Haluska is now shooting 21% from beyond the arc! That sounds amazing considering the 0-26 start huh?

what's his percentage since he broke the seal in the KSU game?

cymonat · 02-17-2008, 12:03 PM

8-13 for 62%

How 'bout that!

I think he's 8-13 since then. That's 61.5%. If he shoots 20 more this season and makes 10, he would finish at 18-59, or 30.5%. Pure speculation, but that would be respectable considering the circumstances!

Wes has been completely healthy for what, three games? And he went on a tear when he was? The "experiment" is incomplete, at the very least.

Amazing how much he looks like his brother in his shooting action. And I understand there is a third Haluska who is a HS soph.

If you see Craig on campus, tell him to keep his head up. He's pretty down right now. He needs a boost of confidence!

Right on, I've been thinking the same thing. If I see him, maybe I'll remind him of his last trip to the state of Texas.

Not that I'm a stalker, but right now on his facebook page his status is he wants to be back at the coast and I give up. That doesn't sound good.

Has anyone left any encouragement on his wall yet?

I have, and I think everyone that has him as a friend should. We need Craig!

Heck yes. He's got a bright future at Iowa State!

cymonat · 02-17-2008, 12:20 PM

I don't have him, and I don't feel like bothering him right now by adding him. Maybe I'll just write something in the group "Craig Brackins = the missing piece to the Iowa State puzzle son!"

Please don't remind him of that game against Baylor. Ever since that game, Brackins has launched numerous ill-advised 3-point attempts. Brackins is a big man, and McDermott should be giving him the big man attention that he gave Hubalek last year. He should be banging it inside. I hate seeing our big guys shooting threes. It is nice when they go in, but it just encourages them to shoot it from out there even more. Our bigs should be playing inside fighting for position and rebounds. Brackins has the talent to be the star of our team, but needs some muscle building off season, and a little discipline to play where PF should be plaing.

While I agree that big men shooting 3's isn't my favorite thing in the world, I think we can all agree that he could use a little confidence booster man!
