he shot the 3 ok in RussiaI don’t know if the Ruskie can shoot but he doesn’t look like a stiff on defense. Moved fairly well and positioning looks OK. We will not likely see him shoot in this game unless it’s off an offensive rebound.
Kirill in the books with the rebound
He's constantly bumping his man. I actually thought their last time out on the inbounds play was a foul call on him.I don’t know if the Ruskie can shoot but he doesn’t look like a stiff on defense.

Agreed!Immediately one of the best moving bigs I've seen in the Moser era. I am not joking.
If this ends up below 30, it’s an embarrassment, and it’ll probably drop us 10 or more spots. But don’t forget, we should just “enjoy the win” and ignore all those silly stat things.Since stats/metrics don't matter to a few on here (just win baby.....rolls eyes), below are some of the losses for Miss. Valley State:
by 51 to UAB
by 48 to Murray State
by 28 to Hawaii
by 36 to A*M
by 59 to Kansas State
by 25 to Tarleton State
by 47 to Florida State
by 35 to West Virginia
And only one of the above teams (A*M) is ahead of us in Kenpom....and they are just 2 spots ahead of us. After the half we played.....let those results above sink in.
And we might win by 15 as a 45 point favorite. Atrocious first half imoAtak may score 30+

Agreed. Very well put. If we go 10-8 or 11-7 in the league and have a few solid wins it would make up did this non conference that I would put as a C- maybe D+I mean I guess if we don't blow out these terrible teams but beat SEC teams I won't care. Honestly for me it's all about conference and on this year. Put up or shutup time for Mr. Moser this Jan-March.
If only we could get the selection committee to do thatIf this ends up below 30, it’s an embarrassment, and it’ll probably drop us 10 or more spots. But don’t forget, we should just “enjoy the win” and ignore all those silly stat things.
He was hitting them regularly in shootaround as well. Didn't look bad.he shot the 3 ok in Russia
I hope you're right, buy our M.O. this season is terrible 3-pt % defense (#257 in the country). Thus, we don't guard perimeter shots very well and even bad teams can occasionally hit open shots. This is a function of intensity, effort, and knowing where you need to be. We now have 12 data points for this....it shouldn't be a surprise, but I was hoping for just marginal improvement. It still sucks.Against the last 3 P4 teams they played, they hit the following from 3:
4-18
3-18
1-9
I guess they weren’t banking in 3’s those games. Now we’ve had a few defensive lapses…but a few of those that went in were fortunate.
I expect us to open it up in the 2nd half and win by 30+.
