Excuse me? I refuse to give any critique of Derrick's game? I most certainly have. I think he is a fair point guard who is above average defensively. Can he be the point guard on a national championship team? I don't think so. Can he be the PG on a S16 caliber team? Sure...with the right pieces around him.

But I also think he is getting an inordinate share of the blame for Marquette's troubles this year. Every season seems to have a whipping boy, and this year's is Derrick. This team has a lot of problems....lack of a slasher who can get the ball into the lane...inconsistent outside shooting...giving up too many offensive rebounds...

But furthermore bitching about something over and over and over doesn't really mean anything unless you have some sort of solution.
