Man this team would be insanely good if we could make open threes. Other teams seem to almost always make the open ones but we get them and can’t. Have to make them.
Is it because… we are not a great shooting team!?

:p

Sh*t, I’m going to get scolded with a “WTF” or a “FFS” here aren’t I!

Oklahoma State is real bad. We played mostly like ass and still dominated them.
Well, they also spent all day trying to get here in an airport or somewhere other than where they wanted to be. I've not performed my best when I have been delayed during travel. They have a tiny excuse to add to the "not very good thing," today.

No you aren’t wrong at all. But the point is when Milan or Curtis Jones get a wide open look we have to make them. That is their strength. Everyone else? Sure.

I’m frustrated by the shooting too; however, we only have 4 3PT attempts tonight. So, for the most part we aren’t settling for it knowing we likely won’t hit them.

Yes to this and we need to fix it. However, I love how the whole, if you leave teams that wide open they are going to make it, rarely seems to apply to us when we get wide open looks.

To me it seems lots of teams have more pure skilled shooters even if their percentages aren't great.

Like the form and release seems better etc.

We're not just up 11 at half. We're up 11 with one of our top guards not out there a ton, with a lot of misses around the rim, and 0 made 3s. We'd be buy gaming Oklahoma State if we did even a little bit of the latter 2 today

I’m just messing around, as yes that’s pretty much the case. But tonight Milan and Jones both had wide open looks with nobody near them and we missed. They are good shooters. Is what it is, but I just always find it funny that we seem to not be able to ever make them while other teams shoot it like 60+ %

OK, what is the nose swipe thing? I think I heard it is some move made by a famous rapper or something. It reminds me of someone checking B.O. or something worse. Or what a high school boy ........ OK never mind.

Solid half on a weird day. Expectation should be to blow them out this half and cruise.

kelvin cato 2.0, but bouncier and with more length.

i especially like that he can have a good play and not lose his mind hyping. lard was a basket case the possession following a dunk or block.

Cato had about 50 lbs of muscle on Ward and played a lot angrier. Ward has the wingspan edge though, you are correct.
