What was it then? That's what I want to know and why they veered from the plan. The shot happened so fast that it couldn't have been that the reason was that the original plan wasn't there to execute.
I told you all I had a dream. We will face Duke in the Elite 8.
Woulda been a different game without Reed. Not sure we definitely lose but 50/50 chance.
Mullins is a still a freshman and he has a quick trigger
That works and is good enough to make a believer out of me. 😀
Auburn wasn't big at all and Florida won it all because of guard play and Walter Clayton but keep doing your thing.
I was expecting Mullins to be a 40% 3 pt shooter but so far he's been unimpressive. Too streaky and his shooting % is continuing to get worse like Solo,
I guess I'm wondering what we saw that show a perceived high ceiling. I didn't notice any exceptional traits - I doubt the NBA wants him for his mid range runner.
The goaltend was the craziest. Aside from the fact that you can't review it...it was below the rim. The shot had no chance of going in, so it shouldn't have been a goaltend.
Down at the half.
I mean, Arizona, Michigan, or Houston is a much preferable outcome to, say, Duke or Florida, in my book.
When was the last time shots fell?
A week ago
You can lose games with twenty or thirty quality looks that don't go in, but I understand the sentiment.
What are y talking about. You thought our 3 pt shooting was good in the BE tourney???
Not sure why you’re so worked up. You asked when the last time shots fell. The answer is against Xavier.
I’m not worked up. I just don’t think hoisting 3s when they’re not going in is effective when there are other ways to score. Remind me how many points Bray had and how many 3 he hit. We were missing wide open 3. That’s a formula to lose to a good team.
Your point seems to be that we must shift away from an offense that sets up great looks from 3. Mullins is in a horrible 5/38 slump from 3, but before that he was a near 40% shooter from 3 for about 3/4 of the season. So we know it’s possible. Would you agree with that?
I don't forget about him. He's exactly what you need in today's game, or as close to it. He made up for a lot on the interior, and now he's killing it in Portland. 2024 had a flawless roster.
Did you watch him play last season? The staff saw what many college coaching staffs saw. The reason why he was as a McDAA and 5 star isn’t because he shot 30% from 3 pt and played bad D.
HS recruiting tends to be a fairly imperfect science sometimes. Case in point - DJ Wagner. I'm not saying he's that, but saying it's not always the easiest translation at that level, especially Indiana public school hoops.
