Agreed. This has been a rough couple of weeks. Season really could not have gone much worse up to this point with us losing almost every close game. I have not read or paid attention to anything since Saturday or much since the loss at Carolina. Has any timeline been announced on Wiley? A lot of people questioned how important he was back in December and I think we found out the last couple of weeks. We definitely would have beaten UK and USCe with him and our chances would have been better against MSU as well.
Oh God I’m already experiencing cold sweats thinking about getting bullied by those rotten thugs from the AL Prison League w/o Austin.
Agreed. UK and USCe were two of the worst teams we could have faced without him. Sick to think that UK is now solidly in the top 10 while we are on a 3 game losing streak. With Austin healthy, we certainly beat UK and USCe and the momentum from those 2 Ws (in addition to having Austin) would have completely changed the dynamic for the MSU game. We could easily be sitting at 6th or 7th in the polls right now.
If only he got to the line 4x more than he does per game.
Indeed. A second guy attacking the rim and dishing would help a lot. Chuma is capable of doing it. So is Danjel if he continues to make progress. Danjel is also a 90% FT shooter.
FWIW, everyone should do this from time to time. I've been gypsy traveling for a few weeks now, sleeping out in the woods a few nights a week. It (and the fungi) are good for the soul.
From my novice eye, Chuma is in a big time sophomore slump. Big head? External pressures? Whatever it is, he seems like he's at 60% of where he can be this year.
He just needs to up his swag and intensity levels. Chanel his inner Malik. No reason he shouldn’t be avg 15/8 he’s at 10/5.
I'm pretty sure 100% of CHUMA's fouls are for petty garbage reaching behind someone trying for the steal after he lets them by him. BRUCE forgive me.
they are generally soft, lazy fouls where he's trying to make a play from behind or thinks he can sneak in on something that he absolutely cannot. I'd love to see those fouls be charging fouls or him hacking someone who is going up for a dunk. If that kid can find a mean streak he's going to make millions playing this game
We appreciate your thoughts and prayers during our walk through the valley of the shadow of death that is this losing streak.
Danjel is just such a mess but he brings a few things that I guess could work if he got some run. He’s a good shooter. Rebounder. Seems relatively quick in a straight line.
