Buzz's dress code reminds one of early Bobby Knight.

And come on, at least Jerry has a half smirk.

Buzz's eye for clothes is brutal.  Screams '80's used car salesman.

Congrats Junior!  One of the least appreciated, most criticized players we have had in a while.

What I see is the best Marquette coaching staff since Al, Hank and Rick.

That is an Al's Night Retread...I am sure buzz had some symbolic reason he chose those threads for Junior.  Congrats to Junior!

Chris Otule already graduated and is grad school, right?

Who completed their eligibility but still hasn't graduated since Buzz took over? Most have graduated, right?

Only one thing: The Blue Demon mascot emphatically pointing to him during a T.V. timeout. Rarely happens these days.

Good to see Cadougan in the cap and gown.

That may be the healthiest Jerry W has looked in decades. I think he is smiling. Looks like the "I just shat my pants" grin ZFB gives when he's role playing as a baby in diapers.

Hayward and Crowder  left school after their senior season ended to prep for the draft. Buycks was going to stick around and finish, but got summer league/camp invites he had to pursue.

So is MU's graduation rate score going to go down in the next couple years to account for Heyward, Crowder, Buycks and Blue?

I think you are selling Maurice short. He is superior to Junior in every aspect of the game. Compare their two senior seasons:

FG%: Mo .443, Jr .431 (Ad Mo)
3P%: Mo .495, Jr .226 (Ad Mo)
FT%: Mo .727, Jr .714 (Ad Mo)
A/TO: Mo 3.1:1, Jr 1.53:1 (Ad Mo)
Stl: Mo 1.24, Jr 1.1 (Ad Mo)

Btw, Mo is thriving in Europe.

Mo averaged 23.9 ppg for Nova Ves in the Slovakian Basketball League.  They lost in the league semifinals from what I could tell.

I understand that Zar and Jae are very close to their degree.  Remember, it was absolutely critical for both of those guys to be fully committed to the NBA as soon as their Spring studies were completed.  Neither was in a position to suggest that they couldn't play in the Las Vegas rookie league because they owed Marquette a few credits.  I wouldn't be surprised to see both complete their degrees as time permits.

Not so sure on how close Jae is to walking down the aisle on graduation day. That one might be a stretch.

Anybody who is critical of Buzz's sport coat is so unbelievably wrong they should be banned. That jacket is spectacular and bears zero resemblance to the pictures you're comparing it to. I suppose you'd all be happy with a navy blue or black look? Or better yet, a pin striped zoom suit? Buzz is probably the best dressed guy in Milwaukee!

Yep. Jae had a ways to go. Remember, he had a lot of credits to make up at Howard. Lazar is very close. So is Buycks.

I have no problem with these guys doing everything they can to advance their careers. Unfortunately, some of the University leadership does.

I had heard through the grapevine that he was within a semester(ish). I could be in error.  Of course that stems at least in part from his early days prior to MU.  Our arch enemy Bob Huggins deserves some credit for getting Jae on the right path.

Not that matters at this point but I heard Jae was quite behind on path to graduation. He has found a nice career and if he decides to finish up that would be great. I think it might be more than a semester.

Knight was in keeping with the '70's style with his checked sport coats and mutton chops. As his belly expanded he shifted gears and went with the sweater look, a la Rick Majerus.
