Now his team

(a team he put together from total scratch,

after being the last P4 hire

and most all portal guys locked up,

and after losing his best player early in the season

having to start a 6’5 center)

sits alone atop the SEC standings.

What an incredible story!

Said at the time I thought Bucky was a good hire. Worked out well for both him and A&M.

Buzz would have us winning rock fights, getting blown out by good offenses, losing 5 quad 4 games, barely in the tourney, out round 1.

Bucky gives us hope we can win games with offense and just as good of a defense.

I haven't seen A&M play yet this year but couldn't stand Buzz Ball so I'm glad that Bucky is doing well.

Buckyball is a certified badass. He is gonna be a problem in this league.

The decision to move on was correct.

I would say 90% of the fan base was happy when Maryland "stole" Buzz.

yeah, i think we'd even be fine losing with bucky for a year or two, but watching a better product.

the fact he's actualky winning is next to unbelievable.

And to listen to him, MAN! you know he inows his shite and players love playing for him.

Look at Buzz’s new team.

We were very fortunate to beat A&M but I came out of that game not very impressed with A&M. We played terrible. You’ve benefited from a pretty easy SEC schedule.
