St. John's game thread

I'm really sick of Deonte Burton shooting every time he touches the ball. He's out of control and is a black hole on offense.

[forgetful]

Because he never made contact?  I thought #14 went over Juan's back on the rebound anyway.

Sadly, I think that is the case, seems illogical to me but I think that is the official rule.

[NavinRJohnson]

Burton still way too much of a wild child, but he has a little Jae Crowder, Vander Blue, etc. in him. Willing to try to go out and whip some ass.

MU is 3 for 7 from ft, but two front end misses.

MU has 3 total assists in the game.  3........

Burton not bashful, but at least he has the talent and wants it the most out of all of them.

Look at the bright side - Jamil will be extra fresh for Butler.

[ecompt]

Burton is out of control a lot, but as a freshman he will learn. Jamil and Todd, on the other hand, are upperclassmen who are setting an awful example.

Offense:  YAY BURTON!!
Defense: WTF BURTON!!!

He is often out of control...but I'd rather lose by being overaggressive and sometimes out of control (Deonte, Juan) than by standing around (Jamil).

My biggest problem with Burton is his defense....

Screw it, I'm getting drunk

[nyg]

Five minutes in and Buzz has not made a sub yet.  Record?

Offense:  YAY BURTON!!
Defense: WTF BURTON!!!

LOL - my thoughts exactly.

SJU: blockers and 3 pt threats
MU: ???

[chapman]

Still no subs this half, six minutes in.  Interesting.

What's with the stripper music from the SJU band?

That's one good looking dance team.  Probably hoping some of them will start stripping?  

[jsglow]

Jamil has not played a second this half.

Burton was clearly fouled on the dunk.

[muhoops1]

Juan for Threeeeeeeeee!  No

[DCWarriors04]

how many shots are we going to give Harrison that are WIDE FREAKING OPEN...who's even guarding him?

[77ncaachamps]

Deonte is playing aggressively and is doing something many Warriors aren't doing: taking it AT the Johnnies hard.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Where is Gardner?????

[GooooMarquette]

Guess I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue....

[NavinRJohnson]

Those of you wanting to go down playing the freshmen are getting your wish. Buzz not taking them out even when they ask. This is almost like BobHuggins making Eric Martinleave the bench.

And oh by the way, it is hideous on the defensive end.

[forgetful]

how many shots are we going to give Harrison that are WIDE FREAKING OPEN...who's even guarding him?

That was equally on Burton and JuJuan.  Burton didn't hustle around the pick. Jujuan didn't step out.  Previous miscue was on Burton who followed a cutter away from the play instead of staying on harrison.

This one was on Burton who was cut reaching on a defender and closed poorly and fouled him.

[DCWarriors04]

Harrison drilling 3s and no adjustment yet...
