WE NEED A POINT GUARD!!!!

[JoBo2756]

wahwahwahwahwahwahwahwah.

Didn't we win? I thought we did this when we lost.

[tower912]

Thats nice of you to stick up for him. However, he still sucks.

I'm still a real Marquette fan tho so don't be mad at me.

p.s. I've been saying for three years that he sucks.

I admire your mis-placed self confidence, bragging about being wrong for a long time without learning.

Junior played like a dumbass for about 90 seconds. Other than that, he was solid today. I'm a Junior fan...haters gonna hate.

[Hoopaloop]

When Junior's going north and south he's explosive and has great vision. He's a liability going east and west - his high dribble, lack of height and lack of lateral quickness lead to too many turnovers.

Lenny, this comment sums up nicely how I feel as well.


For those saying it was only 90 seconds, we watched a different game.  At this level, you cannot try throwing skip passes through 4 other players when you don't get the ball high enough.  Twice he drove in and got stuck and then tried a cross court skip pass that was intercepted.  Makes me want to pull what little hair I have left out of my head.

[Blackhat]

it was byu.   junior did good.



that said. .duane wilson would be welcome.

OK, I wasn't certain until now.  You are CBB.

He has a full head of hair unless he lost it after this Summer.  I'm sure those here that are Facebook friends of his can concur based on the pictures posted on his account.

I don't use teal.

[Hoopaloop]

   I need the teal handicapper sometimes.

This is the Dwight Buycks whining all over again.

And I predicted that this junior hate will turn out to be misguided As the Vander hate last year.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.  I think that people that hate on Junior really don't understand what he brings to this team.  Yes the first half at Louisville was bad, yes he had a bad 90 seconds today.  But without him the team is pretty much lost.

If we replayed the Louisville game without Junior we would have lost by 30.  Junior makes sure everyone else knows what they are doing and that they are in the right place.  Most of his turnovers result from his teammates not doing what they were supposed to and not being in the right place.

Playing PG at MU is the most thankless place in college basketball, we have become way too spoiled.

I'm loving this. Keep em coming guys

[Benny B]

I swear to God, if I ever end up the head coach of a D-I ball team, I am going to lobby my ass off trying to get the lot of you coaching jobs... for opposing teams.

[GGGG]

Junior will never be a super-star but you can go far with him as your point guard. I don't think he had a great game but he most certainly didn't have a poor one.

[Spotcheck Billy]

[Hoopaloop]

Some of this is the comparison of guards.  We are so used to having fantastic point guards at MU that when we have one that is good, but not great, it becomes noticeable.  Secondly, he was rated very highly as a recruit, so the expectations are high.  He has his terrific moments.  The three he hit today was a big shot.  It's the 3 to 5 minutes a game with the turnovers, the mental breakdowns, the bad decisions or the lack of defense that make one go crazy.

[Warriors 79]

Love the little guy eating popcorn...very cool.  What a 6 page thread of nothing.  Ok, the time stamp on stupidity remark  was spot on.

Geez Louise....expectations are SOOO  high.

BTW..Marq did win today, right?  Whaaa?...WON by 20?!?  This thread makes it sound like Junior LOST the game by 20.

wow....

You're trying too hard.

Not an a-hole. You just don't know what you are talking about. So stop playing the victim card.

I had barely gotten a compliment about Junior out of my mouth when he imploded for a couple of minutes. Buzz wisely took him out, coached him up for a minute on the sideline, let him sit for a short spell and then put him back in. Junior then played fine the rest of the way. Very nice coaching job.

Let's be fair. Everyone on the team has had a short sucky spell. Even Jae, about whom we now wax poetic.

Sure, it would be nice if Junior didn't have those implosions. We need a steadier hand from out PG. But he still makes the O go better than anyone else, so wishing for someone else -- for the next 5 games we'll play, anyway -- is counterproductive.

[77ncaachamps]

We need our PG to play less DB.

[GGGG]

Can we put this sh*t to bed now???  Great game by Junior.
