Why does the article call him much maligned, he having problems at MSU also?

Been booed and mocked by MSU fans. Not at last night's final horn though, I'm guessing.

Jamal got in foul trouble today, fouled out and only played 18 minutes, during the time he still managed to score 18 points and collect 6 Rebounds. Oakland won and is now 13-4 with a 7-0 Horizon League record. Rooting for Jamal and The Golden Grizzlies to make The Dance.

MSU fans can go back to despising him now.

Nice game for Theo yesterday. 4-4, 10 pts and at least one block. That team is loaded with talent and NBA bodies.

Theo wound up in the perfect place. He can play 10-15 minutes spelling one of the best bigs in the country, he doesn't have to worry about foul trouble, he has a legit shot at the Final Four, and he can pursue an advanced degree at a great university. It's perfect for Duke, too, as they have an experienced, hard-working backup at an important position.

Theo gave Marquette all he had for four years but I'm glad he moved on because it was time for both parties. Good on him that he landed in a great spot.

Saw that Garcia isn’t starting for UNC.  4 points on 0-4 shooting, but 11 boards Saturday in 20 minutes.

He had a concussion. First game back and he’s otherwise been a starter all season.

Think thats gonna change going forward.

Bacot is playing way too good right now and Manek has been clearly better as well.

Lazar picking up where the BIG 3 left off....

Agreed - Manek is the much better player this year. Bacot is on the short list for player of the year in my book.

Hopefully Traci Carter and The Hartford Hawks will be back in action Wednesday night . No Hartford games for 27 days due to protocals.

Yeah, Theo was a true warrior but  glad he's not on this year's team

In his last six games (one exited early because of injury), Dawson Garcia averaging 3.7 ppg in 14.7 minutes per contest for unranked UNC. Ouch.

From the Raleigh News & Observer:

North Carolina sophomore forward Dawson Garcia is out for tonight’s game against Virginia Tech while heading to Minnesota to attend to an illness in his family, according to UNC.

Garcia has played just three games since suffering a concussion in the Tar Heels’ win over Boston College on Jan. 2. The Heels split the two games he missed, losing at Notre Dame, but beating Virginia at home.

The 6-foot-11 native of Prior Lake, Minn., started 12 of the first 13 games of the season. He has come off the bench the past three games after returning from his concussion. Garcia, who transferred from Marquette, is averaging 9.0 points and 5.5 rebounds.

I’ll just put this here since he’s a former coach

Buzz loses at home to South Carolina by 11, bad loss for a squad with one of the weakest non-cons in America.
That’s 4 straight losses and another non-bid season for Buzz.

They have big road games at Tennessee and Auburn but the season is fading fast.

Hope this doesn’t turn into another former coaches deal and I almost didn’t want to post this because of that, but it kinda surprises me that I’m pulling for Buzz to fail. Not really sure why, I loved what he brought to Marquette and he gave us some great memories. I very rarely comment on former coaches so I get a pass here.

Maybe it’s because I’m starting to see that he’s always just cared about himself and he’s kinda slimey? It’s almost as if he’s nitpicked these “safety” jobs that he knew he would have a long leash in at VaTech and A&M.
I get that he’s at home in Texas and all, but is it just me or is his star beginning to fade?

Crap I did it again…

This is no means a defense of Buzz, but I've always kind of come to peace with the fact that basically all college coaches are mercenaries and money/job security/etc... will always supersede the things that keep the fans of their program happy.  Do I think a lot of his schtick is just that?  Absolutely.  Hes a very analytical, calculating, and shrewd guy who happens to be from Texas, not some folksy downhome yokel.  That being said, I don't think his "me first" or whatnot attitude is that different from most of the coaching world or that he's any slimier than the rest.

I think he took the VT job cause he wanted out of Milwaukee yesterday.  He wanted a Texas job but there was none at the time and so he went somewhere with lots of resources and low expectations/high flexibility.  It was always a stepping stone move.

A&M doesn't feel like a safety job pick tho.  He was an assistant there for a couple years.  It was his best assistant gig before MU.  Seemed like a good fit and got him back to his home state.  Its not like he took the TCU job or Rice.

But his star is definitely starting to fade.  Assuming he finishes the season under .500 in conference, there isn't much progress at all to speak of.
