Looks like Reinhardt will not start and come off the bench

[4everwarriors]

Not even Don Smolinski, hey?

[GoldenDieners32]

Hopefully KR can play vs Georgia. He's had a few not so good games this year but he's a leader on the team and hopefully he can bring some energy off the bench

[We R Final Four]

Is he though?

[Bocephys]

Is he though?

When he's making shots, he's a leader and good person who saves puppies and adopts underprivileged children.  When he misses a shot, he's the reason everything bad in 2016 happened.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Georgia has a few slow footed bigs. Reinhardt could potentially create some good mismatches on offense. Better that he's available. Hopefully the night off gets him back on track.

[4everwarriors]

Kaopectate's gotta help, ai na?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Also, people do realize that Sam has started over Reinhardt the last three games right? Hauser starting isn't new.

[MU82]

I don't know if Reinhardt is a great person or not. I don't know him personally. But I do think I remember reading somewhere that he has become a leader and is pretty popular on the team.

Unless I'm mistaken ... although it would be a shame to make my first mistake this year with less than a month to go to perfection!

I have believed for some time Hauser will make fans forget Henry.  He is tracking nicely on that path. I like his game a lot.

Who? HE gowne.

Well, Hauser isn't a selfish ball-hog who is only looking out for himself. That alone will get people to pay attention.

Neither was Henry.

I didn't think the teal was needed.

I know that's MUFNY's stance on Henry, so I was trying to have some fun.

Gotcha.  I have heard others say the same thing.

[Lennys Tap]

I can't say Henry was selfish (don't know one way or another) but either a) he was kinda a ball hog or b) Wojo wanted him to jack 3s at will. I sincerely hope the correct answer is (a).

Hank attempted 3.2 3 pointers per game.  That'd be good for 6th most on this team.  Guess Wojo's doing a whole lotta allowing his players to jack up 3s at will.

How many did Hank make?

Stationing your best rebounder 25 feet from the basket to display his NBA skills may have been what Henry and his family wanted/demanded but it hurt the team. Nobody who watched us last year could deny that.

Well sure if you want to keep shifting goal posts you win.

How am I shifting the goalposts? Hank was a very bad 3 point shooter - 28.8%. The worst of any scholarship player on the team who tried one not named Ellenson (his brother Wally was worse at 25%). Yet in spite of being the 7th best of 8 guys who were allowed to shoot 3s he put up the 2nd most of them. So...

What do you call a guy who hurts his team by continually shooting shots a) he's bad at and b) that preclude him from doing what he does best (rebounding)?

Answer: a) a ball hog b) poorly coached or c) both.

Your choice. (There is a correct answer).

So now we're discussing whether or not he makes a high percentage or where he should be on the court? I see. Entirely different than discussing his "shooting 3s at will."

Remind me again how you're not shifting goal posts?

C'mon Wades, your nitpicking at best. When you're shooting the 2nd most 3s on the team you have the green light (shooting them at will). Either the coach encouraged him to do that (stupid) or he took it on himself to do that (ball hog) or both.

How many 3s we take this year is not an issue since the guys shooting them can make em. Talk about moving goalposts. One similarity though - again this year our worst 3 point shooter is hoisting them at the 2nd highest rate on the team. Maybe it's a "Wojo thing", but at least Rhinehardt has a past history of making them.

You are still shifting those goal posts. You used Hank's "shooting 3s at will" to show he was a ball hog, poorly coached, or both. He obviously didn't "shoot 3s at will."

Also you clearly have a great offensive scheme in mind. We have Luke who is obviously going to be on the blocks offensively, we have a team that needs to get to the rim to score because they can't shoot, and you also think Hank should be plotting himself on the block the entire game because you don't think his 10 easy rebounds per game are enough. Genius. Talk about making things easy for the defense...

And yet he lead the BE in rebounding.  It must have only been the rebounds that bounced out 25 feet.

Yup. Only for him to immediately hoist those 3 point attempts at will!

Touché - point TSmith34

But...it's true with hindsight that 1-n-done's are not good for MU ball. HE showed that. He's a good guy with good intentions but they didn't line up with MU success in the long run. If another guy like that shows up that wants to come here....maybe the bluegrass is best for all...
