden Eagles' only conference loss is an overtime defeat at Cincinnati. Saturday's tilt with the Cardinals at the KFC Yum! Center, however, will be too much for Marquette to overcome."
Interesting thought about Buzz being coach of the year in the BEAST. Keep winning/playing like this and he definitely has a shot.
