Bubu Palo appreciation thread

[isustrong]

I loved that small lineup they put in during the second half. Anything to keep Gibson off the court.

You would think Gibson might work on his free throws.

[jj-cyclones]

It would be nice if Gibson worked on ANYTHING other than his left handed hook shot...

Without Bubu Baylor wins this game............THATS THE BOTTOM LINE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Korie just had a bad game and Bubu came in and helped put us over the top.........2-Winnersville !!

Go Cyclones "Beat The Okie's...

Part of Bubu's contribution might not even show up until Monday night. He kept minutes down for KL and CB. I've been very happy with what he has been able to contribute with little game speed tune-up this season.

Gibson has been playing better on d and rebounding much better. He will be a big part of the teams success this year and in the future. I've been guilty of it in the past but I cannot understand ruining a good thread about being happy for bubu w/ this bs.

[acgclone]

Enough with the Gibson bashing. He's in a bit of a SO slump but he's still a valuable player for us and can still improve.

Also, I don't think KL had a bad game. He and Bubu were complimentary with each other

I was thinking throughout the game, wow Bubu is playing out of his mind. He had a stretch with a couple steals and went end to end witht he ball, got a couple hustle plays. He makes smart plays and really handles the offensive. Nice job Bubu good to see you in the flow.

"Solid" is the best word to describe Bubu Palo IMO. And he was "solid" last year too.

I never understood the Bubu haters on here that didn't even think it was a big deal at all that Bubu was able to come back this year. I knew he would never start over KL, but I KNEW he was going to provide very solid minutes for us that we needed.

I think we will see Bubu on the court a LOT in close games at the end where we have a small lead. His defense is very valuable, and he's easily the guy I want the most on the FT line too.

Don't even get me started on that.
He doesn't bend his knees at all and stays flat footed, and puts no arch on the ball. RW was a better FT shooter than Gibson.

[cysox2]

He got beat once by Jackson in the 2nd half, and that is ok because Jackson is one of the best. Good game overall by BuBu.

I know how painful that was for you to post that. I'm glad you're coming around.

by what measure? Gibson is right at 57% from the line for his career. Royce was below 50.

By the fact that in Gibson's last 3 or so games he is like 0-10.

Edit: he's 2-8 in Big 12 play this season.

Gibson has HORRIBLE FT shooting form. I would think Fred would work a lot on fixing that, but a coach can only make suggestions, the player has to implement them.

But please let's not get off topic here.... this thread is about how good Bubu has been for us since coming back.

Ummmm. No he isn't. I specifically remember him making FTs in the last couple games.
