Could the trajectory of this season changed if McNeace was not injured?
The last four games before his injury he was averaging 12.2 points and 7.3 rebounds a game. This with a lackluster 5 points and 6 boards game
against Wisconsin, where he was in foul trouble.
Remove that game from the equation and he was averaging 14.3 points and 7.3 boards per game.
How would that look in the middle of the Sooners lineup?
Even if you go conservative and figure 10 and 5, along with his off-ball defensive presence, you are talking about a significant difference maker.
Too bad. It has helped the accentuate the improvement Doo has made, but I think this would have come either way. Doo, Manek and a healthy Muni would make a nice rotation up front.
Given the look of Ole Miss, pre-injury Muni would be a huge advantage for the Sooners, now I just don't think he will be that much of a factor. I hope he is, because I love his attitude and enthusiasm and his game, but the ankle just doesn't look right.
