A few random musings:

1. I have said this multiple times and continue to wonder why we can’t get a big like AO or Rick Jackson again. Rick was a 4 star and AO was a 3 star so it’s not like they’re 5 star AA types in high school. Amazing to watch how dominant we were down low with the two of them. Solid and skilled big men who protected the lane and took up space as well as polished offensively.

2. Andy didn’t score a single point but he undoubtedly was our team leader. Loved his composure and leadership. I remember debating whether he or Wes would win Big East POY.

3. Speaking of Wes, he may have only played one year but he will forever be one of my favorite players in an orange uniform. He was always so fun to watch and was another ultimate team player although he was an Uber-talented star.

4. Buzz always has and always will be annoying, but a good coach. He got reminded a number of times to get back in the coaches box by... Jim Burr ha.

5. Burr got me wondering when did he and Higgins officially retire? I assume they both retired the same season, which is fitting considering how both of them tortured us as fans.

6. Lastly, I never would have thought that a young Jimmy Butler playing power forward would turn into an NBA All-Star. Really developed as a player. He, Lazar Hayward, Crowder and Johnson-Odom drove me nuts. For a few years (09-13) we had a nice little rivalry with Marquette going, obviously highlighted by NCAA tournament meetings in 2011 and 2013.
