First one of the year.

In honor of my favorite poster, who has mysteruously dissappreaed, my new screename will be morebuycks.
We need him to keep up the pts hes given the last 2 games. Seems like we have 4 legit scorers like last year now. Me likey.
Agree. Only bad line was 4 TO's, but I think I only noticed one since they weren't boneheaded. 5-5 from three, he's stroking it with confidence. yesmorebuycks!
yesmorebuycks
+1 for DB
Buycks had a great night, but consideration also needs to be given to Otule who provided us with an inside presence that forced Notre Dame to not concentrate on others.

Buycks played well offensively--defensively on Adkins he gave up 14 points when he guraded him, with at least 5 shots when Adkins was wide open
When he doubled as the defense required. A couple of those were not his fault since the rotations didn't get there.
Buycks! With otule runner up.

I want to call out "nomorebuycks" like Omar Little called out Marlo Stanfield in "The Wire" right now.

Otule with a night like Dean Marqardt 30 years ago. Marqardt was 5-5 and 4-4 from FT for 14 very valuable points. Everyone remembers Doc's shot. Few remmeber that Dean was the SOTG.
How can you give SOTG to a PG with only 1 assist????? ;D
What a great game by Dwight. Congrats on an outstanding game!!!!

Only Willie could find away to mention a negative about Buycks performance tonight...Sad. While you are at dumb posts - do you want to go ahead and make your argument AGAIN that Gardner needs to be starting in place of Otule?
Congrats to Dwight!! Great game and really happy for him. He could be a major X factor for this team - it appears we have 4 legitimate double figure scoring threats - Buycks, DJO, Crowder and Jimmy.

You forgot Blue. We have 5!
I'd like to nominate Jae Crowder for SotG.
At the risk of sinking to his level, my screen name is nomorenomorebuycks
Bonus of winning is not seeing his 30 negative threads.
I know SOTG has been named but Otule is due for one soon.
nomorebuycks? My ass.

Otule got one earlier in the year. Hopefully, he gets more.
As for Buycks, I think I'm in the majority (based on what I'm reading in this thread) who thinks we're down a scorer and a lot weaker when DB goes out of the game.
Buycks may have been on last night, but there were three shots after which I looked at my wife and said, "a bad shot that goes in is still a bad shot".

haha...there were more than a couple occasions at the game where people seated around me blurted "no!" when a shot went up and "Yay!" as it went in.

Ners--I call them as I see them. In the first 2:28 seconds of the game, Buycks allowed Adkins three wide open shots, fortunately, he only made one of them. Buycks also had 4 to's.
Yes, he had a great offensive game, but when people say he is in there for his D or his ball handling, then keep an eye on that also. Those are areas he must improve.

The first thing many coaches do is tell a player to look to score first and foremost. IOW, there really isn't such thing as a bad shot if it goes in.

Willie...he was rotating off of his guy to double the post. That is why he gave up open looks...that is what Buzz wanted him to do.

Sadly, Buycks still hasn't mastered the art of being in two places at once, so he had to stick with his defensive assignment that included occasional double-teams that left his man open. My hope is that he'll have that two places thing down by the Syracuse game...we'll need it.

Agreed, and I'm glad that Buzz figured out by half time that our defenders down low could hold their own against their post players and we didn't have to double and give up open looks in the second half.

My issue with bad shots that go in is that they lead to more bad shots. It's positive reinforcement on a bad habit.
But yeah, you could literally see the smoke wafting off of Buycks' hand last night. Ride it while you've got it.

Ugh, pet peeve.
MU will win alot of games when Jimmy Butler scores the quietest 15 points ever.

I am fine with that if that is what the coach is telling him to do. The same must go for Cadougan when he is in there. From what I have seen the last several games, Cadougan has done well with his D. So Buycks is a better scorer, and is getting more minutes. That is the way it should be.
One observation: In the Pitt game we made a good run for about 5 minutes when Buycks, DJO and Cadougan were all on the floor. That may be something that can work again at the right time in the future.

I agree. I think Junior has been better defensively and in a year will be a solid point for us. Hopefully he will be able to score a little more too.
Caddy goes out and helps the team by doing what he does best and not trying to force things. As he grows in his role so will his contributions. Jimmy Butler was pretty quiet and fairly lost until about halfway through his first BE season. Through that time, he did what was asked and no more. Eventually, it all clicked and he is the efficient stat stuffer that he is today. I think Cadougan's junior and senior years at MU will be very good.

making too many bad shots?

Unless you're Dwyane Wade "There's no such thing as a bad shot if you hit it."
