A classic...

Except he didn't come to Marquette even after Buzz was named the head coach. Apparently TC did something.

Taylor's dream school was Kansas, and Self and co. saw an opening when Crean left. I can't remember where I saw it, but Taylor said Marquette and Buzz was his second favorite school/coach, but he couldn't pass up going to Kansas.

He always thought Wes Matthews was an NBA level guard.  That's why he implemented an offensive system that maximized his talents.

Awesome!!!

... from our self-serving ass of a former head coach.

@TomCrean: When we signed Tyshawn TaylorDameon Mason at Marquette, I always thought he was A National Championship level guard. I was rightwrong.

Why do you guys follow Tom Crean on Twitter?

I don't.  But this quote was retweeted by @SethDavis.

I get hyperbole and all...but come on. If you're referring to the actual month of March, Taylor won 7 games this year, 1 regular season, 1 B12T, and 5 NCAA. Junior has already won 10 games in the calendar month.

If you're referring to all postseason games, it was 6 for Taylor, and Junior has already won 8 (4 BET, 4 NCAA).

If you're only referring to the Big Dance, Taylor won 5, Junior has 4 already with one season to go.

I get that people love playing the "what might have been" card, but I don't think we go from Sweet 16 to NC runner-up if the only change you make is Taylor for Junior. As good as Taylor is, he's a better scorer but worse ball-handler. He'll always earn more plaudits than Junior because of the points, and he's probably overall a slightly better player, but it's not like we're talking about a Magic to John Paxson type comparison. Both are good players and I can't wait to see what Junior does as a senior.

I guess we need to find another color to print text so people can understand what words mean.

I was talking about Taylor actually winning a game, whether it be with a great defensive play or a clutch shot, etc.

There are players who step up at the time it is desperately needed to carry their team to a win even if they've played shitty for the first 38 minutes. Ty Taylor is a kid who has done that throughout his four years, even during his seven or eight turnover games.

Cadougan has won a couple games in this manner during his career but he'll be nowhere near the number Taylor achieved.

Cadougan had a higher turnover percentage last year than Taylor by the way.
