How dare you use a statistic/phrasing that literally every basketball fan understands? The least you could have done is provide unnecessary details and specifics that don’t provide any clarification whatsoever. For shame.

So sorry. Next time I will do better.
Going to write true shooting percentage equation on the blackboard 100 times now. Everyone else enjoy the victory against UT that I ruined.
Anybody know what the dust up between Holmes and the TX coach after the game was (as each team was going through the line shaking hands)?
That's juicy. I hope somebody has the details for the rest of us who streamed the telecast and didn't see the ending. I wouldda thought UT would go after Grill.
My first thought too. Holmes is great at getting shots in the lanes with the old school pivot and patience that Jones has mastered.
I've got to listen again, but the part about loving the guys was great! Something like "I love Grill! He's the first person I see in the morning and I love that guy!"
I'm sure that is a terrible paraphrase.

Both Holmes and Osun are so articulate. I fell in love with them the first time I heard them interviewed. Thoughtful, well-spoken, clever, and competitive. These are grown men. Kudos to Coach Schmidt for making the connection for us.
Agree completely. And their personality comes thru too, which doesn't always in these kinds of intereviews where guys tend to be really guarded. Like an asst coach, but without the coachspeak. You can tell they are having fun and HAPPY with where they are. Really easy to root for these guys.

Not gonna lie I get a strong Mungo Jerry vibe. Of course it is the mutton chops. Love it.
I was going to compliment his free throw shooting and how I am least worried when he was on the line tonight, but apparently he's only shooting around 70%....could have fooled me, and he kept hitting them. 83% for the game

This was just such a huge game from him at the exact moment that we needed a huge game from him.
He makes them all in big moments.
Seems like so so most of the others.
Guts. Will to win.

You couldn’t ask for a better game from him. 23 points on really efficient shooting. 5/6 at the line. 7 dimes and only one TO.
I didn’t have audio on for part of the game, but did he go on a 10-0 by himself at one point early in the second?
Love this guy.
Announcers just deep throating Nowell all game. Meanwhile Holmes scores same amount on 6 less field goal attempts and has one TO compared to 4. So typical of ESPN.
