I’m hoping it breaks out tonight.   Tough road game for McNeese tonight

Wade in the Big East? Based out of Chicago? My god, that would be incredible.

I can't say with absolute certainty, but I'm pretty certain Indiana State clears $200k in NIL.

So UNC has climbed all the way up to #3 in the latest polls. Remember when UNC fans wanted a new coach? UK is #6, after their roster was in shambles and their fans were howling last spring. Kansas and Duke are both in the top 15 even though we got Mgbako instead of them. 

 

Wouldn't it be nice if we could be like them, and things could quickly get better and work themselves out? Just once?

UNC and UK both hired guys with college coaching experience. That could be important.

MAYBE but Tbh they just acquired ALOT of talent. Both teams absolutely loaded up.

Happy for him, I think we all always thought he was talented. He’s only playing 2 more min/game this year than last, though he’s started 11/18 games so far.

i guess my point is…what happened here? We could clearly have benefitted from him staying.

I mean: I think I know what happened. But I think it could’ve gone differently.

We cannot have good things it seems. We are still being punished for text messages!

Of note:  He's been shooting REALLY well in the last 8 games:  56 of 90 from the field (62%), 12 of 23 from three (52%), 33 of 34 from the line (97%), 157 points, 19.6 ppg.  And in that span....Missouri is 1-7 with their only win being against Central Arkansas and five of the seven losses were at home.

Statistically, it looks his scoring revival has come from developing a more rounded game -- getting many more shots in the mid range and at the rim. He was the shooter that IU envisioned.  That said, it also looks like he's not bringing anything but shooting -- getting under 2 rebounds and about 1 assist.

Of interest:  Sean East, high school team mate of Romeo Langford, has been an even better shooter for Missouri than Bates and is a better all around player....shooting 52/47/80, averaging 15.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and leads the team in steals.   

Mizzou also has a player shooting 40% from three on 100 attempts.  And yet the Tigers are really, really bad -- 8-10 and a Pom rating worse than any team in the Big Ten, including Penn State.  Amazing that a team with a threesome of Bates, East, and Honor who have combined for 84 of 192 from three (44%) could still only shoot 33% from three as a team.  Seems like everyone has a green light to shoot from three no matter how bad they are.
