I have been one of the biggest Freeman critics around, but the recent Al hate is starting to get old. he was having a very good shooting season until his recent ugly slump. we will likely need him to win an important game this season.

his attitude has always been a problem. Ashley has told us so. but let's not act like King is definitely the better player at this point, that is still up for debate.

Last two TCU buckets benefiting from a moving screen. TCU bigs playing like offensive tackles out there.

This team is long overdue to drop serious pointage on someone.
not saying it won't happen, but we have the #333 adjusted tempo. that's just not what we do.


Against this sack of derps, I wouldn't rule it out.
#33 KenPom team with 3 "A" wins.

respect the opponents that deserve respect.

I didn't say he was wrong, but declaring King "so much better than Freeman, not even close" is really premature. King has only played well in short bursts, so far.

I have been super high on King, so if he is in the middle of busting out finally, you won't find anyone happier than I am.

It's amazing how much better we can be when we have a guard who is a threat from 3 and is aggressive off the bounce. King keeps gaining confidence it will be huge for everyone.

I think Al and King are pretty even in talent, but King's attitude is way better which gives him the leg up for me.

King also has more potential. Al is who he is at this point. King has potential to be a 15 ppg guy before his career is over.

Williams jumper no good, BU last shot. Manu 3 way short. BU leads 32-17 @ half

great half from King and Motley! one of our best halves of the season for sure.

A little behind but Nuni shot fake and one dribble drive opened up Manu from 3. Like what we are seeing today on both ends.

Motley and Maston have great touch from 10-15 ft out which is a low % shot.

Jaime Dixon essentially played defense that last possession. He's pretty much at the three point line in front of their bench
