His performance at Seton Hall wasn't much better from the shooting perspective, but he hit his free throws, was aggressive on the boards, and did some of the little things needed to win. I agree this team needs him to step up, but he has to do it away from the BC as well, especially if they still need to build the resume once they get to MSG.Alan Bykowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629130923151101785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-12808557677994202512014-02-16T14:47:14.883-06:002014-02-16T14:47:14.883-06:00I believe the Warriors can win 5 of there last 6, ...I believe the Warriors can win 5 of there last 6, but probably not Villanova in Philly, but Buzz must continue to use the lineup featuring Mayo. I'm not a Mayo fan because I really believe he plays for himself first, then the team second. However, what Mayo in the lineup does is change the way teams can defense the Warriors. Juan Anderson is a good role player, plays good defense and rebounds, but is an offensive liability and MU needs offense. The Xavier game was a prime example of Mayo's impact at the offensive end; the ball movement was better, the opposing defense was more conscious of Mayo's penetrating and thus Jake Thomas got his shots. Granted Jamil Wilson has been shooting better the last 2-3 games, but I also believe he's getting better looks when Mayo is in the game because he keeps defenses honest...don't come out on him and he will shoot (boy will he shoot), and come out and he has the skill, size and strength go go to the hoop! At this point in the season Buzz can't worry about hurting Juan Anderson's feelings, he must sacrifice his time for Mayo's, because MU can still play good defense, as they did against Xavier, they need offensive production and Mayo now seems to be providing that spark!Vinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370424270788130783noreply@blogger.com
