Really took charge. He has been brilliant at times this year. I love this team and am really excited about our potential next year.

He is now our leading rebounder at 4.2 per
By the way like Kemba to Bazz, I see a Bazz to Boat effect in 2 years with Boat making his mark his senior year with the same opportunities and success.
I would be shocked if Boat stays 4 years. I think after 2014 -- and God-willing not after this year -- he seems himself as a 1st-round pick and bolts for the NBA.
Also, Boat sees himself as an equal to Bazz; he doesn't view Bazz as a mentor the way Bazz viewed Kemba. Maybe that's not what you meant though.
I really like Napier, but WTF Bazz? In this morning's paper ...
"We weren't with it in overtime," Napier said. "I was still astonished by [Cadougan's] three-pointer. I should have thought about fouling him quick, get him to the line and maybe we get a rebound."
Shabazz was to Wolf's right when Cadougan shot. He wasn't anywhere near him and hardly in position to foul him. In fact, I'm not sure what he was doing all alone with Wolf inside the arc, while the whole Marquette team was outside it. But water over the dam; he did play a great game.
One of the beat writers tweeted that six NBA scouts were scheduled to attend the game. Gotta believe that they were there to check out Bazz and Boat, in addition to anyone on Marquette. If I'm not mistaken, I think Boat briefly thought about leaving early last spring.
I like that quote to some extent. Putting the blame on himself and not on the other players. He seems like he can handle it.
He was dazed by how badly the team played defense on that play, so his reaction was understandable. But if he was dazed, then how to explain he took it to Marquette right away and scored 2 on the goaltend? He did well enough there. .
But it increases the chance that SN will be back next year and, although the loss of RJ is significant, I like this team next year if everyone else returns and the two recruits are decent freshman.Awesome player, our next All American, if he gets noticed. Which is another reason why not having a post season suxs. More importantly, the kid stayed on when others jetted, shorting him of a good frontcourt to play with. With his talent, that alone is exceptional.
He is a point guard mix of Khalid (balls/money on the free throw line), Taliek (leadership/team control), Ricky (tenacious/competitive), Marcus (passing), Chris (sharp shooter), AJP (slasher), Kemba (ball handling/moves), and Tate (rebounder). Kid doesn't give up, full of confidence and fears no one (including Boat). He's a mix of everyone, the real deal. If he had a great team to work with he would clearly in 4 years would be our best point guard ever (irrespective of an NBA career). If Ollie has him for one more year, he alone can get us deep into the tourney, just like Kemba, and perhaps have a long career at the next level (International/NBA).
Just imagine if he was surrounded by a strong frontcourt capable of handling his bullet passes. Anyway he's one of the best in college irrespective, and he's ours.
