LJ BB: Balance

Mission Bay only had three players--out of only six who played--score more than three points in the Feb. 17 game against La Jolla.

Much gets made around the water cooler over how much the Vikings basketball team depends on one player. Actually, the Buccaneer case shows it's not that uncommon an issue.

For the visiting Bucs, guard Justin Moore, who averages 22.9 points a game, netted 22. Big man Armstrong Ojunkwu scored 15. He averages 9.5 points. Finally, James Burdette put in 8 points. Burdette scores at a 10.2 ppg clip.

Which is all to say, you're not always going to have scoring evenly balanced in the prep game. Players are young. It goes in cycles who attends your school in what year. And so forth.
