Factoids I Bet You Didn't Know

Post by Stallion »

Sterling Brown had a better 3 point shooting percentage last year than Keith Frazier does this year

.362 to .333

Next one up. No excuses. Hang a Banner

Thank you.

Can we all please just move away from the doom and gloom? Please? There are so many awesome things going on, let's just keep focusing on those and do this thing. MK is eligible, JMart left because he wanted to - not SMU's "fault". Keith's loss is disappointing, but let's not jump off the bridge. Please.

Thanks for pointing out. Secret ingredient Sterling has yet to incorporate into his game.

Though the team has another towel waver if you saw Markus frantically waving one on the bench a couple games back...

Brown needs a headband... That way, when he comes to the bench he can take it off and twirl it around his finger.

Keith also took more than double the amount of 3's (2.2x) and 7x more this year.

Not trying to be doom and gloom, just saying there's facts behind every number.

Can we all grow a pair and recognize that modern college basketball is more corrupt than early 80s SWC football and you have to expect some of this when competing in the big leagues. I agree with Stallion, next man up -that said, an injury at this point could devastate this team.

I dont think the doom and gloom surrounds how this team will play going forward, thank god we have Markus and Nic.

The problem is the long term ramifications here. Keith is gone, Maligi is gone. Dallas is probably toast for us at this point, which is still "ok" as long as we don't receive any sanctions or penalties from the NCAA that affect postseason play, schollies etc...

Just shutthefuckup and go to the game this weekend and make it loud. Show those football recruits here for the big weekend what they can expect, and show the team that you are behind them.

And finally, get loud and boisterous and show the school you care about the program and that you expect them to fight for it. Whatever happens, the real fact is this program needs to continue to improve. So get there early, stand all game, and be loud as hell.

Now if someone can come up with a chant about the NCAA's rescinding the Death Penalty and awarding us the '82 consensus national championship...that would be nice. Heck, if we could get them to remove that one Keith van Horn shot from the conference playoffs that one year too.

I wouldn't give up on this team at all. WE are very athletic and deep off the bench. Losing any starter hurts but this isn't Doh's Ponies. LB has dveloped a program with great athletes and depth.

ANd this tea, dispite significant turnover issues, is still a very well coached team. Coaching makes a huge differnece at this level.
