Ignoring the Duke comment and looking forward to our game on Wednesday:I still dislike Buycks at the 1. I'll take Cadougan any day.Buycks is good at the 2 spot, but his shoot-first mentality kills me. If he gives up another open three and instead takes 1 STEP inside the 3-pt line to take a challenged shot I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to the athletic department. Plus I haven't seen much from him in the way of awesome passes. Cadougan has great court vision and can get the ball down-low at angles that take my breath away.I wish DJO would start instead of Blue, but right now DJO's head isn't in the game. While Blue lacks offense, he's an absolute best on D
It seems like Ox is going to earn more minutes by the end of the game, why not let him start that trend from the opening tip?
I've been wondering if it might be time already for Gardner to start. The Ox has been just that in his first two games, and we need someone with his kind of power inside. He could come off the bench again, but I wouldn't mind seeing him and Otule reverse roles.

All the chatter about the lineups is enjoyable, its great to not have a 7 man rotation anymore, but the real test is who starts against Duke? This was really tough and I changed my mind a buch of times, but what do you think of this........My guess1 Buycks 2. Blue3 JFB4 Crowder 5 Otule
legit point Mupanther. I will be first to admit I'm a bit overly excited because I am headed down to KC.Any info on UWGB from a horizon league expert? I know they beat the Badgers last year, so they are dangerous. Plus, Brian Wardle was taught well......
I understand looking forward to the Duke game. MU has two games before Duke, in Green Bay and South Dakota. Both of those two schools won over 20 games last season and made it to postseason play.
Ignoring the Duke comment and looking forward to our game on Wednesday:
Yeah we can't overlook the games before Duke. Like ive said before, the typical early season "cupcakes" arnt really there for us this year. We are playing solid mid major tourney teams.
I agree that the team cannot overlook Green Bay and South Dakota. But I don't think it really matters if us scoopers look ahead towards Duke.
Certainly, the team can't overlook those games. But WE can. C'mon guys. Our talking about Duke isn't going to affect the performance of our team vs. South Dakota and UWGB. I say talk about all the lineups all you want. I agree with the original poster's lineup...except switch Gardner for Otule.
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.
