Lots to be positive about so far, but when the ball goes through Juan it's like a skip in the record.  He's not strong with the ball, not confident at all offensively.  It's frustrating and a reoccurring issue all year

Two clunks by Derrick, one by Otule. Same old, same old.  Need every one today boys.

Juan is brutal, so is Jamil again.

Six minutes in and get it together.

Bell with two and now Archie two.  Take advantage.  Now or never.

Is it a team rule to bite on EVERY shot fake?  When will Todd, Jake, Derrick, Juan, Jamil et al learn to put a hand in the face of the shooter and not jump into their opponent 22' from the basket?

By the way I'm not sure we can double and hedge this team so aggressively, they move the ball to well....causing some unfavorable match ups offensively!

This team has head up butt.  Three stupid turnovers, missed free throws and senior leader Jamil playing just brutal.  Now Taylor with a brainfart pickup dribble.

This with BELL and ARCHIE out of game.  The ones that killed MU last time.

The save was a bad call.  The player stepped out of bounds to get around Derrick and never stepped back in bounds before touching the ball.  Horrible call.

No, it was just a pathetic effort by Derrick. He had all day to just grab the ball.

This with BELL and ARCHIE out of game.  The ones that killed MU last time.

Come on Buzz, give them a kick in butt.  

It really is amazing how dumb this team can be collectively.  Greg Anthony just basically said as much when he said the Nova players have better ball instincts.  Basically, saying VU is not necessarily better physically, but MU is dumb and playing half speed

We cut it to 6, Buzz comes barreling onto the court, gets T'd up, then another uncontested 3, and it's back to 11. Mail it in, boys, if you're not going to play harder than this.

Pretty sure the last of our concerns are the officials.... we are playing unnatural carnal knowledgeing terrible

We are playing bad, but the officials cost us at least 7.

2 on the save from a player out of bounds.
2 on the technical when Buzz was clearly in front of the ref calling timeout and Jake was clearly on the ground calling timeout.
3 for the failure to grant the timeout so we would have the last possession.

Those are all assuming we didn't score on any of our possessions.  At least 20% of their points right now stem from poor calls by officials.

VU has 4

MU is 6 for 10 from free throws with Taylor missing frontend.

DWil is 1 for 4 from field, all layups.

Jamil Wilson has not scored a basket since five minutes into the Georgetown game.  Not one basket.  Unreal.

Game:  Jamil t/o with dribble off foot.
           Jaun t/o with double team
           Taylor t/o with front court violation
           DWil t/o with terrible pass
           Mayo t/o with terrible pass

Buzz Technical a dagger, MU had it to six.  

Burton subbing in on the free throw line????

That's the most frustrating part of the season for me. Out hustled by the badgers, nova, creighton, etc. These teams all play harder than MU. It didn't used to be that way. If Jae Crowder was going for a 50/50 ball against another player, my money was on crowder. Teams used to respect that. This team wants to save all their hustle for practice it seems.

Miles might be among the cooler heads than mine that will say after the game that "refs don't dictate the outcome," "the refs didn't decide this one" and other kinds of code that totally takes the zebras out of the equation.  Like I said, they are cooler heads.

That end of half sequence ABSOLUTELY had an impact on this game.  Mark Jackson called it an "unfortunate break" for Marquette.  I'd say unfortunate break.  Down six with a timeout and the ball vs. down 11 to a top 10 team on their home court.

I got no beef or vendetta against Buzz--have never posted to threads questioning his coaching.  But to put the end of that half on him, rather than the "look at me" ref on the baseline, bullshirt.

Give Davante the rock, Jake needs to get hot, make free throws, and Mayo needs to step up in crunch time.

Not insurmountable but definitely tough.

Jamil looks lost out here also.
I just told him to "Get to Work!"


Again, he has not scored a basket since five minutes into the Georgetown game.  It would be a miracle if MU wins without anything from him.

Lack of hustle, too many turnovers, terrible rebounding, missing layups, poor defense, bone-headed T's....

There is no way an NCAA selection committee member would pass MU based on the "eye-test".

This team is a mess.

The refs aren't the ones forcing Jamil to look foolish at both ends of the court. He has ONE basket in the last three halves and has been abysmal defensively..

That's the most frustrating part of the season for me. Out hustled by the badgers, nova, creighton, etc. These teams all play harder than MU. It didn't used to be that way. If Jae Crowder was going for a 50/50 ball against another player, my money was on crowder. Teams used to respect that. This team wants to save all their hustle for practice it seems.

Well yeah, this is how Buzz determines who plays in the games! Duh!

