pull-up jumpers from the 10-17 feet range, and two back-to-back, coast-to-coast layups that left the crowd breathless.

Burries, a 6-foot-5 senior guard who is a McDonald’s All-American, finished the game 15 of 22 on all shots and 4 of 6 on 3-point attempts. He was 10 of 12 at the free-throw line and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds and had a game-high three blocked shots.

He said he sensed before the game that he was going to have a special night.

“I felt like in the beginning of the day, going to shootaround with my teammates, that my shot was on,” he said. “My teammates were making me feel great. I was just loving the vibe.”

Burries’ first basket was a 3-pointer that tied the score at 7-7. He followed with another 3 to put the Mustangs on top 10-7. Riordan had a brief lead at 14-12, but that would be the last time the Crusaders had it.

Roosevelt was ahead 23-19 at the end of the first quarter and a flurry of Burries baskets in the second quarter, including one of his long-stride driving layups in the closing seconds, gave the Mustangs a 44-33 lead at halftime.

The Mustangs were up 63-46 at the end of the third quarter, with the state championship pretty much secured.

Mustangs senior point guard Myles Walker scored 15 points with four assists and three steals. Junior guard Jackson Haggins scored 12 points and was 6 of 6 at the free-throw line. Roosevelt as a team was 21 of 23 at the line.

Burries, who went into Saturday averaging 29 points a game, has offers from many colleges, including Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Michigan, UCLA and USC among others. It is unusual that a high school senior of his skills and stature has not committed, but Burries it seems is an unusual player in more ways than one.

He said his plan all along was to wait until his final high school game before choosing his college destination. That is a decision he will make with plenty of input from his father.

“I wanted to wait until after the playoffs,” Burries said. “Now that we just won, I’m going to try to figure it out with him.”
