We know he's had the groin issue, but if he's this bad then don't play him.

We are going to have to find some outside shooting at some point this season. Otherwise people will just pack the paint (like fgcu is doing now).

Maybe someone has mentioned this, didn't want to read the full thread, but does it seem to anyone else like Freeman is shot-hunting way too much tonight?

If can't watch, why does Manu only have 3 shots, he's our best offensive player. Needs to be more assertive and selfish?

Attacking the rim almost always pays off

I was worried this could be a trap game after Oregon and right before we are heading to the Bahamas but FGCU is a solid team.

Assuming we pull this out this is good for our team to be in a close game late, but not fun for the fans.

He's had some opportunities it other guys have been open. We haven't missed a ton of tough shots. We have missed a lot of open looks. The shooting from the floor has been rough. We have attacked the rim really well though.

They've honestly done a good job taking away open looks from him. He's doing alright not trying to force up shots

Sloppy half this has been. Everyone (except Mitchell) seems a step slower.

I hate that ref from the past. It looked like Lecomte threw it off the FGCU foot but the ref thought it hit Manu's. Shady

Thought this early too. He's our best scorer, if our team is struggling let him isolate and get his own shot or create for someone else. Our best player should have more opportunities.

That same ref calls a foul on Freeman on the 3 right in front of the KU/FGCU coach.

Freeman didn't touch him, he put his hand in his face. Can't stand that ref. Such a KU homer.
