Same starters.... Game comments

[flash]

It really doesnt matter who starts the game, its who finishes.  Ewill played 3 min and he started.  The best players were on the floor when the game was on the line, thats all that matters to me.  I think Buzz is trying to send a message to DJO that he needs to work harder in practice.  DJO will be starting by the start of the big east seaso, thats a fact.

I always took a few minutes to get into the flow of the game when coming off of the bench.  When you start you have warmed up and have a sweat going.  When you do not start you have to sit on the bench idle until your number is called.  I think that by starting your chances of "getting in the groove" of the game or "getting in a zone" go way up.  I cannot agrue with the point that whoever gets the most minutes and whoever finishes the game is very important but I also think that by starting your chances of getting into the feel of the game go way up and it can happen much earlier in the game than by coming off the bench.

What's up with Jamail Jones? No time against Bucknell and very little against Prairie View. I don't think we need another EWill type freshman. Last year we were for Michael Snaer - had like 3 baskets in 2 games. Stunning.  WE ARE MARQUETTE!

I think it's great that we have a deep enough team that we don't have to worry about getting production from Jones if he's not quite ready for prime-time yet.  It takes some guys a little longer to complete the transition to D1 than it does other guys.  I wouldn't worry about it.

I think like EWill, he has some defensive concerns (most freshman do, Vander is an exception).  He definitely has some skills but there are a lot of people in front of him.  It's been mentioned that he would be a star player on past MU teams with much less depth.  Him not playing doesn't mean he's doing badly, it means other players are just doing better.  Last year we definitely could have used EWill in there if he had been ready.  This year and at his position, I think we have enough depth without Mellow.  Knock on wood, but if foul trouble or an injury comes into play I'd like to think we could go to Jamail without a ton of dropoff.

Ok coach, send your resume to:

Attn: Steve Cottingham re: Head Coach Inquiry
Al McGuire Center
770 N. 12th St.
Milwaukee, WI 53233

He may not get head coach tomorrow but he could probably land a grad assist role.  CHREN21 is one of the very few on this board who has played Division 1 basketball.  He sort of knows what he's talking about.

Well, you've certainly piqued my curiosity.
