Lazar's scoring pace

[muhoosier260]

If Hayward keeps up this pace, it is likely he will end up #2 on the all time MU scoring list, behind McNeal of course. I'm sure I'm not the only one on this board paying attention to this feat. Possibly even more impressive, is that (and this is assuming Hayward at least cracks the top ten, which he will)  the three amigos and Zar will all be in the top 10 for scoring, and they all played together for three years.

We are lucky to get to see these guys come through. 

Good decade for scoring at MU with McNeal, James, Diener, Matthews, and hopefully Hayward all in the top ten.  Also, you can count Wardle since he graduated in 01.

It's always such a gut punch when you realize the amazing (offensive) talent, 3 Amigos & Lazar being in the top 10 scoring .. yet had a grand total of 2 wins in the NCAAs.

Supporting cast is just as important

Or people taller than 6'6".

One more big man to go with Ooze would have made a big difference.  We just saw it in the FSU game.  Being undersized with players playing out of position hurts over a forty minute game.  "You can't teach height."

Quite frankly, I always thought on a true great team, McNeal would have been something of a role player. He turned into a hugely effective scorer, but he was not a great offensive player. I much prefer Hayward's game offensively and, if anybody was to knock Brute Force off his pedestal, I wish it would've been Lazar. Definitely one of my all time favorites...as Jimmy Butler is closing in.

Crean's lasting legacy for me will always be the fact that he could never compliment those guys with any front court players whatsoever.  Anything besides the worst frontcourt in the big east during their 4 years could have led to something really special

Whenever this topic comes up, I recall that "in the old days", our players accumulated their points in three years.  Or two, in the case of D-Wade, for example.

it would be interesting to subtract freshman year scoring from the players in the top ten and see how the ranking changes.  (I'm not that bored right now, but I could be)
