Fletcher McGee went 0-12 against Kansas, too. [Reply]

Well, a lot of people picked Duke to make it to the Final Four and still had a chance to win that game, so they aren't the one-trick pony that I'm talking about.... that was a great game.
And it's not about whether it benefits Kansas.
The one-trick pony, live/die by the 3 is the point... it's annoying, IMO. If Auburn can't hit 3s against UNC, they could lose by 25... if they go 15/30, they could win.... then repeat. Like left nut said, that's it. No advanced analytics required.
I know some people like the chaos, but I'd rather see the best teams play each other, and shooting a million 3s doesn't do it for me. [Reply]

I think he needs to grab a JUCO player that is premier 3 point shooter, then they may have something. Only thing, I dont know who they would drop or advise to transfer, to obtain one? Charlie Moore could go, as far as Im concerned. I dont know what Self seen in him to sign him and let him sit out a year? [Reply]

I agree with this. Preferably an upper classman who has some leadership ability too. [Reply]

Charlie Moore can GTFO starting today IMO. What a waste of a roster spot. [Reply]

Sapho had a watch party Saturday and served slow cooked roast and barrel aged whiskey and made the horrible game less so. Like I'm not blaming Sapho that I walked out of his house in a stupor and walked into a metal beam. Just because he started the night like this thread. [Reply]
