Boothe To Play on Friday for Johnnies
Written by Theo Rabinowitz
Sophomore guard Malik Boothe, who suffered a hip pointer after colliding with 6-10 forward Dele Coker during practice last week is expected to play in the Red Storm's first game on Friday against LIU, according to a St. John's spokesman. The 5-foot-9 starting point guard missed a few practices following the incident, but was back to participating in full-contact practice on Wednesday.
Boothe started in six games in 2007-08, and figures to be an integral part of coach Norm Roberts' squad, as St. John's is thin at the lead guard spot.
