32.9% is pretty much the same points per attempt as shooting 50% from 2. Take that all day and twice on Sundays. Most importantly it is good enough that it has to be respected and clears the lane.
But he's not doing anywhere near that. It's like you're telling us your wife may be a real brown bagger now, but she was pretty hot before you met her.

For what it's worth. In one of the last 2 games, the camera panned over to Momcilovic. You could clearly see that his middle finger (3rd digit or longest finger) was more swollen than the other fingers.

I won't speculate on the injury, but to me it might indicate something close to the 3rd metacarpal?
Doesn't he have a cast over all of his left hand. That's what I thought I saw last.

TJ said in his presser that we have to learn how to run an offense becomes teams are just putting 3 guys in the paint.

Tells me he really is wanting Milan back more than I anticipated - the guard off the bench being the worst 3 point shooter in the history of the sport doesn’t help.

I miss mommy…. Definitely makes things harder and easier for teams to double up on Jones, which has been what’s frustrating him the past few games. Especially with Keshon dribbling into three people at all times and Lipsey having a hurt hand…. We are easy to guard right now

Can you cite where he said this specific thing?

Iirc he talked about running through the entire possession instead of taking it 1 on 3 or 4, forcing things etc.

Yeah, if you don't have good 3pt shooters, there's not much you can do spacing wise. I thought we moved the ball better against Kansas, but couldn't shoot well enough to force them to defend the 3. Teams can guard Curtis and don't really care if anyone else gets an open look. Milan should open things up. Jefferson and Lipsey had been shooting better recently, but were both bad against Kansas. Curtis also had a bad shooting night, but most of his are forced, contested shots.

I thought ISU was really trying to spread things out to get looks around the perimeter but KU was able to largely stick with the guards to not allow much room to operate.

KU's really good at perimeter D but it's even easier when there's not much of a viable threat from a 4/5 away from the hoop.

Dickinson had a couple of clear crisp passes out to Mayo (or someone else) from the elbowish and someone in the game thread asked 'why doesn't ISU do that!?'. Dickinson is overrated for how much press he gets but he can also hit from lots of spots and seems to have good timing for those kinds of looks. Therefore it's easier for KU to get that kind of look.

Something's off with Gilbert too as he doesn't appear to be moving at full stride and his shot looks hurried/pressed as well.
