Yes, and the Bloomington wonder leaving the cupboard bare.

Do you blame lack of effort on him? Do you blame him for mental mistakes? Do you blame him for players (who have only played under Buzz) not picking up the offense/defense?

I get that Crean is the source of every one of MU's problems but follow your leader (from either tribe) and take ownership of what's your problem and not excuse it by blaming those long gone.

We have the talent to be competitive. We lack the experience needed to win close games. It does not help that Butler rather be a role player than a go to guy. Also, no one here would argue the fact that DJO has gotten off to a disappointing start. We are very inexperienced and our two most experinced players need to step up more than they have been. Butler missing two front ends of one and ones against UW in the second half was a killer. I look at what happen to Notre Dame and Georgetwom two years ago with talented, but inexperience teams and I have to believe we win only 6 or 7 games in the Big
East this year. Sure we have talent, but with the exception of a couple of teams every team in the Big East has talent. Next year we will have more experience and will fare better. The year after that we will be really good when Cadougan, Otule, and Williams are seniors and Wilson, Gardner, Smith, Blue and Jones will be juniors.

I think this is spin.  Marquette was down significantly in all three games and only rallied late to keep the final margin more respectable.  It's not like we were close the entire game and then just couldn't pull it out.

+1.  The premise of this thread is nonsense.  We lost each game handily.
