you mean taking it for granted by being the most efficient player on the team?

He may be statistically the most efficient, but he could be even more efficient. He makes some silly decisions and over dribbles a lot. Once he stops his fancy dribbling and one on one in the fast breaks he will have the chance to be our best transfer.

I love when people criticize him for this (I personally like it because he is being aggressive) but then don't say a word about other guys on the team doing the same thing (namely Georges and his turnover issues lately).

I think this may be more about McKay than BDJ. Fred probably wants McKay in to keep OU from starting hot like many teams have against us. If he can grab a few extra rebounds and score early on then that would go a long way to slow other teams down on the road.

Seems like we suck in them

Gold uni's is a bad choice

Can we please stop the conspiracy that gold jerseys are unlucky. For the longest time we only wore them against our toughest opponents. I love wearing them down at OU. I always though it was stupid to wear a color very close to your opponents if you don't have to. I like the idea of wearing white at home and gold on the road when our opponent has a shade of red as their primary color. We can wear the cardinals away at TCU, Texas, Baylor, etc. But @ TTU and @ OU should be gold.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we have won at least the last two we've played in the golds since we've stopped only wearing them for KU. There is no superstition in play here. I really want us to win if we are wearing the golds just so we can start to completely destroy this mentality.

It's better to be on ESPN than NEWS, U, or TWO. But of course BU/OSU isn't going to run over, but Duke/FSU will. Despite the fact that Duke game isn't as close as the OSU game.

Yes he's being aggressive, but he's not converting on a lot of the attacks. He dribbles into two defenders most of the time and doesn't pass. If he was aggressive, drew in defenders, and passed I would be a bigger fan of his. That was the difference of past transfers. Go watch Kane and there is a huge difference between their decision making abilities.

Just said it seems like it we do bad in them. I have no idea of the actual numbers. Hopefully we kick OU's *** and I have a different perception of them.

Strong confirmation bias you have.
