Buzz postgame

[Newsdreams]

Chris was the difference in this game. He might not be a good coach and people might think he is not a good coach (looking at scoop before the post game?). He believes in people and it is all about people, he does not care what people tweet about Derrick, he does not care what Mike Hunt or anybody thinks, he believes in Derrick. He knows Derrick can't shoot or make free throws he understands that, but when the game was on the line he gets a layup and then even though he can't hit FT's he hits one ......

Aright this is just getting ridiculous if he seriously said this sh it.

The game wouldn't be on the line if he had a normal PG's line.

I am not bashing derrick today, Buzz bias is borderline mental asylum at this point though. Dear lord. Championing a 1/2 trip to the line? I guess it did raise his season average.

[Newsdreams]

He did say it. Mac and Homer agreed...

"Derrick can't shoot.  I know that.  Derrick can't shoot.  Ok, got it."

I know we've beaten this horse dead and then some, but this line (and how he said it) has 100% killed my hope of making a BE tourney run.

Absolutely agree...it's really very sad.

Considering Dawson played a nice 11 minutes of uninterrupted ball today...yet couldn't sniff a minute in the 2nd half or overtime....yea....I'm with you.  We'll likely finish 2-2 from here on out, and then probably 1-1 in Big East tourney.  Head to the N.I.T. and make quarterfinals...

[downtown85]

Try to enjoy the ride people.  he's our coach and he ain't leaving anytime soon (i hope).  still lots of basketball coming up including Georgetown in a few days.  there's still hope.  

survive and advance.

With all his defensive statements lately, anyone else get the feeling that Buzz may be burning out at MU and might be interested in greener pastures?

I think he is doing one of his "us against the world" kind of things.

I like Dawson and expect him to be a good player for MU, but he gave away as many points as he scored... he made a bucket, and then his man scored on him. He gets turned sideways very easy and his man is gone. Not sure what game you were watching,

He does sound upset, not happy specially on this last interview.

[4everwarriors]

I think Derrick should only take 75 ft. shots, hey?

I've mentioned that Dawson got beat off the dribble some today...but it happened a lot with Derrick defending as well.  I'm not sure if for some reason it was part of the defensive game plan today to funnel their smalls toward Otule/Jamil..or DePaul just ran really good pick/roll action....but we seemed to have a lot of problems stopping penetration today - Derrick too.

Nonetheless, my take is that Dawson being on the floor makes 4 other guys on the team better on the offensive end...along with being an upgrade himself.  What he individually yields on the defensive end...in my view would be less than the gains made as a team on the offensive end.  Nothing I haven't said before of course..

We always seem to struggle with pick and roll defense

Dude if he's cracking because of this....he's got thinner skin than anyone thought.  This is a cake walk compared to other programs.  Hell one disinterested beat writer and a half dozen, small market TV stations.  This is easy compared to TC.  That seat isn't hot yet, and the alumni still love him, but when they turn it's gonna be ugly.

Bottom line...this is Buzz's team so he must own it in every sense.  He revealed in our adulation years past.  He created this "monster" now deal with it.  BTW his team was picked to win the conference.

Just saying he does not sound happy. Maybe he hates people hating on the players. This not sounding happy thing started when he was really upset about the students booing players.

If he doesn't want to be here then he should leave......that's what we say about recruits or transfers......right?

[PGsHeroes32]

Well yeah, students booing players is just wrong. I'd be pissed too.

Buzz isn't stupid. People are just people. If anything, MU fans are mild compared to most fanbases at bigger schools. If buzz left for greener pastures, I hope he understands that this team would be getting booed off the floor. He would be forced to play the higher ranked recruits like JJJ and burton. I don't think buzz wants that. I think he knows he has it good here.

Exactly. He is gets burned on almost every possession.

[jimmybutlerfanatic]

Obviously this is a tough season and not what anyone, including Buzz expected.

I'd say he's being true to himself with his DW stance but being disingenuous in saying he doesn't care what people say or tweet.

Wouldn't even address it if he really didn't care..

Sure, boo the students off the floor. Just how many schools does that happen at? Give me a break. If JJJ and Burton were as good as some of you seem to think, they would be starting. Outside of a few games in Nov/Dec. JJJ has not shown much.

He really singled Mike Hunt, Maybe he signed the scoop petition!
