Right about now is when Buzz takes out Burton...a la SDSU

Or keeps him in til he fouls out, ala St. John's

[BenCat12]

Jake is so all or nothing. SMH
Georgetown all
today nothing

[jesmu84]

Buzz doesn't like players that can create their own shot.

lol. ignorant

[Nevada233]

FREE BURTON!!!

[LloydMooresLegs]

burton has no conscience.  Love it when its workin

[GoldenWarrior11]

With the exception to his foul on a 3, I am REALLY impressed with Burton.  He is a gamer.

[marquette09]

Too bad we wasted five minutes with our starters.

[ecompt]

when does Buzz remove Burton and put Jamil back in, thus destroying any chance at a comeback?

[warriorstrack]

Could they even play a home game with the NCAA hosting @ MU?

BC prob out, but they could fill up the cell if they had the game on Wed or Friday,  all NCAA fans would be looking for something to do

[NersEllenson]

Or keeps him in til he fouls out, ala St. John's

Which nobody would have a problem with...it is almost sad at how easy he makes the game look...and how much of a struggle Jamil has had this season.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Burton looking great. Wish Jamil had his fire

[geagles10]

Terrible call falling for Hilliards flop.  Cost us 3.

They need to change the rule where the foul needs to actually be on the shot it self, not seconds after the ball has hit the rim and the player is falling over.  I never remember it being called as much as it has been this year when the players shooting arm and body are not touched during the shot motion

He going for his..... Solo Show... I love it. Keep Shooting

[Boozemon Barro]

Is there really still a Derrick debate? He's a below average backup point guard in the Horizon league. How could you possibly watch this season and think that kid deserves more than 4 minutes a game?

[JWags85]

What have you see today that makes you believe this team is capable of anything you just mentioned?

They are struggling on the road against a top 10 team.  That tells me nothing about their ability to beat NCAA bubble teams either at home on Senior Day or on the road against a team who lost to Seton Hall at home and recently lost by double digits to a Georgetown team we just swept.

couldn't disagree more.  most games he gives you a little bit of everything.  And he's had a few really good games.  And this one is bad.

[jesmu84]

Burton looking great. Wish Jamil had his fire

or his first step. or creativity with the ball

[AirPunches]

Burton should only sit if he fouls out. Jake should only play if everyone else fouls out.

I'm starting to disagree on jake. He has been pretty solid. Think jamil should be the one sitting. He gives us his number more times than not. Zero.

[mviale]

When will they get jake Thomas out of this game?

[jimmybutlerfanatic]

Free Burton.


He hasn't "earned it", aka our staff is unable to develop a top 40 player to crack the rotation of a very flawed team by the end of the season and wants to put the blame on the player.

But can he create Paint Touches?!

I think those are worth 5 points each. No, wait they count for 0. Basketball has to go through the hoop to get points.

WHAT THE unnatural carnal knowledge STRIPES!?!?!?! OCHEFU JUST LINEBACKERED THOMAS!!!! CALL THE DAMN FOUL

The RPI projections show that even if they beat St. Johns and Providence and win their first game of the BET, they still are likely out of the big dance.  Appreciate the positive outlook, but you are incorrect.

[forgetful]

That and Burton was fouled on the other end on his shot.

[wardle2wade]

How do they not call a charge on Pinkston ramming into jake precluding that 3.  Throw us a bone.
