Man, if we could just get Rose playing close to how he was last year I’d really like our chances in Frisco

Draper on Burks is tough to watch

No Duffy in layup lines

I agree that Smart is the big issue. He went from our best offensive player to a very bad offensive player this year. Draper played more last year than this year. I don’t think it’s a matter of being exposed by playing more minutes, he’s just playing terribly. He’s not a great player but he can definitely play better. And Arikawe and Simmons aren’t key points of the offense but they have been bad, J Simmons being awful. Defense funnels the ball towards J Simmons and it works out great for them. J Simmons and Arikawe have terrible offensive ratings. We don’t need them to be key players, but they’re liabilities right now and it brings down the whole offense, which isn’t doing great outside of them. Yup

I would say the first Rice game

It’s ugly. Draper shooting 23% from the field and 26% from three. Arikawe is a big man shooting almost exclusively from the paint and he’s barely over 40% from the field and is 25% from the free throw line, Rose is 35% from the field and 28% from three and turning it over twice a game as a guy who shouldn’t be in position to turn it over much, and Gibson is 36% from the field and 33% from three, which doesn’t sound that bad by comparison. Last, Jahmiah Simmons is shooting 36% from the field when most of his shots come on drives which should be high percentage. He is 0-6 from three in conference play and is shooting 21%(!!!) from the FREE THROW line, and he’s getting there twice a game. I feel like we’re getting decent looks too. I’d like to say it’s just a lot of shooting funks at the same time, but it sure has been prolonged.

Big. On us to capitalize

The best teams don’t hang on to their OCs. Alabama has a new one every year

Yup 😢

Missed ya, 2017-2018 Rose

Getting solid looks when we aren’t turning it over. Keep it up

Like how we’re coming out aggressive, pushing the ball every chance. Problem is 6 turnovers 9 minutes into the game

I’m about to sound like a spoiled punk but watching this team play is just like last year before the CBI. Terrible offense every night, underperforming and don’t know how to play with a lead.

Coming tomorrow. Was also here Saturday. Holds a UAB offer as well

Quadruple double

Good for him. Also good for Kealon Jackson. If Jackson doesn’t supplant Mike Lawrence as a starter then he’ll likely be the top backup inside to both Lawrence and Darden

Also worth noting that Ashton Preston’s spot was already accounted for in this class as he was a senior, so he was leaving one way or another.

WKU beat Marshall so we are now tied for first

School record is 24 wins. Regular season record is 22.

Man. I don’t like the way we play with fire but even if this team isn’t as good as its record shows, 17-2 (5-1) is still solid

We haven’t been a good offensive team all year

Yes but it is concerning that all four of Fine’s backups (including Aune) will be freshmen. Both from an experience standpoint and, more importantly, once one of them is named the starter then the rest will all likely transfer because of how close they are in terms of grade classification.

Maybe you’re thinking of GMG24. I have seen him trying to get posters to create these threads with uniformity. Methods don’t have to be precisely congruent as long as the important stuff is in there

I never told you to do it that way. The way that Cerebus and I decided on doing it years ago was, in example, as follows: ’20 Wide Receiver William Nixon (Waco Midway) Year, followed by position, followed by name, followed by school name as it would appear in official standings (in parentheses). Year should have the apostrophe before the digits since we’re not saying they’re 20 feet tall, and position can be athlete if you’re unsure, and school name should be in parentheses. Over the last few years we haven’t really had consistency in these thread titles and so many people are creating them it seems like too tall a task to get everyone back on the same page, even if we pinned the format. I’m not gonna be a stickler about.
