Derrick cannot hit a driving layup if there is someone by the hoop...that was at least the 3rd one today where it wasn't even close  

[Boozemon Barro]

What's the point of having Davante in if we're not going to get him the ball in the post. If D Wilson is going to shoot contested shots around the rim, we might as well just catch a plane ride home at half time.

[4th and State]

Why is STJ helping Derrick in the backcourt on a press?

[WarriorDoc]

Burton's facial expression seemed equally confused.

Last year it was hockey-style substitutions, this year it's absolutely pointless substitutions.

[LloydMooresLegs]

It's surprising how uncomfortable he looks on the press break--seeing that, it is hard to understand why he has that role--SJT that is

[AirPunches]

The save was a bad call.  The player stepped out of bounds to get around Derrick and never stepped back in bounds before touching the ball.  Horrible call.

No, it was just a pathetic effort by Derrick. He had all day to just grab the ball.

[GoldenWarrior11]

It's a bad sign we are having issues breaking a half-court trap.  No one is coming to the ball because everyone is just standing around waiting for someone else to take charge.

One thing Buzz should figure out: play the freshmen and keep Jamil at the far end of the bench. It's impossible to overstate how worthless he has become.

[geagles10]

We do NOT pass the eye test, wow.  Not like that is new news but still

[Boozemon Barro]

Because Jake is needed in the corner

[WarriorDoc]

LOL Derrick with the slowest laziest pass I have ever seen.  It's just a joke now.

[GooooMarquette]

Lazy play by Derrick, but the ref still blew the call.  Should've been MU's ball.

[LloydMooresLegs]

much better to have ox breaking the press

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

We just let their center go coast to coast on us...

[4th and State]

Because Jake is needed in the corner

Why not Mayo or someone that can actually dribble.

[MattyWarrior]

The toughness we had in past years is missing, this offense stinks, its so easy to defend. We have at least 2 players
on the floor who can't score.

[GooooMarquette]

Bad Todd with a bad pass to bad Jamil.  TO.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

JW should have caught that Mayo pass.

Derrick is the least dangerous point guard in all of college basketball. You simply do not have to guard him.

[JWags85]

Mayo is the only one playing with urgency.  And then a turnover because Jamil wasn't paying attention and Mayo wasn't sure what he wanted to do with the ball.  Ugh

[Norm]

Jamil needs to ride the pine for about 10 minutes to get his head out of rear.

[Boozemon Barro]

Based on effort, Villanova looks like they are the team on the bubble.

[T.V. Diener 34]

If we somehow cut this to 5 before halftime I'll be happy as crap

Jamil is one of those guys that you can tell within the first 5 minutes if he is going to have a good game. Today he should be staying warm with his sweats on sitting the bench.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

We need a stop score stop score to end the half
