St. John's game thread

[T.V. Diener 34]

Was sitting 10 rows up on the baseline for that shot.... Thing never had a chance

[Afroman]

Sure, let's have the guy who couldn't make a perimeter jumper or a free throw in an empty gym take the final shot in a double overtime game. Genius.

[brandx]

The last 19 seconds were a microcosm od this season. Derrick doing the only thing he knows how to do - dribble the ball going nowhere.

[Wojo'sMojo]

Well I for one am just shocked the game changer missed that  

[forgetful]

Fantastic play buzz!!!

That wasn't the play he drew up.  Watch Burton, either he was in the wrong place and didn't know where to go or someone else did not run the right play.  Ended up having both Burton and Gardner on the same side with nothing to do...someone didn't pay attn in the timeout.

[77ncaachamps]

I just have to laugh...I'm sorry, but that was so fitting

Derrick Wilson shoots that ball?!

I LAUGHED ALOUD!

Horsecrap.

A senior should have shot that.

DOWN WITH DERRICK.

[muhoops1]

Can Derrick graduate early?  Let's celebrate his last game now!!!!!!

[WarriorGreg1965]

A lot of the crappiness that was this season has to fall on Buzz.

Derrick taking the final shot?  Amazingly bad.

[Class71]

Tell me Derrick had to take the shot. Why was he on the court?

And THAT'S what you get for starting an offensively inept PG.

No excuses.

[mileskishnish72]

Any meaningful possession (or perhaps any possession) that ends with a Derrick mid-range jumper is an abomination.

[mugrack]

Jamil was too much of a kitten to take the last shot.  Playing scared

[MattyWarrior]

Why not Burton?

[towncryer]

I am gutted after this game.  We really could have won those last two games.  I'm not a D-Wil hater, but he absolutely has no business taking potential game winners.  

[forgetful]

That one of our bigs runs the wrong play it is on the PG?  Explain that one to me.  

[MUEng92]

I am going to choose to remember this senior class based on their first 3 years (or 5 in one case) and completely deny that this year even happened

[Markusquette]

if we're going to lose two double OT games in a row, that was a funny way to lose the second at least.

[steff_mckee]

He dribbled away half the time and then passed it Jamil who was right next to him and immediately covered...bad decision making

[brandx]

Why was he on the court for 48 minutes???????????

[mileskishnish72]

If I were Lavin, I would have had someone foul Derrick early on.

[NersEllenson]

Really shows how bad we hurt with not having Mayo.  Play should have been designed for Burton.  I really did want shot to fall for Derrick as much as the team...would have been a huge win...and nice for Derrick.  Another bitter pill to swallow after Providence..

[nyg]

Why was he on the court for 48 minutes???????????

Yes and he had 2 points.  

[brandx]

That one of our bigs runs the wrong play it is on the PG?  Explain that one to me.  

How many times are you going to defend Derrick after another horrible game. It WASN'T just the last play.

[chapman]

Not another timeout.  Let's hope the play breaks down so we manage to get a shot off, whatever Buzz is drawing up will be terrible.

The ball in Derrick Wilson's hands for 10 of the final 13 seconds, including the shot attempt.  Buzz, please hire a competent assistant and have him take care of these situations.  Or just don't call the timeout because whatever wizardry you think up never works.

That wasn't the play he drew up.  Watch Burton, either he was in the wrong place and didn't know where to go or someone else did not run the right play.  Ended up having both Burton and Gardner on the same side with nothing to do...someone didn't pay attn in the timeout.

Then draw up a play they will understand.  It's never the play Buzz draws up because he does not draw up plays that have a chance of working.

[NickelDimer]

Attn everyone accusing Buzz of drawing that play up for DW....pull your head out of your ass
