Brust must have time on his hands.  Hope he invested all those Euros wisely.

thanks for the link.

That "Howard is good but ...Happ..." thing makes me think Gard is a little irked by the suggestion that they can't handle Howard.

Its true we have other weapons. And its true we can't replicate Happ. But if only Happ shows up, we will win.

In any case I think we will win.

Terribly written article. Here's two that stood out:

"And, as Gard mentioned, Howard isn't the Golden Eagles' biggest threat. Junior forward Sam Hauser is averaging 14.2 points per game and his brother, freshman forward Joey Hauser, is at 10.2 per game."

"But they basically had no chance with a depleted backcourt. Plus, Marquette played really well."

So two guys that score fewer ppg than Howard are bigger threats? Huh.

And two fragments, with an inexplicable "Plus" to start a sentence? That looks like a junior high newspaper article. I bet MU82 would never turn that in to his editor.

I swear to god if Wojo double Happ...I may go down to the floor myself and who knows what would happen. be the WORST strategy ever. Virginia layed the blueprint..Let Happ have his, shut down the perimeter...win the game. Happ alone cannot and will not beat MU.

I've seen worse ... and also a lot better, but probably not in junior high newspapers. I give the writer credit for being at least an 11th-grader.

I think you double Happ occasionally so he has to worry that the double is going to come. Just not often and never off Trice
