Yeah, I still give your son full credit for his answer. How old is he?
As I'm fond of saying about new players, since both Reibe and Mullins are still new to college basketball, it's likely that we are looking at the "worst" versions of them. So far, each game gets a little bit better. I'm excited to think about what they both might look like come March.
I hope you’re right. Danny can be pretty hesitant to change the starting lineup. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a Samson Johnson/Reed kind of thing where loyalty to the guy who stayed when he could have left trumping on court performance
My favorite part of the postgame was when the reporter asked Mullins if he was nervous on the free throws and Mullins said no we do the ft game all the time in practice. Follow up question about how he performs in the ft game and Braylon says, some days it doesn't go too well. Hurley and Karaban start laughing and they both say he always makes them. Hurley calls him a humble Indiana boy.
He’s 12…and ironically has pretty much the same hairstyle as Braylon.
Even the cheat sheet is complicated. Lol
Much like the 23-24 team. I think they had like 8 different leading scorers in their first 8 games or something like that. It's what quality depth does. A few guys can off an off night, but a few others might be on and that could be enough with the way Hurley's teams usually play defense.
Thx for posting it. For someone that doesn’t follow it closely, you need to spend time to understand the data. It’s not as simple as ppg,rpg etc. I just look at the colors as a trend. Lol
But we still can't spell our former and current players' names right. 😂
What about 2026-2027?
I agree that is a key to success, avoid getting in the penalty early. Regardless KS had 21 to 8 foul shot attempts curtesy of John Gaffney’s crew. Val may be the worst commissioner in history.
With Reed out defending the rim without fouling is key.
We will never fully understand our health given Hurley’s injury transparency.
Move 5 minutes from Karaban to Reed assuming Reed get healthy and fouls less. Unfortunately teams will test his health giving him even more foul exposure. I think given our roster the length Stewart gives us is underestimated, yet I agree he needs to fill the boxscore more.
The other thing is when you have a shooter of Mullins caliber his teammates need to have awareness of that and built that into their own shot selection when Mullins is on the court.
Smith has risen some at PG, we will be using him more than I thought.
I could give you examples of Hurley building up a player who did not pan out - remember our starting point guard last season - Mahaney.
Against KS, Mullins defense and rebounding were solid.
Hurley had him out for 10 after allowing blow by.in first half. He seams to nave got message.
Mullins is the best player on this team right now.
Personally I'm good with that. We really don't need to know and our opponents absolutely should be kept in the dark.
This actually looks about right. For anyone contesting would like to know what looks wrong and the rationale to why it should be different in making it a better team.
