Monté Morris vs Tyrese Haliburton

Two of the best point guards in school history I would say, but what would happen if they traded spots? For the sake of comparison I'm just looking at each individual's sophomore season.

Current Tyrese Averages:
GP MIN FG% 3P% FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS
16 36.4 49.2 38.8 76.7 5.9 7.4 0.6 2.5 1.2 2.7 15.7
AST/TO: 2.74
Team Record: 8-9

2014-2015 Monté Morris Averages:
GP MIN FG% 3P% FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS
34 33.9 50.7 39.5 75.3 3.4 5.2 0.4 1.9 1.3 1.1 11.9
AST/TO: 4.73
Team Record: 25-9, Big 12 Tourney Champs, lost early in the NCAA Tournament

So how do you think things would play out if they traded spots and how would those two teams be affected by having different point guards? I think the most interesting thing would be to see Tyrese on a team where he can win games by just passing the ball. Lots of scorers on that team, he would rack up the assists.

Twister Sister Summary - changeup leads to much needed win

Many have been clamoring for more minute for Jade Thurmon. Today they got their wish as Jade was put into the starting lineup and what a difference she made. The first half was all Joens and Scott as they were practically the only two scoring. Fortunately Nez and Jade added just enough to keep OSU from pulling ahead too far. But the lack of scoring was evident as the sisters only tallied 25 in the first half.

For a change the third quarter was not our enemy. The ladies came out after halftime to dominate the third. Rather than a two headed beast there was more balanced scoring and the ladies turned on the gas over the last few minutes to edge ahead. Of course we know the ladies won, but was impressed me (and distressed me) were the last few minutes.

During the last 1:30 or so the bad part was ISU wouldn’t score. But what was fun was watching the defense. In particular watching Thurmon seeming to be everywhere using her speed to harass whoever had the ball. The team shut the door on OSU and walked away with the one point win.

A few notes...
Wise is making a difference. She may not be scoring a lot, but her minutes provide relief and take the heat off the other guards.

Thurmon was a difference maker. Not a high percentage shooter (but I think that may change with continued playing time) she still put in 10 points and her speed made the team look different.

Free throws...the team continues to make opponents pay when our ladies are allowed to get to the line.

Assists. This was the most disturbing part of the game. Only 6 assists on 23 baskets along with NINETEEN turnovers won’t cut it. And no...Thurmon didn’t have most of them. She only had 3 which is not too shabby.

This win came at a big time for the team. It stemmed the bleeding and had to restore some faith. Seeing Thurmon step up helped and having Wise continue to contribute in a big way sure helps. Up next are two very winnable games against the wheat teams. Both are at home and the ladies need a rowdy home crowd to help with the home cooking. Two wins would also get them on the positive side of the conference record.

YouTube TV

Just switched to YouTube TV now that Vue is officially done tomorrow. Is there a way to organize the guide in alphabetical order instead of grouped by channel type?

Also, does anyone know of a way to get DIY network outside of YouTube TV? I’m going to miss myself some Mike Homes and Maine Cabin Masters.

Home Budgeting

My wife and I have come to the point where we’ve accomplished all of our larger financial goals (mainly having a kid and buying a house) and now it’s time to focus on saving more $. I want to get into the minutia of where our money really goes so…


What app/program/website/ back-of-an-envelope do you fellow Fanatics use to budget your home finances?

Cowpokes vs Cyclones

Game starts in one hour. ESPN+ is your carrier. Vital game for the Clones. OSU has got a dynamic one-two punch with Grey & Mack. Mack is the post that I had hoped ISU would go after when she became available. I sent a message to the staff about her hoping they would go after her. She is proving to be the real deal. Just wish she was playing for the other team today.

Ballad of Buster Scruggs

The Coen brothers have been my favorite for a long time. No Country for Old Men, Fargo, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Big Lebowski, True Grit, Burn After Reading, Raising Arizona, the list just never stops.

Was curious what everyone thought of this new movie? I really enjoyed it and true to the brothers style it's unique.

A noir esque western with shades of tall tales and Grimm's fairy tales. Reminded me of Four Rooms being that it is 6 short stories. True to their style it's funny, surprising, emotional and at times visceral. I loved it. Was hoping for something like Oh Brother and though it's not the same it's right up there.

Haliburton NBA

I love Tyrese and absolutely think he should go if his stock remains so high...

But what on earth are these scouts watching? There are ZERO NBA- ready guys on this roster. If Tyrese is only as good as the sum of the teams parts, that's fine, he'll be solid on an NBA team... but is that seriously what NBA teams are looking for in picks 1-13?

He isn't good enough to be a game changer, clearly enough, and I'd think that's what teams with lottery picks are looking for
