Pretty sure that was the KU game. I remember Allen missing a shot and not getting back on defense, Fred then calling a timeout and sprinting onto the court to chew out Allen's ***.

It was as mas as I've seen Fred to this day.


Neck and neck with the post game press conference when he slammed both fists on the table.
 
Ejim seems stronger to me but Hogue jumps higher and has same aggressive mean streak needed at times. If hogues shooting can keep coming like ejim's did there will be a ton of comparisons.

I love Hogue but I am not fully invested in him until he flips the double bird in an opposing arena.

I won't believe in him until he repeats all those left handed finishes and makes 1/3 of those ugly jumpers.

I think I'm gonna end up believing in him this year.
 
Just to remind everybody of the shooting we have incoming...

Monte Morris - 40.6% as a true freshman (28/69), really should see this guy shooting it more to space the floor, a true Swiss army knife distributor, breaker, driver, shooter, and outside D guy, hopefully
Naz Long - 40% (64/160 even with a bad slump), our true sniper right now
Dustin Hogue - 34% (22/64, so not that many)
Matt Thomas - 34% (44/131, slightly less accurate than Hogue but with a way higher volume than everybody save Naz, one of the best shooting seasons in volume for a freshman in school history with a hope for the sophomore leap)
George Niang - 33% (48/147, and we all were pretty happy when he was shooting)
+whatever BDJ (32.3%) can pull with some summer Fred tutoring
+Hallie Cooke (45% as a true freshman in the Pac-12) the year after

That's two guys with proven 40% ability, a freshman last year looking to leap as a sophomore who underperformed last year, and a host of 33% to 35% guys who are just generally good scorers. That's a lot.

Morris/(Long/Cooke/Thomas)/Niang/(The Greek/McKay) all shooting in a small-ball lineup the year after next is going to be silly (heard McKay might have a good outside stroke, too).
 
I don't trust Mckay taking any kind of 3 point shot. Some random Cap City games don't mean anything. He looks like he's guiding the ball more than he is shooting it.

Deceiving. Every one of George's misses were against KU at home.

If he can guide the ball into the basket, I'll settle for that kind of 3.
 
Ejim was just so smooth around the basket. And had plays set up for him to hit the "3" as well. While I have alot of confidence in Hogue's role, I agree that he is not equivalent to Mel. But he doesn't have to be either. Hope we see that tenacious will to score like he displayed at the UCONN game, which was commented on that he did so well because UCONN was taking Ejim out of the game, giving Hogue his mismatch.


remember his frosh and soph years? oh boy did he have butter hands....just even more credit to working his *** off for four years and finally getting recognition his senior year (well deserved too)

Yeah. He alone probably lowered royce whites assist average by 1 to 2 a game because he couldn't handle or expect the pass. Not sure who got credited the turnover in that situation.

We made a drinking game out of his dropped passes.
