I think it makes it less concerning. I’d be much more concerned if we were having trouble creating looks or taking bad shots.

Yeah we basically made every FT we needed to make, starting with Amida’s legendary and-1. Hence Calipari’s comment. I’ve never seen anything like it, before or since. IIRC the 2011 team wasn’t a good FT shooting team and all season people predicted it would be their downfall, but it didn’t end...

In 2014 we shot 200% in the tournament. At least it felt like that. (It was 88%, and we shot 78% for the season.)

Funny to win because we got to the line more Better to win a trap game than lose it.

As usual, great in-depth scouting report. Here's mine:

Imagine paying DePaul players to play poorly. What an unnecessary waste of money.

The only laundry that matters is @Chief00's briefs

Why would she want her son to stay local, where she can catch all his games playing for the best program in the country?

RIP. What a life. For those who never read it, there’s a great story about Weir meeting his biological father in 1996: https://www.waitingfortoday.com/2198-2/

Yep. And not just benches. Lot of chatter about Celtics trading for Zubac, who’s a traditional center. Good D, rebounding, and post game. Doesn’t really stretch the D.

Chief really concentrates on filling his briefs with material. Sometimes he has to sit there a long time before he's gotten everything into his briefs.

Seriously? You have never seen anyone here say that, seriously or in jest??? He was joking because it’s been a thing since before he won his first title. At first it was a real knock, then it was a joke because we destroyed everyone, and know it’s an even bigger joke because this season we’ve...

My fault, not yours. I read HW611's response to you first.

After a slow start, he's now shooting 34.4% from 3. Since December began, he's made 17 out of 35 (48.6%). So I'd say he does have the outside shot already. He needs to continue to hit it consistently, but he's really been knocking them down of late.

I assumed the ultimate % was derived by multiplying the team's % likelihood of a win in the next game vs the % for the next game, and so on. So if you have a 80% chance to win each of the next 3 games, your chance of "running that table" and winning all 3 is 51.2%.
