Jackson goes 7-15 from 3. Finished really strong, making his last 3 or 4 I believe.
23 point win. 2nd half was so much better.

Good win. Brase and NWB know how to play.
Looking at next year, it’s too bad we lose Jackson. He’s such a weapon on offense.
Young and Lard have a lot of potential in the paint. I hope we give them the time and looks to develop.
Wigginton is already good as a scoring guard right now, but has a ways to go before he’s a pg or even a combo.
I can’t wait until Lewis is experienced. He’s going to play a lot.

Jackson is such an odd player. It seems like he plays terrible for a couple of stretches every game, but he ends up with 25 points. I guess expecting him to shoot 75% from 3 isn't fair. He's just so streaky.
I hope Brase can stay healthy because his size and well rounded game are just enough to have a real inside rotation for the first time in a long time. He can keep us in games with key minutes while Lard and Young continue to improve. Especially when we have the ball with a lead he is like a bit of a safety blanket as a good shooter who makes smart decisions and smart passes.
He should have taken about 5 more 3Ps. If he’s going to shoot a lot, I’d rather him take the open 3 over driving into traffic. Particularly when he’s hitting like in the second half.
Yeah, if the defense is like that out of the gate it's never a close game even with a flat offensive game. Switch was flipped on D very clearly around the 6-7 minute mark.
So this is what it looks like when NWB plays poorly.
Man, we are going to struggle on defense against Big 12 teams.
I guess them a little pass -- they looked tired/worn out.
I would be too after 3 games in 7 days, including a huge rivalry win.

He's an absolute zone buster.
We are 37 RPI and likely only one game left against a low RPI team. If we can get the record anywhere near 20 wins the RPI is going to be a huge help.
I agree, I find myself thinking Jackson is killing us and then he strings together several threes in a row. He can really shoot the 3.
For those "Lard should start" types --
Seems Prohm really likes the combination of Brase and Lard out there. One is heady and a great high-low passer, and the other is all energy, put backs, and swat.
They complement each other extremely well.
Prohm liking them together might, ironically, keep Beverly and Young starting.

I think we’ll steal a game or two we aren’t supposed to when Jackson goes off from 3 along with another player. That along with Hilton is why I laughed off the 10th place media predictions.
Random question but a "low-scoring" game is one with few points or runs, right. So wouldn't a "low" RPI be like 1-50, etc? I'm trying to figure out if "low" means triple-digits or really good teams.

You can probably make an argument for both ways, but think about a “highly rated team” or “highly rated player”.
A top 10 team would be considered highly ranked.
A top 30 recruit would be a highly ranked recruit, not the kid who is ranked #250 or whatever.
FWIW those 2 have the highest rebound percentages on our team by a mile. (Judging by your love of advanced stats you already knew that). Also, thanks for posting the per 40 stats. Woah, Lard.
