OT Marquette's Vander Blue NBA bound!

[nelsonmuntz]

Blue was always on the edge of being a star. He isn't a point guard, but he barely shot 30% from 3. He is on the short end of the range for a 2, and he didn't dominate at any point in college. How many NBA teams are weak at the 2? This is a position you have to show up ready to play, and Blue is not ready to play.

I think Blue was going to have a monster year on a very good Marquette team. I think Cadougan hurt him, because Cadougan is a genius and makes more bad decisions in a single possession than most players make in a game. But Cadougan was leaving. Blue would have gotten to play point, which is where he needs to be in the pros with his poor shooting. But that didn't happen, so now he is an undersized, poor shooting 2 guard that doesn't do anything especially well.

But we developed that cache while being a member of the Big East.

Your point was that Marquette was nothing before their success in the Big East, but now that they are not in the "Bi East," they have more to lose than most.

We too developed this cache, or ability to say, "We are UConn," while playing in the Big East. And like you said, we are also no longer in the Big East - we play Tulsa and Tulane.

A = B; B = C; yet A does not = C?

You guys like to use Tulsa and Tulane..........okay so Marquette has DePaul and Seton Hall.........Tulsa was basically as good as Marquette prior to BE (besides Wade) and after Butch Lee/Al Macguire days............it's not the best league at all and I'd rather be in w/the Catholic schools no doubt but I'd also rather be UConn no matter what league they are in next year.......all will work out!
