Buzz's Postgame Comments Prediction Thread

[77ncaachamps]

Post what you think he'll say.

"We got our butts whipped."

[forgetful]

That and we "had no heart" out there today.  You can't win "if you don't want it".

[nyg]

But we had a hard, great practice.

[We R Final Four]

St Johns not only has some great basketball players, they are even better human beings.

[ecompt]

Hopefully he says, "Perhaps I shouldn't have let them have a night on the town Friday"

[MUfan12]

"We had our best practice of the year yesterday."

"These are good kids."

[NCMUFan]

"We kept it under 20"

[Afroman]

"Jamil didn't play in the second half because he was playing like Softy Softerson."

[BenCat12]

He won't show up is my prediction.  Horrible result, another game at the Garden after....He'll be a no show.

Derrick is our elite defender, but I need some more which is why I did not have him guard Harrison today, wanted to see who else is. But I love Derrick's story, and he is a game changer.

Silence. Suspect theres a chance he may not appear because of this double header.

Just announced he is up next on postgame

Prediction:

"Give credit to ST Johns, but as all year no consistency and this time no heart from our players. I'm exhausted..."

Derrick is our elite defender, but I need some more which is why I did not have him guard Harrison today, wanted to see who else is. But I love Derrick's story, and he is a game changer.

You need to actually closely watch the games.  Derrick (or when he was in Jake) were assigned Harrison.  I just went back and watched a good chunk of the 2nd half.  Derrick was the primary defender.  When he was the defender, Harrison did not score (similarly the end of the 2nd half with Jake...Harrison did not score).  During that time Harrison scored 12 points on 4 possessions.  All 4 were guarded by Freshman...why.

First scoring possession, box-outs/rebounding left Burton on Harrison, he let him drive straight to the hoop where a foul was committed on a lay-up.  2-2 on FTs.

Second scoring possession.  Transition possession.  Wilson is the first one back so picks up a guy near the baseline.  Harrison is late down the court so (Jujuan ends up on him).  Harrison makes a 3.

Third scoring possession.  Transition possession again, MU picks up in a 2-3.  Harrison is on Burton/Jujuan's side of the floor.  Burton follows a player away from his side (guessing he forgot it was a 2-3 zone), Harrison left open makes a wide open 3.

Fourth scoring possession.  Derrick picks him up at the half court line.  Harrison passes to the wing (Burton's guy), and runs behind the player.  Derrick tries to go with Harrison to stay on him, per the game plan.  Burton waves him off and calls for the switch.  Derrick has to go with it at this point.  Burton gets into poor position and does not get back to the shooter.  3-pt basket and foul...makes the FT.  12 points, none of which are on Derrick.

That is why scorer's score sometime with an elite defender.  Because of transition possessions and switches they will have opportunities to score on someone else.

But continue with your mantra of bad defense and who plays well by only looking at the box score.

Now they say they might not be able to get Buzz do to next game

[jsglow]

Respectfully coach,  I watched every minute of the game.  I believe you could have had the courtesy to face Homer's questions after the game.  Thanks for listening.

[BenCat12]

He won't show up is my prediction.  Horrible result, another game at the Garden after....He'll be a no show.

LOL what do I win?

[mu_hilltopper]

No show.

Well, damn.  Now how are we going to judge the guesses in this thread?

[NavinRJohnson]

Silence. Suspect theres a chance he may not appear because of this double header.

Actually, I win.

[77ncaachamps]

No show.

Well, damn.  Now how are we going to judge the guesses in this thread?

Just lock the thread and, if our winning ways is any indication, pull it out after the SHU game.

[Tugg Speedman]

Actually, I win.

Congrats, good call and got the reason right too.

You can claim your prize ... I have a pound of blue Meth for you.

[NavinRJohnson]

Don't worry, I'm sure Mike Hunt will give us a very comprehensive report.

[BenCat12]

Don't worry, I'm sure Mike Hunt will give us a very comprehensive report.

+1
Mike Hunt is itching for a good story.....

[77ncaachamps]

Don't worry, I'm sure Mike Hunt will give us a very comprehensive report.

For once, if Mike wrote his usual, condensed article with two words "MU stinks," I may actually not have a problem with him.

[ecompt]

For $2.8 million per, Buzz should have the balls to show up and tell us what went wrong.
