St. John's game thread

Put in Flood so he can say he played in the Garden

[77ncaachamps]

Well, Derrick has outscored everyone on our team today other than Deonte and Jake.

Easy to do when Todd, Jamil, Chris, and Ox don't look for their shots.

Plus, this is scrub time...

[warriorstrack]

Hate that we lost, I hope Buzz in post game calls it like we all saw it a clunker.  Buzz tries to sometimes gloss over losses with stats like, we kept under there average points like the Creighton game, just say we got b-slapped and get ready for Butler

[NavinRJohnson]

Has Jamil sat the entire second half???

Yep. Mayo too.

[jesmu84]

Those that think Jake is not a good defender, better have been watching him on Harrison.  He has drawn him for the past 4 or five minutes and shut him down.  Something the freshman could not do.

If anything this game should be a good clue as to why Jake had been in the starting lineup and why it may be prudent to put him back into it.  

+1. and that's not even mentioning that St. John's is still paying attention to him all over the court on the offensive end.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Agree.  As usually one of them, to call him out today, really?  If you want to add him to a list of 11 I suppose that's fine.  But Chris Paul could have played point today and we still wouldn't be close.

Chris Paul would have had 30 points in this game at least, or in any game against college athletes for that matter.

Do coaches give some humble pie?

Not saying Derrick is playing a great game by any stretch.  But those singling him out today are clueless.

Yeah but DW and Jake are the only ones showing heart and effort in the last minutes.

What happened to our T-shirt cannon at home games?  mystery solved bring back the cannon

Jake plays his hardest. Derrick the same. I think all the players who played in the second half gave it everything the had except Gardner. Fact is jake, Derrick, Juan, john, JJJ, burton, etc were all meant to be role players this year. The bulk of the scoring and playing time should have been occupied by j Wilson, Gardner, and mayo every game. Those 3 have not been consistent and have really ruined the season. Not going to start complaining about the other less talented players. Those three let MU down this year. Thankfully, they will all be gone soon.

In watching these final minutes, I'm actually getting kind of giddy thinking about the Derrick Wilson-led Marquette squad of 2014-15.

Jamil has sat whole second half, has Mayo played?

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Well, Derrick has outscored everyone on our team today other than Deonte and Jake.

Really? He made a few uncontested layups and finally some free throws, and as 77ncaachamps said it was in garbage time. As I said I don't dislike Derrick but stop trying to build him up into something he isn't.

I've got a problem with this.

Even I can play my hardest. But it doesn't mean he deserves to be out there.

[MattyWarrior]

First time I actually turned the game off, every time we play a 7-footer the result is the same. Awful
watching Otule lately,at least lose competively. JT does not belong out there.

[Daniel]

What a game. Time to hit the bar.

Just so you know, he airballed that first free throw... it touched the net but it did not go in....

[Scooter22]

Nope.

The problem with our team is that our two most talented players, Mayo and Wilson, who both (arguably) have NBA level talent, have very little drive and are very inconsistent.  When the best players on your team don't show up, it's hard to win.

Thats what I thought.  Buzz just threw in the towel and played  different lineup to shake things up.  Too bad it did not work out.

He doesn't and that wasn't my point. The seniors let MU down big time this year. That's not jakes fault. Jake left because he wasn't going to be on scholarship. I expected nothing from him and he is playing decent defense and is a threat from the outside. The seniors have no heart. I for one will be leaving the Bradley center directly after St. John's whoops them again on senior day. They will be speaking in front of an empty BC.

That's just hilarious.  After watching this horrendous game that is the one conclusion that no one should have came to.

Not trying to build him up.  Just pointing out that the people singling him out today are clueless.  Also was nice to see one MU guy play until the end.

Nothing more, nothing less.
