If Jo could go right back strong with a dunk on pit backs he would average at least 4.more a game.

He needs to spend the summer with the s&c coach

Snyder sitting there in the stands, thinking to himself how he'd hold the ball until 2-3 seconds on the clock every possession if he were coaching instead of Weber ...

Not sure I've ever seen Freeman hit two shots in a row in his entire Baylor career. Surely I'm wrong. Just don't remember him ever getting on a streak of some kind.

Are we 100% certain Manu is okay to go for next week or is there a chance the injury is worse than expected?

He's playing tonight. What are you talking about?

Sorry. Just rolled in and turned on the television three minutes in and saw he was not on the floor. I assumed no start = no Manu.

No worries. He came off the bench and looked lively. Too much dribbling, as usual, though.
