Marquette Madness schedule came out and there is going to be a coaches vs. players 3 point contest. Im taking bets and predictions. My money is on the coaches running away with it.
Coaches all the way. If Jake was back it would be a players landslide. 8-)

I thought that was a huge spread at first before I realized Nelson was Florida's all time leading 3 point shooter. Plus you know, Deiner.
I wonder if wojp was expecting this reaction and is using this as an opportunity to showcase how hard the team worked on 3pters

Will say Diener for coaches - he's a only few months removed from being a very good player in Italy.
JaJuan for players. Big year for him - I think we'll see why he's the highest rated recruit we've had in a long time now that his coach isn't a loon.

The problem with dunk contests is that they are purely subjective.
A 3-point contest is won by making the most 3-pointers!

Duh...because Deonte was playing too well and that likely would have resulted in us winning the game, and thus lengthening Buzz's time at MU...when he wanted out! Let's face it, benching your best player in the game for 6:30 of the last 7:00 minutes doesn't make any sense unless viewed through the above lens.
I do think Wally will give Deonte a good run for his money in dunk contest, yet doubt Wally will ever dunk on people in a game the way Deonte can and does.

Both incredible dunkers, but I have to give the edge to Burton for artistry. Ellenson can get up in a hurry but Deonte just has a knack for doing dunks that are aesthetically pleasing, somewhat like Vince Carter and MJ did.

My main goal for a dunk contest involving Burton would be that he not get hurt.
Maybe I'm just a sports Scrooge, but I HATE dunk contests and home-run derby. They prove nothing, they have become cliche and the risk isn't worth the reward.
No more risk of injury in a dunk contest than any other practice that these guys do. Wouldn't worry about it, plus we have plenty of boots.
Wally in the dunk contest slightly over Bane and Diener big time in the 3 point contest.
Players will win a close 3-pt contest.
I would expect if the coaches are ahead, they will go suddenly "cold" in the last round.

Agreed, Wojo was a gritty defensive, pass first floor general. However, the coaches have Diener and Nelson, two of the greatest 3 point shooters in the history of their respective schools. The current team has no one of that stature...yet.

Unless they're bringing the ATV back out for him to dunk over he'll be fine...

Reply anyway you'd like, I'll have no further comment, but I just have to say that your first paragraph sounds delusional. Are you saying that he felt he had to force Marquette to let him go? Didn't he have a buyout in his contract? Wouldn't making a sixth straight NCAA Tournament have led to increased interest from other schools in the off season?
Keep your eyes on Tyler!!

Some more on this. I actually went back and looked at the play by play.
Burton went out of the Xavier game at the 12:48 mark of the second half after he had missed a lay-up and had a turnover on two of the last three possessions. At the time Marquette was down by 3.
After he subbed out, Marquette played Xavier pretty evenly, and even grabbed the lead at one point. He came back in at 7:36 with Marquette down 5. He was then on the floor until 4:50 when they still were down 5. He had a lay-up, steal, and turnover during that stretch.
He was out until the 1:15 mark. During that stretch, Marquette cut the deficit to 3. He subbed in for Jamil at that point who had just missed two lay-ups that could have cut it to 1. He played until the :18 mark and they were still down 3.
So he was not benched for "6:30 of the last 7:00" of that game. As I see it, he was on the floor for almost half of the final 7:36. Objectively, you were completely wrong here.
He also didn't seem to have much impact on the stretches when he was in the game during the final 7:36. He went 0-1, with a steal, turnover and zero rebounds. Subjectively I am not saying it was the right decision. But let's not pretend that he wasn't out there AND that it would have been a no-brainer win had he been on the floor.

Wojo didn't score a lot, but he could shoot the 3. His career % at Duke was .364. To put that in perspective, NOBODY on the '12-'13 team hit that percentage, and only Jake and Deonte exceeded that last season (Deonte probably because he only took 8 shots).
I agree that Diener is better, but Wojo was no slouch....
