6. In a surprising move, MU will fire Buzz Williams and choose his replacement from elite coaches Rick Pitino, Roy Williams, and Jim Calhoun.
Never did I think I would read an article that said MU basketball will be saved because of Mo Acker.....especially as the #2 reason. :o I love Mo as a backup, but he is not one of the 5 reasons.
It will come down to Buzz's ability to recruit year in and year out and coach up those that aren't elite players.
I think the article was written for next year only, and not the long-term. Acker is as good a reason as any. He's not a great big east PG, but he should have his way with the cupcakes in the beginning of the season, and teach the ropes to Junior.
Novak is a good example of the stellar "Guard" plkay :D
It's gonna be so weird to have announcers talk about us having size. The team is gonna learn a lot in that Thanksgiving tournament next year. There are no potential number one seeds, but all around tough teams for a team like Marquette with lots of freshmen. That should be a good test to get ready to go into Madison and upset those guys and play a tough home game against NC State.
I really like the way the team looks next year. All young players are question marks, but we improve interior scoring and defense it looks like. I do question if Butler and Buyucks can be lockdown defenders on the perimeter, but I really am excited to see this new team.
