*** Official UCF vs #9 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

I'm rooting harder for Batemon than anyone else on the team.
Me thinks/hopes he'll be the end of season gamechanger.
He has some freaky 3 point shooting in his hs days.
No reason that can't be replicated at this level, given a dose of playing time confidence.
Yet again, yet another great young man

I usually check in at halftime, give my thoughts, and then come back after a win. After a loss, I'd sooner touch a turd laying on the sidewalk.

If they have dried out plenty 'cow pies' are not bad. They make nice frisbies! Course I was much younger then.

And went and looked up JJ Redick and Adam Morrison’s stats, since they were prolific scorers in their senior years.

Redick averaged about 9 attempts per game and shot 42%.

Morrison was only about 5 per game.

It’s wild what Milan is doing.

Those examples triggered me to check Jimmer Fredette.

9.5 3-pt attempts per game, but "only" 39%, his senior season. But, his 2pt was about 50%, with 12 attempts per game.

Side note regarding Fredette's # of attempts from Chuck Klosterman's "50 Greatest College Basketball Players of All Time" (published in 2011):

"As a senior, Jimmer took 765 shots. That’s about 235 fewer than he should have."

I talk to my kids all the time about emulating him on and off the court. Truly impressive guy.
