Take shots you can make. Take care of ball. Guard.

He is apparently going to continue wearing sportcoats.

I think he went bowling after the NU game. On Skyy Clark's dime.

Good find on this video. Glad they are going back to using sets from this. It gets better movement toward the basket.

8-29 from 3.

We started out 1-11. Not such great looks.
This team can shoot OK off of good looks and stepping into them.
I think they are figuring it out.
Good ball movement tonight and defense is improving.

8-29 will drop our percentage.
12-18 stays the same.
5 guys in double figures.
Title: Re: CORNHOLERS
Post by: Miles Leonard on January 10, 2023, 10:16:54 PM
Outside of a few dry spells where the ball stuck, our movement both with and without the ball was fantastic. Rodgers was the one providing the spark tonight.

We ain't dead yet.

Rodgers is coming along. He can guard a lot of spots and is very tough and active.

If there is such a thing as an OK 8-29 then this was it.
There were only about three or four bad looks or a couple totally off balance or stupid chucks. I can think of one by Hawkins and one by Mayer that were shit.

Some others were contested and not in rhythm.

We used to take about 10-12 really not great or poor or stupid looks from three.

Yep. We've had games with more stupid and more contested and rushed.
Rodgers looked quick on defense and passed the ball quick. He seemed to impact both ends. Harris has had beter games, but the freshman are coming along.

Man if he and Harris can get their offense going, then we're gonna really start to fuck.

But they got that dawg mentality when it comes to defense and hustle. That's how you earn more playing time as a frosh.

Agree on all counts. Mayer took one really bad 3, and I remember a couple from Hawk that were way out of rhythm.

Keep waiting for a break out game from Melendez, but last night was a step in the right direction for him.

Freshmen looked good.

I was wrong. Twice. Or maybe correct originally. Depends on how you interpret it. Our problems are solved based on the fact we shot 83.3% last night in a one game sample size.
