I didn't get the outcome I wanted, but I can't say enough good things about Burden's play today. Earlier this year, I was a bit critical of him, because I felt like he was trying to force things. We would dribble into the tall trees and get blocked or miss the layup.
He has the formula down now, if there is not a huge defender camped out below the basket, he uses his amazing speed and acceleration to beat his defender to the hoop. He has enough separation to get a clean shot. Liberty had no answer for him.
I know the lack wins is frustrating for everyone, it will be interesting to see who will return. With Burden, Rodgers, and Youngblood we have the nucleus of a very good team. Many of the other players are solid too.
