I know he has some points but where is he??? He has clearly lost favor with Buzz
Maybe he would pass unlike Todd...May have a DJO replacement on our roster in terms of stupid drives.
I am really worried he is going to transfer after the season. I really think he can hep us a lot, but just needs to grow up a bt.
Blue and Mayo on bench at end. D Wilson, Juan and even J. Jones playing.
Vander probably sat out the last 15 minutes of that half. Strange.

Really? You worry about stupid crap like that? How 'bout somethin' more meaningful.
How do you think that losing one of the highest recruits in recent years "stupid". Now while I don't rank it up their with the problems of this country, with regards to this program losing him would be a blow!
He looked pissed on that dunk!!! In a good way for us

Agreed, it would be a HUGE hit to this team for next year.
It wouldn't concern me if anyone on the roster bolted. Someone else enters.
Vander's doing fine.
I wondered where he was in the 1st half especially with all the foul trouble and unusual line-ups. He's in there in crunch time so buzz still has some condifence in him.
there he is
Huge finish for Vander at the line!
money when it counted.
Can you imagine this board if he would have missed? He was clutch.

What ever would have happen, would have happen if it were any of MUs players. Type in any player in the search and you will find dozens of threads dogging that player.

But especially you dogging Blue.
for all those people predicting the early demise of Vander and how Mayo should be starting...please go back and watch the last two games.
No knock on Todd becuase i think he is going to be really good. But Vander has been infinitely better the last two games and talk about brass balls with those last 4 ft's.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great game Vander!!!!!!!!!!
Oooooooooooops!!!!!
GREAT POST, THOUGH!!!!
DERP DERP DERP

Um, if the Mayans are right and the world ends in 2012, I would still call people stupid for worrying about it.
Worrying about things that are very unlikely and completely out of your control is indeed stupid.

+1
you're just making things up when you start to worry about Blue leaving. Do you worry about all the injuries that could occur to any player on the team before they even take the court too? You have to be the most stressed out person on the planet if you're stressing about possibilities that haven't show any likeliness of occuring.

I'm not a Vander hater. But I do have to admit that I was a little worried both times he went to the line. He swished all 4, nothing but net, and I'm really happy for him because I'm sure this hasn't been the season he had envisioned.
Maybe this will be just the confidence builder he needs. He really played pretty darn well in his entire 16 minute stint, and hitting the clinching FTs was incredibly clutch.
::) This thread as pointless as two dogs barking or four 13 year old girls talking about ANYTHING or any conversation with the word "Mayan" in it.
How 'bout we go onto the other threads and talk about how tough Marq was today or why the continued slow starts or relevant things like that. Look, there they are!!
Leave Vander alone.
How can topics as stupid as this be posted? Does anyone edit this blog?
Um ... hello ... it's America, not China.
Don't like the the subject, don't read it.

In fairness, this thread was started at or near halftime. Up to that point, neither Vander nor Mayo had many minutes. Buzz went big. At times, JWill, DG and Jae were on the court together. JJ had 7 1st half minutes and Juan 3. They also got some of Vander and Mayos minutes.
It was a fair topic at the time.
I missed the second half and can't understand why there's been ZERO posts on the most important issue: did Wilson offer Blue a high five after the made free throws, and did Blue respond affirmatively!?!
I GOTS TO KNOW!!!
Nobody I'd rather see at the line at those moments. Vander had a calmness about him that I could feel through the TV screen. Forget about his FT percentage, his confidence and competitiveness trumps all else.
Bad day for the Vander haters on this board, of which, sadly, there are LEGION.
Clutch FTs, for a big win. Great job! Hell, he might have even high fived somebody correctly during or after the game.
he is a legit 5-star when it comes to 'slaps of five'
Vander will put it all together and you will change your tune. I think hes a tough son of a gun
Today could be the start of Vander figuring it out.
Though Vander isn't the stud of the game today... he certainly was clutch and that will be good for his confidence...
