Kolek planning to go pro
......Played really, really well. Was very tough on offense.This team will be very, very good.Needs to mature. Needs to gel. I am very excited about this team.
Gotta wonder WTF Williams was thinking with ST last year.
The fact that Steve Taylor is a liability on defense plays much into Buzz's actions. The same can be said for Juan Andersen's playing time during his tenure. Both players were clueless on defense tonight. Next time MU plays, watch Taylor by the basket on defense. Several times he didn't help out against other players in the paint vs. Ohio St. and let his man abuse him in transition. Sure, he looks solid on offense - minus the several times the ball was stripped/blocked, but he has a long way to go on defense. The same goes for the whole team. But hey...... that's youth. If Taylor wants, he could be NBA material. He's going to have to work very hard though. Potential is definitely there. Hopefully Wojo can guide him along.
STJR should have had 30. His production was more a statement of tOSU's zone problems than ST playing really, really well.
Great couple posts and I agree except for one point.For all his harping, Buzz's defense was crap
Henry - to my old eyes our defense in the second half looked like the worst I'd ever seen in 48 years of watching Marquette basketball. What do your numbers say? Thanks in advance.
He scored a lot of points against Ohio St, but I was not impressed with him. At least half of his points were uncontested as there was a whole in the middle of Ohio St. defense. When his shots were contested he generally missed the shots. There were at least two times he had the ball low and passed it out and the subsequent shots were missed. I think all of Ohio St.'s bigmen were more athletic than Taylor. Given the same opportunities last night Gardner would of scored 30 points.
If Taylor wants, he could be NBA material. He's going to have to work very hard though. Potential is definitely there. Hopefully Wojo can guide him along.
I think he did a good job, but I think posters are getting over excited about this game. The same for JJJ the last game, who has only put up big numbers against weak teams. The same for Juan who looked really good in an exhibition game agaisnt a division 2 team. There will be great games during the season by most of our players, but there is no player on this team that can do it night in and night out.
