This team can really shoot the crap out of free throws.

Theo is surprisingly fluid in the open court.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

This is big. Getting into the paint and getting to the line does seem to help us even though we're a strong 3P team.

Am i the only one who thinks markus has improved significantly on defense?

Yes! and the numbers bear out that he has been better.  Last year he gave up .912 points-per-possession and has improved that to just .640 PPP in the first 6 games this season.

GGGG

We haven't lost a game in our baby blues yet!!!

I'm very optimistic but of course it is all hypothetical.
Goal is National Championship

Great contributions from a bunch of new faces last night against Charleston Southern. Happy to see Bailey finally break out of his shell.

Defense is still trending the right direction. T-Rank's last 10 metric (so this season) has us at 34th in the country. If we maintain that, that is a leap beyond even the biggest optimist's dreams

Joseph, Brendan, and Ed all look much better than they did in the first couple of games.
Have some patience, FFS.

Louisville will be better than many think. This win might end up looking better than we think down the road.

This post did age well!

I agree that all three look better than they did a couple of weeks ago. Hope they carry over against stiffer competition.

I don't know the stats, but it seems all transfers normally have 5-10 games or so before they figure out how to fit in and contribute on a steadier level.  As chick said, three of those (including BB since he has been out two years) are starting to contribute.  I only caught the second half, but JC seemed to be controlling the game a little and acting like a real point guard.  The threes were real nice to see, as having point guards that can't shoot really hurts an offense.  Overall, I was pretty happy to see how they played (the new guys).

Wait... so we shouldn't write-off any of our players at the beginning of a season? Weird logic

We will win Saturday.
Not just optimistic. We match well with K-state. Home field is becoming home field. New guys getting used to it all. Multiple contributors (KSU only has 6 guys). We will win.

GGGG

The lighting at the fiserv.forum really makes our uniforms look snappy!!!

Yeah! Get that cold air at the Forum to send a chill up their spines!

I'm glad to take all the credit when I'm hot but when things start to regress they were just bad beats  ;D

Markus dropping 40+
Sacar finding success on drives to the lane

Our freshman phenom smothering an all American to the tune of one shot attempt in the first half. Incredible effort
No Finish Line

Silkk the Shaka

It's early, but MU ranked #25 in eFG% defense... after finishing the last 2 years ranked #292 & 241in that stat.

The last 2 times we were ranked in that range were 2012 (S16) and 2008 (Lopez junk ball away from S16)
