Not sure where to put this, but we've had a lot of discussion as to whether great shooters are 'born', 'made', or "coached up'.
Exhibit A: This year's stats against six cupcake opponents by our old friend Justin Smith:

GP	MIN	FG%	3P%	FT%	REB	AST	BLK	STL	PF	TO	PTS
6	27.0	46.2	20.0	52.2	5.5	1.3	0.8	1.2	1.8	1.7	12.3

 
 

Him and his dad are right, needs to be shooting more jump shots 🤦‍♂️

I couldn't really read this because the numbers are all over the place on my phone, but I think it 20% 3FG right?

Calipari cancelled UK's scheduled game against Mike Davis's Detroit Mercy team. Neither team has Covid issues, and both teams have games scheduled before and after this game; none of these have been cancelled. 

UK could use a win, and haven't cancelled any of their tougher games. 

Calipari's son plays for Detroit Mercy.

Theories?

Question:  Why did the chicken cross the road?

 

Answer:  To avoid playing Detroit Mercy and getting another "L" from his son's team.

DJ Carton and Dawson Garcia tore it up for Marquette last night. What could have been!

Very good news on the condition of Keyontae Johnson.

Did Ohio State also recruit Garcia if so must really sting for them

Yes, having those 2 on our current roster would make us a national threat.

St Louis is really good.   They got some players.   They should be the favorite in the A-10.    Between St Louis and Richmond and I would lean St Louis.  
Sycamores down 19 with 8 min to go

Tennessee starting 5 lefties!

Minnesota has SLU this weekend. Casual fans are gonna think it’s an upset when they go into Williams and win it. We know better.

The Garcia miss IMO was an extremely huge miss for IU.  To have him and TJD would have been ideal!  Then to have Logan come in the following year.

The Supreme Court is going to hear the pay for play arguments.  Really interested to see what the outcome is.

Another postivie update on Keyontae Johnson.

Gators Athletic Director Stricklin said on @ESPNGainesville that Keyontae Johnson has progressed. He’s been sitting up, having good conversations, laughing and smiling. He also says Johnson is still going through more tests.

[Uspshoosier 45,678]

Cuse up 1 on northeastern with 8 min to go.    If you got ACC network it should be a good finish 

[Uspshoosier 45,678]

All transfers are now eligible to play this year.

That I'm surprised by but IMO I don't see it going anywhere.
