1000 points in his total career, not at UAB.

I thought he hit that the other night? (total career)

I would guess less than 100 at WKU...

50 someodd points at WKU

He had 50 points at WKU (none odd)

He is at 948 at UAB. It's not out of the picture that he has 1000 at UAB, but he,a going to have to crank it up, and we will need a deeper run in March

I've never really counted points scored at other schools, and the UAB record book doesn't either. It is a personal achievement for Swing, but to make the record book, he needs 52 more points.

I'll still cheer the personal achievement.

Same here.

Pretty neat that he was able to get 1,000 on the designed Swing lob play.

Swing has been sucking this year.

He hasn't scored a lot of points, but his D has been good, and we are better when he's on the floor.

His first several games this year were good.

Crane just introduced him as the newest member of the UAB 1000 point club. Can someone inform our radio play be play guy that this is incorrect.

Swing has not sucked. He's inherited a new roll very well. We have a lot of talent on this team. Believe it or not, Swing and Rucker are no longer needed double digit scorers.

At least one of them need to be.

We struggle when it is only Washington and Frazier stepping it up. We play well when one additional player steps up.

I don't agree with this at all. We really needed Swing to be a 3 point specialist and alternate distributor this season. He has done a fine job of the alternate distributor part, and his defense has been much improved, but his shooting has been abysmal.

I really think going into the season coach would have wanted Swing and Rucker to take 6-8 shots a game, with both shooting 45% from the field. I also think he would have expected Swing to shoot near 40% from three. Rucker shooting almost as many shots as CJ this year, while shooting over .100% less from the floor(while not being nearly the 3 point threat CJ is) has been a major issue this year. Our seniors play with a lot of intensity and heart, but the game is ultimately about getting the ball in the bucket, and outside of Faz, none have done it consistently.

Nope, Swing hasn't played his roll very well throughout the whole season.

You are correct, sir.
