Could Markus shoot 60% from 3?

[Golden Avalanche]

We need him to get healthy first. Leg and ankle dragging.

Get up by 25 early tonight and start the resting program for Howard during these cupcakes. His health issues are going to burn us in February.

Why even play him tonight?

Chicago St. is very likely to be the worst team we play all year. Rest him and get him ready for the next three games.

If he's hurt and his playing tonight will burn us in February why is he suiting up tonight? I mean, Chicago St...c'mon.

If he can play without further injury, it's no big deal.

I agree, but 'Lanche is saying that's not the case.

Because we only have 3 guards.........

[RJax55]

Because we only have 3 guards.........

Thats enough to get past Chicago St.

[MuMark]

But 2 may be not......

People need to relax.....if he is healthy enough to play he is going to play......I'm sure Wojo will watch his minutes if he is hurting and the score allows it.

[4everwarriors]

Yeah, we need Markus to find his stroke.

Ya reely hada go der, hey?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Ya reely hada go der, hey?

You disagree? Or gonna poke fun at the word stroke?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

36 in a row gets him there!

32 to go!

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

8-10 dont count him out

[CubillanSandwich]

Up to 39%

[Tugg Speedman]

Heard this stat during Maui and have not seen it here ...

Andrew Rowsey is #2 among current college basketball players made threes for a career.  #1 is Jordan Howard, Markus' older brother at Central Arkansas

[Silkk the Shaka]

Up to 39%

41% now

Pretty sure that's an MU record for made 3s in a game (breaking his own that he tied)

LOL at the "I told you sos" 6 games into the season

Still in up 25 with under 4 to go. Wojo must not care about February.

Are you personally offended by my opinion that we should rest Howard any chance we get?

Was just looking back through this thread. Kudos to Howard for cracking 40%, which was where I hoped he would be. Clearly 60% was never all that realistic.

To put into perspective where Markus was on the 40 vs 60 possibilities, had he missed 2 of his makes this year, he would've been under 40%. To crack 60, he would have needed to make an additional 54 of his three point attempts.

Someone may well get to 60%, but I'm pretty sure it won't be Markus Howard, and anything in the 40+% range is something to be celebrated.

[DoggyDaddy]

With Hauser and Hauser on the wings, the window may open for better looks next year beyond the arc. I say his % goes up not down, maybe not 60 but back to +50. Also his assists go up a little.

[tower912]

I think the only one who ever said 60% was possible was his brother the coach.  Just like I don't expect Cain to shoot 57% from 3 next year as he will actually be on the scouting report for the other team.

Haha I told you there was a 0% chance he'd shoot under 40% from 3!

40% on high volume is great regardless, and I think we'll see his numbers go up next year with a more balanced attack.

I do think he can improve that percentage next year. Considering he set a new single game record (and then equalled it) for three point makes in a game and despite the dip in percentage, he is still considered an elite shooter by most anyone.
