It's hopeless arguing with a troll, but Vander "Bust" is the leading scorer for a team which is 2-0 in the Big East

So, what? It's the Big Least. It's not like its the Big 10!

Well, since we're going to let our foot off the gas pedal, I guess that means we will be up at half.

Is that so far fetched?
Yeah, when the guys says that "we" are going to take the pedal off the metal, and calls Vander, "Vander Bust".
Marquette will win!!!
I disagree with the OP. If Pitt had lost to Georgetown to start out 0-3 in the Big East I would be worried. It's never good to play a desperate team. But Pitt is a pretender. As is Georgetown, so their win wasn't that good. Georgetown has a huge lineup...and are a bunch of panzies. How do you continually get outrebounded when you start 4 guys over 6'8"? If we're serious about making the NCAA Tournament (and I believe we are...although we'll be a quick out) we will win this game.
We are doomed
Well, somebody has to.
I mean...its gonna be super tough, Pitt just blew out Gtown in DC...and we are on the road. I want to be optimistic but....

No, it's only 'we' if it's a backhanded slight at MU.....that way we'd never suspect him to be a troll.

True Marquette fan: (as defined by BillyBob)
1) someone who makes up disparaging nicknames for Marquette's best player,
2) someone who fearing a coming MU loss, predicts that the team is going to slack off, so that if the team does lose he can be happy knowing that he has set himself up to go on MUScoop and say, I told you so.
Synonymous with troll for the majority of MUScoop posters.

So how does that explain your Vander hate?
Not a Vander hater, just think he could be that much better if he gets tougher, and isn't focused about how cute he looks and works hard like Derrick Wilson.

Do you remember Blue as a freshman? He is like different player right now. Apparently focusing on being cute helped make that happen. Think of how good he'd be if he worked hard instead!

He could be better if he works hard and gets tougher, so we should all call him Vander Bust to help lift him up to your lofty expectations?

was watching the buzz show and they asked one of the players who handles boot camp the best...i forgot who the player was but he responded that it was definitely vander...and made a comment about how impressive his physical conditioning is. i'm thinking that all happened by not working hard and trying to be cute.

What evidence do you have that suggests that he doesn't work as hard as Derrick Wilson?
Can we all just admit that our expectations were too high for Vander coming in. There has been senior leadership on this team since he got here (Butler Freshman year, DJO and Jae last year) and now that a lot of that is gone he is finally stepping up.

Or got punched by him outside a Qdoba.
Probably shouldn't have run his mouth and challenged a D1 athlete to a fight then.
Yeah, our expectations for Vander were kind of high when he came in as a 5 star recruit, but you know what? We don't get to the S16 these last two years without his contributions. We aren't 3-0 in the Big East right now without him. He's matured a lot as a player and off the court and I think we're fortunate to have him.
Which brings us back to a fundamental truth we all need to remember for next year. It is rare for a freshman to come in as a complete player and have a huge immediate impact. Unless Calipari snags them. Blue has progressed, he has gotten better. That is more typical than what we got from the amigos. Remember this next year when the freshmen are struggling. (I said 'when', not 'if')
You guys, Vander was never a BAD player, but if you weren't frustrated by his ability to get to the rim and then beef the layup I don't know what to say to you about his first 2 years. The kid couldn't shoot. This his first year with an eFG% over 43% (which is not good). It is 51% this year, which is good. Vander was a bad offensive player before this year, which was frustrating because we can see the talent he has on that end. He has become an efficient offensive player this year and is fulfilling the promise of those lofty rankings on the scoring end of the court, finally. So he wasn't DJ his freshman year, and we were disappointed. He's good now, so thats why you may see less "haters."
I have no doubt that every single player on this team works as hard or harder than every one in D-1 ball, but a nose for the bucket just is there or it isn't until it clicks. Gardner had that nose in year 1. It took blue a while, but he's much better now.

What's funny is that Vander's contributions as a freshman were significantly greater than Gardner's, yet many fans saw Davante as a major contributor to that team and Blue as a detriment.

I think a large part of this has to do with the fact that Vander was the highest ranked recruit in Marquette's history, if I'm not mistaken. Nobody had even heard of Gardner prior to when we signed him.

While unquestionably true, let's not bring up this debate again. It was tired and silly when it first came up 2 years ago and is even more so now.

Highest ranked in the last 20 years or so, not ever.
I've never seen kid gloves as soft as teamdee's when it comes to Vander criticisms on Scoop. Must be a friend, acquaintance or teammate of Vander's busting his chops.
My vote is that teamdee is Jamil. Or J-May.
You can find out who "teamdee" is pretty quickly. It's not hard.

Look, he's just a guy. No one famous or some sort of alter-ego of anyone here. He clearly doesn't want to be "outed" because he has since hidden his email.

I'd say the best chance we have to change that will be in 2015. Not saying it will happen, but it's not unfathomable we could end up with the #1 player in the country that year.
