He looked a bit rusty, but that's to be expected in his third game environment back in two years. His shot looked a bit flat, but he shot something like 37% from 3 in JUCO so if we can just get 33% out of him that should be sufficient. He offers a ton for us as a dirty work/glue guy type player...
Defending teams with high level guards could be a problem for us this season. Neither Brown nor Pack have impressed there so far, but if one of them is to step up my money would be on Brown. Getting Jones back could help there a bit, but that will be something to watch as we play the better...
I could be in the minority on this, but I don't think this is an issue at all. Was it under Mike Stoops? Absolutely. That Baylor game still gives me nightmares. But this team as presently constructed is allowing just a 32.26% 3rd down conversion rate (good for 14th in the country) and are...
Yep. Not to mention even if he is just an average defender, his length should help contest shots and grab boards. I like the possibilities with him and he seems to give us a lot of upside off the bench

44 in a half to this competition is a major yikes. Need to clamp down during these last 20. Guards need to be much more physical defending on the perimeter. Brown and Pack are going to have to give us at least something on that end of the floor
SF hitting a lot of contested shots right now, hope the law of averages sorts that out in the second half. Would like to see us be a bit more physical/aggressive on D. Only have 2 fouls which is normally good but is also an indication we aren’t being physical enough
