the general has spoken: @CodyWorsham Will Wade: "To give ourselves an opportunity, we're going to have to value the ball, we're going to have to have great transition defense, and we're going to have to rebound. If we don't do those three things, no shot." 1:50 PM · Dec 28, 2021·Twitter Web App

coach says gaines can shoot, as evidenced by his excellent free throw %. says he was having trouble with feet alignment for 3's and they are fixing it. man, if gaines could sink some triples it would be massive.
coach also says that shareef has been practicing and pretending to be jabari smith on the scout squad. seems like he is doing well and getting closer.
good news faggots, i put the numbers in my prognosticating devices, and we can expect to win, 69 61, powered by an unexpected number of made 3 pointers, and of course made baskets lead to the press and turnovers and more made baskets. eason will have some superior dunks and on national TV (ESPN2) it will be the start of his "will he leave for the NBA this year?" conversation.
i dunno the answer to that, but i know they do not have an explosive offense. they are like a mirror image of LSU where the offense is slightly better and defense somewhat worse and the level of athletes similar. they lost in double OT to uconn, who is ok, but not awesome. they have played slightly better opponents. the smart computer rankings have the teams ranked very similar. kenpom has lsu at 9 and AU at 13. sagarin has LSU and AU at 8 and 13. its generally accepted than being the home team is worth 3 points. that means it should be very close. we have a common opponent, UL monroe. they beat em 93 to 65. we nuked them and destroyed their souls 101-39. in addition to jabari, who is amazing, they have a 7 foot guy named walker kessler, who is a 5 star that went to UNC but wasnt playing much as a freshman and left. he was one of the most sought after transfers. big white shot blocker. his sister played beach volleyball for LSU.
