If all you see when you look at Jop is a guy that feasted against DePaul and struggled against NCST, you got some real selective memory.
Jop was inconsistent last year. Everybody was inconsistent last year. That's just what college ball is. Jop had bad games, but was also the biggest reason we beat UCLA, no Kansas win and no shot at Purdue without his performance against UCLA. He also stepped up huge when we were shorthanded on the road @CU.
Yep.
Also hit the clinching FTs to get us into the Sweet 16, hit two big second-half 3s against Western Kentucky to help us break open a far-too-close game, came up huge against Nova in OT and took over the home game against Seton Hall to turn a close game into a rout. Among others.
It's easy to acknowledge that we need more from him more often this season while also realizing that he has had many, many, many good games for us so far in his MU career.
Looking forward to a solid season from our senior forward.
