This is MU's best defensively efficient BE game since Louisville last season (80.0). Great effort by the bois. Things to fix but Buzz has a good part of a week with no school to work on it. He says he spends 70% of practice on defense--and the O is going so well, he can up the time. One thing I like about Buzz, he calls it like he (and we) sees it. Never would get that recognition from Crean who wouldn't admit anything in public. Go Buzzer, Go!

Good to see more proof that Buzz reads and relies on the discussions on this board. Where would he be without us? ;D
Thanks for these. Wow. Where did that effort come from? I definitely want more. I thought we could win, but never thought it would be in that fashion. We could have had an off night offensively and still beat them. Awesome. Simply awesome.
