Haven't followed Gafford in the NBA, but as a college player, definitely not a guy I'd compare with Theo. Gafford far more agile, fluid, can run and bounce... much more of an offensive guy.. .fairly high usage guy (~mid-20%s vs. John well under 20%)... far, far better rebounding numbers, and turnover rate %'s. They both can block shots and get to the line, but... yeah, don't love the comp.
Did Marquette scrimmage Loyola? It looks like some of this footage is at Loyola.https://twitter.com/MarquetteMBB/status/1452732385427140612?s=20
MU tweeted they practiced there during their team retreat.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Rothstein reported that Loyola beat the blocks off of UW-Madison 71-56 in a "secret scrimmage". Should be interesting to see if they report one for us. Hoping they do! Would be an interesting measuring stick. Don't want to put too much stock into pre-season scrimmages but I have too many LUC friends giving me crap about our basketball program, so a scrimmage win against them would be ideal for me.
Maybe MU will be the new Dunk City.
Yeah but UW didn’t have 3 of their best players. And it was Loyola’s Super Bowl sooooo….
Considering that in the last 3 NCAA tournaments, one program has 6 wins, a Final Four, and a Sweet 16, and the other program has one win period, I'd say it was the Super Bowl for Wisconsin, and they did their best Buffalo Bills impression.
Well, Texas did have the highest share of 2 point shots being dunk attempts last year (17.1% of 2pt shot attempts), and had been in the top 15 the past 4 years:https://barttorvik.com/teampbp.php?year=2021&conlimit=&sort=15So, it's certainly a focus of Shaka's offensive scheme.
Time to resurrect the Dunk-Meter?
I'd have to see if we still have the code around (that was spiral's specialty). For those that weren't here...courtesy the wayback machine...
