Don't you mean clown instead of idiot?

But, all kidding aside, MU is still not out of it.  The bubble is really soft and there are games to play, but MU must beat UC and sweet Seton Hall now.  They probably need a minimum of 2 BET wins if not 3.  It's ugly, unless they can also find a way to win at UCONN...hard to see that happening.

Body language of this team shows defeat to me. This was a huge game and we did not want it.  MU is sinking fast and buzz may have lost the heart of this team right now.

We were a better team a month ago.  I don't remember the last time I've seen a team regress like this

That would be ironic if Buzz lost this team based on so many posts from last year.....nevermind....

You may be right, but I sure hope not.  Obviously next game is an absolute must win.  We'll see what the boys have.

I've been sick the last 5 days, going to bed.  Good night gents.

After watching some of my posts be deleted for no reason, it definitely gave me my second wind.

Otule and Gardner have gotten a lot better.  It seems every game they improve.  We have our Big Three with Jae, Jimmy, and DJO.  Sometimes DJO is inconsistent, but we know we can count on them.  Fulce has come back from his injury and given some very nice minutes too. 

Buycks, Blue, and Cadougan have all hit the wall.  Not sure what you can do besides continue playing them.  Hopefully they respond. 

I don't know if tonight is an indication of MU being bad or St. John's having turned the corner.  I'd say to everyone outside of the MU fanbase, it says way more about St. John's than it does about MU. 

The media has been repeating talking points about the Big East getting 10 or 11 teams so beating Cincy can still mean a lot.

The only way this team makes the Big Dance is if they make the games 30 minutes instead of 40. It would be interesting to see a scoring breakdown for the final 10 minutes this season. What does this mean?

Yeah, watching this team can make one sick.

I don't know how many nice minutes Fulce had last night - he had a rough game.  He seems incapable of blocking out on a defensive rebound.  I thought he's be better this year.

At the end of the day, this team has 4 players, DJO, Butler, Crowder and I'll include Otule who has definitely improved during the season.  Aside from those 4 (and I thought I'd see more improvement from DJO), I don't know who else Buzz can rely on.   We might make the tourney, but we certainly don't deserve to.
