Great job by Derrick Wilson. Buzz said after the game that Wilson had a death in the family and missed 2.5 days of practice. He really stepped up handling the offense, and played solid defense.
Buzz also said he has told the team, Junior and Derrick that Derrick kicks Junior's butt every day in practice, but he still goes with Junior as a senior leader. Tells Derrick that in two years when there are guys playing better than him on the team, he will get that same benefit of the doubt. I like Buzz referring to his coaching this team two years down the road and how he develops loyalty within the team.

I think in the last 1.2 seconds MU should have had 5 guys spread out at the three line, and nobody inside the paint. Wilson looked to me like he was guarding the area where they expected the pass, ball side wing with someone coming off a screen for a 3. Can't believe someone on the team didn't recognize the guy at the top of the key.

That aside, MU played another tough gritty game that will be their calling card in this years Big East. Vander, Juan, Jamil, Todd all hitting from three. Hopefully that breeds confidence. D. Wilson's confidence with his play has to be growing.

Bottom line 3-0 in the Big East having played UConn, G-town and Pitt on the road. I'm very happy.
