Yep. Texas Tech probably played at the exact same pace as we do. Mooney was a far better player than Nixon or Jackson. Sure he made 21 3’s but he also shot 35% in the conference and 38% overall. Compared to Tre who shot 33% for the year and Nixon who shot 26%.
He was a better rebounder and defender compared to either of those guys.
Mooney wasn’t a savior but he still was the 3rd best player on the 2nd best team in the country......but he wouldn’t have been able to play on our team.....23-12 and 9-9. Okay.
He was a tough as nails guy on a team that already was ahead on the toughness curve.
He made them better with his attitude as well as his game.
