Anthony Mason Out for St. John's Season Opener

Anthony Mason Jr.—the leading returning scorer and centerpiece of the Red Storm basketball team— is out for tonight’s season opener against St. Francis (NY):

Swingman Anthony Mason Jr. suffered a high ankle sprain in practice and missed an exhibition game against Molloy. He was going to try to get about 40 minutes of practice yesterday, but Roberts said he would not rush back his most versatile player.

Aw, crap. DJ Kennedy, 6’6” freshman swingman out of Schenly High in Pittsburgh should get the start, along with fellow freshman Justin Burrell (PF), junior Tomas Jasiulionis (C), sophomore shooting guard Larry Wright, and senior captain (and Big East’s returning assist leader) Eugene Lawrence. It’s St. Francis, but with the freshmen playing their first game—the aforementioned pair and likely Malik Boothe (PG), Paris Horne (SG), most likely Dele Coker (C), and possibly forward Sean Evans and guard/ forward Mike Cavataio—this could be an interesting game.

  • mjunior bleeds UMass maroon and thinks Red Sox are an appropriate accessory for anything. Having spent some time in Trampa, FL, he also believes in pirates. mjunior knows that the Duke basketball team is the Yankees of college basketball. His nightmares are often punctuated with JJ Redick's poetry. Read his regular blog, The Junior Page.

  • Pico was born a little colored boy in an orange and blue Mets manger. He also watched the Rams when they came to St Louis (after he arrived) and stunk, so he feels he has a right to follow them as they lose every single game. Seeing Jets coach Herm Edwards walking in the Bellagio in Vegas last year might be one of the best moments of his life. He is following the St John's Red Storm from lovely Chicago and blogs as often as he can, even though he can't see the games on tv... yet.

  • Greg believes everyone looks good in burnt orange. During his time at Texas, he learned about the wonders of every sport that UT plays. (Including badminton?) Though he detests any and all rivals, he has been known to lay with an Aggie or two. He has also seen the Spurs play in all three of their home stadia. His ramblings can be found at his blog, The First Day of the Rest of My Life .

  • Neverecho is the brilliance that allows us all to post. She is responsible for the design and many of the tweaks. Though a Duke graduate and fan, she is still a good person and enjoys a good story about basketball. She secretly thinks JJ Redick's poetry is dreamy.
