Is Nic's fro affecting 3-pointers?

Postby Bergermeister » Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:07 pm

As his hair has inflated, his 3-point production has deflated. I'd like to see it at 7-8 three-pointers length (whatever that is) for Thursday. :)

If I had to guess I'd say fatigue.

I do not remember him leaving the court in the last 2 games. That is too much.

Everybody's legs seemed a bit dead both Saturday and Sunday…the first ten minutes of Tulsa/UCONN was an absolute brickfest and the UCONN guys looked gassed.

I was about to ask Stallionwhoever if we closed out the three ok against UCONN but I really do think it was tired legs that did it.

I don't like seeing Nic go 40. Considering how everyone, even Ben E is stepping up there should be no reason for it. With a 16 point lead you can sit him a few minutes either side of a TV time out…no?

Nic has played heavy minutes lately. I'm sure they get today off and practice tomorrow and Wednesday. Hopefully Nic can get some rest and maybe decide what classes he'll take at SMU next fall. 8)

Perhaps fatigue. And Nic's had a lot of attention from defenders. Just like Boatwright had a lot of attention in our last game. It helps the rest of the team but makes that player look like they're having a down period, offensive production wise.

I think tired legs are part of it yes (hope LB lets them rest today at least - film study and just maybe a walk through followed by maybe a tough practice tomorrow then relax on Wednesday).

But the fro weighs him down. Cut it back just a little. Plus the Hartford rims suck. He'll shoot better in Louisville.
