Final 4 game, MU doesn't show up. Sweet Sixteen last year, MU gets pounded. Tonight, just brutal. Florida did everything to keep MU in the game, not much of a sense of urgency from Buzz until about 8 mins left, after Florida goes on a 21-4 run. Bracket was wide open for MU to go to the Final 4, sucks, just sucks.
Said the same thing in chat. Spanked 3 times.
Whatever Buzz is saying to the boys prior to these big games ain't working.
Then again a couple 6'10" inside guys (please just one) would help when you can't hit shots.
Why didn't he just tell Jae to make all those shots he took. Man Buzz sucks as a coach
Yes, the game you lose is always the worst. But lets not forget all the ones we won by quite a few. Tonights game, while not good, wasn't embarassing. Yes, i wish we would have won but that happens every time you lose. Fingers crossed our boys get better.
Thanks Jae.
Thanks DJO.
Yep..Buzz doesn't know what to say to these boys before Xavier and Syracuse last year, or BYU or Murray State this year. Buzz just couldn't quite will Jae's 3 shots that rattled in and out from 3 in...
Back to back Sweet 16's are great - yet we all would like to advance to the Elite 8/Final Four like every school. Not our night tonight..

He doesn't suck as a coach, but not his finest evening tonight. Not enough offensive sets, not enough paint touches, that's on Buzz, gotta make better adjustments when you're up against a 21-4 run.
2 yrs in a row Buzz has celebrated 2 wins like it was the national title
2 years he has gone on every radio or tv show possible after the 2 wins
2 years in a row we have laid a giant egg in the sweet 16.
Time to stop celebrating, self promoting and prepare the team.
It sucks being embarrassed.
It sucks more having to listen to trolls like you. Ignore on.
I'm not sure I'd say they didn't show up. Last year, perhaps. This year, they just played poorly. Florida knew how to rattle Junior. Blue did his bad thing. DJO didn't do enough, and neither did Crowder. We could have beaten them, but, we just didn't come together to do so.

Oh my Lord, you didn't seriously think I was serious right? How many wide open shots did they miss? That is Buzz's fault?
two wins in NCAA are enough at MU. Don't think that will ever change.
Good year on the whole, if Buzz sticks around maybe we can get the talent to win three or heaven please four NCAA games.
so there is no substance to my post?
debate. don't be a jerk. make an argument and you will be respected
No, I didn't think you were serious. But if shots aren't falling, that's not Buzz's fault, but you have to make some type of adjustment. Run a set, keep feeding Gardner. Part of the reason MU got back into this game was finally late in the second half when they were going inside more. Would like to have seen an inside/out game much sooner, that part is on Buzz.

Amen brah, this one hurts cause looked like we were gonna get that redemption game vs. L-ville......but playing like tonight we would have been smoked by 20
Stone....if buzz is back we will have a higher bar set. Too long being average was acceptable. Buzz stays and that will change. Hope everybody wants the bar higher moving forward.

Buzz coached his a$$ off tonight. When his team gets open looks, including a lot from point-blank range, and shoots 31%, there's not much that the coach can do.

Buzz can't coach the ball to go into the hoop. We hit out shots and we win this game. Plain and simple. We threw the kitchen sink at Florida to keep ourselves in this game. If buzz didn't prepare this team we wouldn't have been a couple possessions down in the final minutes.

My guess is you've had enough experience at it to be an expert.
Keep the faith...big steps forward in regards to talent and style of play. Disappointed big time but upbeat on upcoming years.
In the end we got as far as Ohio...

You meant to post this last year right?
Jr played Elite tonight. He was absolutely awful, hence MU was awful. On top of that we played like a bad NBA team, no passing, horrible one and done possessions. At times I felt like I was watching Los Cavileres! Muy malo.
That offensive rebound MU gave up with about 2 mins left, MU was down 6 (I think) was just a killer. I think it was 62-56, MU shut them down with a miss, and FL got the offensive rebound, killed 30 seconds, hit a 3...dagger. As crummy as MU shot, they still had a chance in the end, still sucks 15 mins later.
Really sucks because unlike last year where UNC was clearly superior, we had a real shot at making the Elite 8. Florida was pretty bad yesterday, but we were even worse.
Junior killed us, Vander blew a lot of opportunities, Jae was frustrating with tons of wide open threes he didn't make, DJO was not playing like a go to player in the money time, Gardner was clearly not at 100%. Wilson was on fire at first, then disappeared.
Too bad we played on of our worst game in the Sweet 16.

::) It sucks to lose. Especially a game against a team that we are better than. Last night wasn't our night. You obviously have me confused with someone else again.
