If he can keep that shot going and that jumper from the elbow he will be dangerous on offense all year... Has to keep from getting lazy on D

Love how we have solid mid-range shooters like Maston. Any time he gets the ball in that range ...

If Mitchell had Lindsey's IQ and feel for the game he'd be a terror for opposing defenses.

Geez. Zeke cleared to play basketball again ....

IDK if docs cleared that or not -- not real sure that's such a good idea.

Will be interesting to see what Zeke does. All the best for him, of course.

D-League or he takes a deal overseas. depends if he wants money or a tiny shot at the NBA

I just can't see a 1-eyed player in the NBA, skilled 7 footer or not.

Bears were sleepwalking but 3 balls from Jake and Ish will make this one a huge blowout again.

Davis is fouled, team lets out a collective holler as they realize he gets a chance to score

FT no good, team not a fan... 2nd good! 1st career point for Davis

Davis draws a charge! lol

Hmmm. Proximity to U.S. doctors/fam/friends vs. Euro money? Tough one. I could see Zeke doing the Euro adventure thing for a few years -- but I'd make darned sure he has ready access to the proper medical people.

Yah, can't see NBA either. Tough enough for many skilled players w/ full health to make that league.

Again, all the best for him.

this team needed a game where we made 13 3's very badly.

on a night where we could have let a solid but inferior team hang around, we salt it away early and never let up on the gas... very nice to see! love this team.

they aren't there yet, but we haven't hit our stride.

2010 squad ended up #8 on kenpom (and was playing better than that), and was a bad call away from likely making the Final Four, and possibly being small favorites to win it. can't forget how talented and balanced that group was... Lace and Tweety, with Walton off the bench (where he flourished). Acy and Ant Jones on the wings, Lomers down low, and Udoh all over the place on both ends. was a really good group of 7.

but, no, you are not. this team might be better! more quality depth, and even more balance. but that team had some really good ball players on it...
Marlin

Yes that 2010 team was special. I was at that Duke game at Reliant. Still hurting from that one.

Is Nuni going to be our backup 3? Will he play some 4 too?


I talked around pregame and I was told that he could be playing the 2, 3 or 4
