I love Buzz.....

I love Buzz, too.  But his poop stinks and when attempting to walk on water, he sinks.

They could walk enough to build a 16(?) point lead and choke it away with about 5min left. Look I'm not making indictments about that team. My point is Buzz had a propensity for building big leads that would disappear at the end of the game and we'd end up losing and somehow all the people who are hating on Wojo forget that.

Personally I'd be happy if Wojo could get us to the point of building big leads against Top 20 caliber teams, even if it resulted in us blowing some of those leads. 

You seem to struggle making the distinction in grace between Buzz and Wojo.  Buzz earned the grace through skins on the wall/post season success.  So far, our crowning achievement in 4-years of Wojo's tenure was beating Number 1 Nova last season, and getting an NCAA bid, only to be blown the F out in Round 1.

This is absolute bull$hit and ridiculous to write, utter, or even think.

No way any MU fan, most especially you, would handle in a mature fashion Wojo coaching a team that blows double digit leads resulting in losses multiple times a season. Fantasy porn.

Blown out by a Final Four team in which we were tied with roughly 9 minutes to play and ran out of gas.  Anyone that watches the NCAA tournament should know style of play and match ups are so important.  USC a bad match up for several teams which is why they went to the Final Four and damn near played for the national title.

And Buzz's crown achievement, at the point of the Washington, was taking our best team since the FF and losing in the round of 32 and beating no13 Villanova. Then taking us out in the round of 64 after coughing up a massive lead.

Hindsight is 20/20 with Buzz but people are much harsher on Wojo.

If you are talking about the Orlando tournament game, it was the 3rd game in three days. I was at that game.  We were short handed. They were exhausted. There was nothing left in the tank.  They could barely walk after that game.

I don't want to get involved in this disagreement, but these facts are incorrect.  I went to all 3 games.  We beat Xavier on Thanksgiving day in the afternoon.  We then beat Michigan on Friday afternoon.  Saturday was an off day as it always is in the Orlando tournament, because they don't want to compete with college football (specifically the Florida/Florida State game).  We then loss to FSU in the championship game which started at 9:00PM on Sunday night.  So the Michigan game ended at about 3PM on Friday and the FSU game started at 9PM on Sunday.  I don't think fatigue was a factor.

Say what?  None of this makes any sense.  Buzz's crowning achievement was the Elite 8.
Two Sweet 16s.  Yes, we lost in Round of 32, without Dominic.  Blew a lead against Washington in the Round of 64 - but the mere fact we were in NCAA that year was a coaching marvel.

To the bolded - Because Wojo hasn't achieved anything close to what Buzz did.

Reading comprehension is a skill you should develop. Where my previous statement says "and buzz's crown achievement, at the point of Washington, was..." means that the time frame I'm referring to was up to the end of buzz's second year when these types of losses were considerably more frequent.

I would say getting to the Top 10 prior to our 4 year starting PG getting hurt with his first team would be a decent achievement.
