This is just the kind of frustratingly low scoring game the pigs have won every time it came up this season so I can't complain, despite going into the half with a high school score (26-17)

I know if it goes the way of the last game we played them in the tournament I might end up having an aneurysm.

Texas vs Purdue. Free throw disparity was 46-12 in favor of Purdue (on the right) but the shot chart makes it clear how that happened. I left feeling like Purdue got the short end of calls by maybe 1 or 2, heh

looks like vibes/feelingsball versus analytics in just one shot chart!

Incidentally, I think Michigan basically won because vibes/feelingsball won out in the midrange - Eli Brooks hit some money midrange shots and I'm not sure the Xavier Simpson hook could be classified as a layup! But Tennessee was money in the midrange too!

Mid-range is very much worthwhile if you have players that can shoot it! In fact, the guys who can do so efficiently off the dribble are typically the best and most dangerous offensive players. That usually means they can already shoot from 3 so you try to run them off the line, and they can score at the rim, so you try to force them to take the mid-range shot. And they can still hit it 45+% of the time? Superstar.

Brockington on ISU has that good mid-range game and his shooting is usually the difference if we win or not. Clones don’t have any great big men, so they have to rely on mid-range and out. They’re horribly inconsistent from three though.

I was laughing during the last Clones game thinking it really seems like they haven't taken a two point shot all half that wasn't in transition or completely undefended inside.

I'm sure that's not actually true but it feels like they only throw the ball inside during half court sets to hope that it frees up someone open beyond the arc.

Mizzou makes Dennis Gates hiring official. I don't like the hire much since his in-game approach seems really similar to Cuonzo Martin aka boring defensive basketball. I'm willing to give him a chance if he shows me he can actually recruit unlike Martin, but I'm not excited about Mizzou basketball or anything :sigh: At least football has some juice

Which brings me to my main question: Have we seen any NIL deals for basketball like we have with football? It seems like hoops would be way better bang for your buck if you're a rich rear end in a top hat looking to bring kids into your alma mater

That happens sometimes because most of the team kind of sucks at driving the ball. Brockington and Hunter are the only ones good at it, and Hunter doesn't even like to do it that much. I think Brockington got away from his mid-range game towards the end of the season, but I'm not sure why.

They definitely need to generate closer shots because ISU is normally not a good 3 point shooting team (266th in 3 point %). They just kind of suck overall on offense and need to generate points off turnovers, they're 23rd in the nation in steals. Clones get like 1/4 of their points off of turnovers.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I heard an interview of Shaheen Holloway and drat that dude rocks, would have ran through a brick wall for him after hearing him talk for ten minutes.

They really became one of my favorite all-time Tech teams. Between the stories behind Arms, Bryson Williams, and Marcos Santos-Silva, and the way they played the game...

I don't think this was a one-time thing. Until Adams retires, this is what you're going to get from us.


I think Obanor, Shannon, and McCullar all probably come back. We probably try to add one more post player that can fill Williams's role, Batcho gets MSS's minutes, and then some combination of Agbo, Nadolny, Isaacs, and KJ Allen take Arms and Warren's minutes. We're already adding 4, but numbers are a mystery these days, so I'm just going to assume that there's room to add another.

e: oof, I post this and TJ Shannon says he's entering the portal but also considering a return to TTU... Dude has NBA athleticism, but doesn't do the things that will keep him in the NBA long.
