I haven't seen the stats broken down year by year, but he seems to be a different player at the end of January through the end of the year than he is before.

I remember one year we called it a "loss of confidence", but every year it seems it's this way. If today is an indication of what's to come, this could get really fun.

If we continue to hit the 3, while going down low, then we are a very dangerous team.

You know, I haven't thought of it like this before, but you may be on to something. It does seem that in previous years his shooting percentage has improved as the season has progressed. It would be interesting to see what the actual numbers show.

If yesterday was his breakthrough game, we are in for one fun ride. Watching Chris last year in CUSA tourney was a blast.

Practice and experience always lead to bigger and better results. Count on this continuing.

It WILL be a fun year.

The whole team seems to be shooting a bit better of late.

Yes...Shooting seems to be improving greatly.

Unless it's from the free throw line.

Sure was fun seeing everyone hitting threes yesterday

If we continue to hit three when we need them (not live off them for most of our offense) and we score in the paint at a decent rate. Then we could see a long run. If the outside shot drops it will open up the inside and allow Shaq and Nichols to make moves. Our FT shooting is still a concern. Cost us a national title not too long ago.

At the end of the year, everyone will have hit their average give or take a few points.

DJ's putback at the 2:15 mark was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more of a basket interference call than Shaq's saturdya. ugh

I want to see it against the better defensive teams and bigger games. I am sure all fo them have been relaxed in the last 3 becasue they way outmatched their opponents. We need them when they are more rushed and better defended, we all knew they would make them against LO or USF, they don't play any defense

I told my friend, "Maybe chris should just back up behind the arc and shoot the freethrows from THERE"

The ref that called it had a bad angle. Notice how they called more hand checks in the second half? We asked the blonde haired ref if they got reamed at halftime by the boss and he just chuckled.

"When in doubt, don't"

Dang, that clip only reminded me how much talent was on that team.

You got that right.

Hopefully, this year's schedule might help us overcome those tight booties.

We shot poorly against OSU the first game and Cincy...Every other decent team we have shot decent from the 3.

OSU #2, Fla, LSU, UConn and Louisville we shot over 30% in all of those games.
