If that's accurate his numbers are incredibly inflated due to the cupcakes.

I think it's the continuations were griping about..not the number of fouls....that's about 4 we haven't gotten.

The way we're shooting free throws it'd be nice to get those.

I appreciate he plays hard and contributes in other ways, but I'm done listening to what a great shooter/scorer he is for just about anything other than the FT line - at least as far as this one season we're going to have him goes.

Those aren't shots in college basketball. You have to be in the act of shooting.

My observation. We have lots of talent. We don't have enough "man" play. We need toughness and grit

I put this in the "Walter" thread earlier this week. Of course this doesn't include his 0-4 so far tonight.

Walter's 3 point shooting in conference play:

Ok St 1-5
BYU 2-5
Cincy 1-6
KSU 3-11
UT 3-7
TCU 2-9
UCF 1-2
ISU 1-6
TT 1-5

For a total of 15-55 which comes to a 27% shooting percentage from 3pt in conference play. He's averaging 39% from 3 on the season which tells you how well he was shooting it before conference play started.

This team will likely lose by about 8-10 today, but I think they will likely be about 8 points better by March. This team has more upside than Kansas. Missi is by far the most talented player on the court.
IowaBear

KU under 30 % from 3. Under 50% overall for the game and up double digits…

Walter getting red hot is our only chance. Let's hope those two start a fire.

Throw in those 2 and 1s and the blown Goal tend call and if Cupcake could make a free throw baylor has a multi possession lead
