I am going to pull a Richard Sherman and straight up tell
you the truth; this Marquette basketball team stinks. This is as obvious as the
fact that I have a Latina fetish. Why is this so obvious? Well, I walk around
screaming to the heavens my love for women of Latina…oh you were talking about
the basketball team.
Watch one game of Marquette basketball and you will see a team in disarray. Point guard Derrick Wilson is as apprehensive to shoot the ball as I am approaching a woman without downing some Fireball, while chasing it with Coke Zero, beforehand. Side note: if you chase anything with Coke Zero, let me know. I need to find someone else that loves Coke Zero as much as me.
Anyways, Jamil Wilson is as inconsistent as they come. One game he is shooting lights out and other games he makes Dylan Flood come across as an All-American.
Todd Mayo is well, Todd Mayo. Somebody please tell me why players like Mayo are blanketed by the “violation of team rules” narrative. Mayo has all the talent in the world, but has never committed himself to the program.
God bless you Davante Gardner. Your back must hurt from carrying the team all season. Gardner alone will not lead this team to the NCAA tournament. Another go to scorer must come out of the woodwork and show up game in and game out in order for this team to succeed. Even if it might be too late to savage this season, I think I have found "the guy" for the future.
I was unable to watch the Butler-Marquette game this Saturday. While Derrick Wilson had a rare offensive outburst in the loss (13 points), I was busy stuffing my face with cheesesteak in Philadelphia.
After hearing what happened in the game, I became infuriated with one thing that happened. Was it that Marquette lost? Heck no. I partially enjoy that the Golden Eagles are struggling this year. This provides me and my co-host DJ Vogt ample material to rant about on our radio show, The Sports ReKap.
What I was upset about, was that Deonte “The Chosen One” Burton played exactly four minutes. While it may come out that Burton was injured and Buzz wanted him to rest, as of right now it appears that Burton was indeed healthy.
This leads to two questions. First, why did Buzz have him sit? Second, why did Burton sitting upset me so much? I can only give you an answer to the second question.
I love Deonte Burton. In my eyes, he is the future. All I care about right now in regards to Marquette basketball, is the future.
The Golden Eagles, now 10-8 (2-3 in the Big East), are not going to the NCAA tournament and may not make the NIT. Say good-bye to the seniors and just move on.
Ok, so back to my admiration for Burton. It is rare for me to have positive feelings towards a basketball player. This is no secret. Does this rub people the wrong way? Absolutely. If you ever want to find me at a Marquette home game, just listen for the Italian accented voice screaming “You should have transferred (insert player name here)”.
With Burton it is different. He gives me hope. Burton has shown play making ability since the beginning. He creates his own shot and slashes to the basket in ways not seen by most freshmen.
Burton has exceeded the hype unlike some of his teammates. His dunk against Samford was on every high-light reel. He does not have Derrick Wilson’s apprehensive tendencies or Jamil Wilson’s inconsistency. Burton does not have Todd Mayo’s desire to get in trouble off the court. Most importantly, he (and John Dawson) came to a party that me and my buds hosted. To sum it up, he is everything the upperclassmen on this team are not.
It is time to start getting the terrible taste of this season out of our mouths. Thankfully, “The Chosen One” most likely has three more years at Marquette. This gives him plenty of time to continue to impress fans, while cementing himself as one of my man crushes.
