Mo Acker

[nyg]

Acker played three minutes and MU up 7.  He had two reach-in fouls called, had the ball taken right out of his hands by Theodore at halfcourt for a layup and missed a wide open three point shot.  Lead was gone and Buzz pulled him for Cubillian in last minute.  If myself and others noticed this, then surely Buzz and staff did.  The fact he has not scored a field goal since 1/4/09 is unreal.

So he played one great defensive game against ND, but the rest of the time he has been non-existent, just giving DJ a breath or two.  He really needs to get some confidence back for next five games and beyond, thats if Buzz even plays him.  It is amazing that we have won 22 games, with no production from backup guards (Acker/Cubillian).  Great job by three amigos. 

No way he starts next year, he and Cubillian only play two to three minutes this year, so experience is not an issue.  Heck, when did Cubillian score last? Cadougan should start at PG next year and Buycks at SG.  Maybe third guard (new recruit) can start a new rotation for the next couple of years.

It's disappointing to see him play that poorly.  Not sure what the reason is, but he just can't BUY a basket right now.  I would love to see '08 Acker come back, we could really use a guy who can knock down open shots like the few he's had in the USF game and last night.