Post by: Boozemon Barro on March 02, 2014, 02:22:53 PM
In arguably the most important game of the year, we were down by 14 in the second half and had an offensive possession with Derrick Wilson, Jake Thomas, Juan Anderson, Steve Taylor, and Chris O'Tule on the floor. That gives us a 2% chance of scoring on that possession.

Derrick Wilson allowing STJr to break the press.  Very smart move by our floor general.  Greg Anthony is reinforcing VU's high BB IQ while implying he feels MU plays stupid.  I have to agree...we love the timeline, sideline or any part of the court that acts as another defender.  Dribble to the corner, get doubled and then turn it over.  Brilliant coaching.

Bottom line on this year is college hoops is a guards game and no matter how much coaching Buzz does/did, these guards don't have a ton of upside.

Which nobody would have a problem with...it is almost sad at how easy he makes the game look...and how much of a struggle Jamil has had this season.

I wish we could put Burton and Jamil in a blender.  They'd still both foul out, but we'd have the aggressiveness and lack of conscious of Burton and the court smarts of Jamil.

They are struggling on the road against a top 10 team.  That tells me nothing about their ability to beat NCAA bubble teams either at home on Senior Day or on the road against a team who lost to Seton Hall at home and recently lost by double digits to a Georgetown team we just swept.

Struggling in a must win game.  Jamil Wilson hasn't showed up for the 2nd game in a row, they continue to make stupid plays both offensively and defensively.  They aren't playing hard or at least as hard as their opponent.  This team plays when it wants to, regardless of the context of the game.  They weren't motivated by a must win game.

Also, for those who look a Derrick and want to know what he did wrong today; he continually gives up the ball against a press when he shouldn't, to who he shouldn't, can't get an offense started in a meaningful way, can't finish or shoot FT's.  Anything left?

1) Not being enough is a possibility, but not a guarentee. Soft bubble this year.

2) You really think it's more likely we go 0-3 than 4-0? Where is your optimism? I don't think we g 4-0, but I think it's more likely than 0-3
1.  The RPI projections show they basically need to win the BET.  Obviously it depends on the BET schedule as far as the quality of opponents we face.  But winning the BET, at this point, is the only legitimate chance.

2.  Absolutely.  We have played extremely poorly on the road our last three games.  Providence is fighting for a tourney bid.  St. Johns is just plain better than us.  I am not sure who our first BET game will be against but it will not be against someone that we are clearly better than.  So yes, 0-3 is more likely than 4-0, and for me it isn't even close.

Sagarin says 0-3 is about a 14% chance, 4-0 about a 0.9% chance.  They don't have an optimism factor to plug in.

LOl - JJJ just launches a 3 with defender right on him...no dribble....and drains it...something you'd never some of our other guards do...granted it was garbage time...but the talent is there..

Was really excited to see JJJ develop at MU. Has an NBA first step to the bucket. This season he needed to work on strength and defense (like any freshman). Would have been really good as a soph I think. It's a shame buzz buried him on the bench. Oh well I guess.

You do know he could still be really good as a sophomore right? There will be plenty of minutes for him next season.

Minutes will need to be earned as I have not seen any signs of super star from jujuan

I'd be surprised if he's still at MU next year..

Considering we have at least 3 players on the floor at all times that can't hit a shot, we must have missed a lot
on the recruiting trail. Juan can't hit a shot to save his life and if your center and point guard can't hit FT's your
team starts in the hole every game.

Wait till next year with Taylor, Juan and Dwil starting.

OB play was a 5 point swing and then the T was a 7 point swing if you consider we could have at least gotten a 2 off the out of bounds play.  Not the margin of the game but killed the momentum.

I would be surprised if he's not. Plenty of minutes for him next season. If Jake Thomas can go from less minutes than JJJ has gotten to 2nd in minutes on the team, then the same thing could happen to JJJ.

But neither of us are BFFs with JJJ. So neither of us can really know

Yeah, I'd be surprised if he was back next year too. D Wilson and Mayo are back and will start and log a lot of minutes. Duane Wilson returns too. Dawson will see more minutes too. Would love to see him come back, but all the DNPs and the need to find an extra scholarship, I think the writing is on the wall.

I respectfully disagree.  I think we will be worse off; we will be less experienced (especially in the front court), more challenged to find scoring and no true leader in the group of remaining players.  I think it will be a couple of down years for MU.

The concerning thing is the fact that our players are out hustled and the number of 50/50 balls we lose.  That was a staple of MU hoops under Buzz... Work, work, work.  All I hear about are how tough the practices are and then they go out and crap the bed like this.

I'm still coming to terms that we accepted Anderson back, let alone the fact that we are going to lose Johnson because of him.

One more mediocre year, then watchout for 2015-2016, especially if Stone comes.  It happens to all programs.
