Buzz is Clueless

[Nevada233]

I would not count on that. I do not think we will finish with an overall winning record, which likely means no NIT bid.

yeah... this team will prolly be sub .500

[WarriorHal]

Nit..... bound! I live in new york.. i'll be there...

That assumes we finish over .500. Not a sure thing by a mile.

[ChicosBailBonds]

We will finish above .500.  Unless they quit on Buzz, which I would be shocked if that happened. 

[willie warrior]

He will be the starting PG next year.  I expect that he will improve.  I would love to see Duane or Dawson being so good that they take the reigns from him, but I doubt it will happen.

it won't happen because Buzz is blind about Derrick--not because he "is a game changer"

[willie warrior]

Buzz may be a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. Derrick does pine time ASAP.

Not so sure about the stupid comment. He is Buzz's gamechanger and leading minute grabber.

MuBuzz Reply 36--- YOU GOT IT RIGHT!

I have read enough of your posts to realize that you would be one f*cking awful college basketball coach.

As bilsu pointed out, D. Wilson was MU's leading scorer in the second half and overtime.  And he's to blame for this loss?  Pathetic analysis.

I would be the leading scorer on this team if I was left unguarded every time down the court.

Do you think an opposing coach cares if Derrick scores 15 points? That just means he has the ball in his hands more often and I would think that is the opposing coaches game plan.

In my observations the biggest reasons this team is terrible this year in order
1) Derrick Wilson's shooting
2) Derrick Wilson's playmaking
3) Jamil Wilson's passiveness
4) Todd Mayo's inconsistencies
5) Buzz's lack of in game adjustments
6) Buzz's wacky rotations
7) Davante's attitude/effort

This is mostly spot on. This is also the reason Derrick should be sitting on the bench not only this year but forever...  Yeah - he had a good 1st half but he is also the main reason they choked a 12 point lead... lost season... and it looked so good setting up

[77ncaachamps]

Derricks mission needs to be revised. Just give us 10 minutes of max effort and let the other guys carry the rest if the load.

Yeah. But how often can Buzz do the sub-in/sub-out to cover DWil's weaknesses?

Really?

Simply laughable.  Derrick plays a solid game, and it's still his fault they lose.

Our problem is we can't score the basketball.  Way into the second half we had 13 points in half two. Not going to win if we can't shoot and score.  

[keefe]

The only problem with this team is L.O.F.T.

Lack of F ucking Talent?

I hear Ron Jeremy still has eligibility...

[TJ]

Will give you this.  Always amazed at how many times he gets blocked.

Nothing will ever be as amazing as the amount of times a 6' 9" Dan Fitzgerald got blocked on three point attempts.

[79Warrior]

We will finish above .500.  Unless they quit on Buzz, which I would be shocked if that happened. 

I am not so sure this team will finish over .500 in conference. I actually don't remember a Marquette team that has gone this deep into the season without a true road win.

What is going on with Buzz this year?  He really seems clueless and the team seems to lack direction and motivation.  It seems that Buzz has lost the players.  It's a real mess.

How dare you question the guy who has taken us to two Sweet 16's and an Elite 8? He is just having a slump and needs to keep doing what he is doing to get out of the slump.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Hope it is only a slump.  Do you really think so?

No, but obviously he does.

Always fascinated by the Coach X has lost the team comments (not specific to MU). What exactly does that mean? What is the evidence to suggest it is the case?

When there are no easy answers (ie., the talent just isn't there), try to rationalize it away by saying that the coach has "lost the team."

Sometimes, everyone can be doing their job and the company still doesn't succeed.

way more than a slump... and a georgetown/villanova are almost needed wins..... to turn this thing around.....

this team has no leadership..... when it counts there is no go to guy.....

mayos inconsistent, jamil is too passive and no one can get the ball to gardner..... so win one lose one... win two lose one.. is how this year will continue to go..

[willie warrior]

Yup, and when that happens significant changes are implemented.

Derrick Wilson was the only Warrior to shoot ever 40% today.  And he played about 40 minutes of defense on Butler's leading scorer, and actually was outscoring him for most of the game.

Seriously if you are going to criticize Derrick, this isn't exactly the day to do it.

Why? Because he was the least bad? This is Derrick Wilson's team. As the PG he is the leader. And leadership has nothing to do with FG %. It is only about winning. And this team is not just losing we are not even competitive. Our real record is 3-8.

Meminger, McGuire, Walton, Boylan, Rivers, Johnson, Smith, Hutchins, Henry, Diener, and James were leaders. I don't expect you to get that concept but please stop being so obtuse in your logic.

A loss in OT isn't competitive? A road loss at Xavier that was a one-possession game with 70 seconds to play wasn't competitive? Good logic there.

Oh good.  Now we are stooping to using made up "real" records?  JHC
