GC played 13 minutes with 4 fouls and made 1 basket (1 for 1). Not sure I would call that battling.

But he had a number of good plays within that time; saving balls from going out of bounds, blocking a shot while keeping it in bounds for us, playing with tons of hustle, etc. I thought he had a really good game, limited minutes and all.
He maximized his impact in the game. He's not going to be a guy that's going to give us 12/8. He was disruptive on defense and did a lot of little things. That's the player he is and can be.
Yes, you’ve figured it out. Fans are down on Prohm because we can’t win in Waco. It’s not our 2-18 record or 0 fer in Big 12 play.
Yeah, and have to wonder how a healthy Foster and Hinson might have helped.
Foster alone could of gotten us another win or two. His high pick and pop ability would of helped a ton and opened up the lane a bit more for Bolton. We are too easy to guard in that high ball screen action we run all the time since Solo and GC don’t shoot out side of 15 ft.
Then what's the point of posting his overall record in Waco? Just conversation?
Theres a reason he doesnt do that much.....hes terrible at it lol but I like his defense
Good point. He’s now 40-64 overall in the Big 12 and 18-50 with his own players. He doesn’t win consistently anywhere...including Hilton Coliseum.
This was the possession at the end of the shot clock when Rasir dumped it off to an open Tre, but he passes up the 3 and puts up an awful floater. I don't want Tre shooting a whole lot, but the open 3 was by far the best option in that situation.
Exactly. Stick to something that proves your point. Not some nonsense that makes him look like......every other coach.
I realized last night when watching that we are a poor man's 2018-2019 team. No real identity, no real preparation, just reliant on individual efforts in hopes we win. Unfortunately, however, this year we don't have individuals that can carry us the way the 2018-2019 team did.
JCL is basically in the Shayok role. We rely on him to make tough shots every game. Rarely sees an open shot, and if he's not making the tough ones we are in big trouble.
Harris is basically Lindell. Has moments where he looks explosive and can be dangerous, and moments where he can play out of control. Never quite sure what you are going to get on a given night.
Johnson is THT. Has moments where he makes some great plays and is even capable of taking over a game at times. But also has games where he completely doesn't show up.
Solo is Jacobson. Playing out of possession. Good effort, but limited physically.
Basically you have a similar roster makeup, but with less talented players.

His pull up from 5 feet beyond the ark in transition begs to differ.
And you left out the 20-30 point blowouts to unranked teams. Yes, we have been close in some games but haven't won a single one of them. But we've also lost by huge spreads in record fashion. You can't buy a coin and not own both sides of it.
2nd half he played well, first half, he was lost. I thought it was notable though, that we really haven't seen him recover like this and finish the game well. Typically, once he gets off the rails, he totally tanks. I was happy to see him recover and play well. It did probably help him that as the game went on when Drew took out his only big any time George was on the floor. Baylor gave him absolutely no respect.
I think in a normal year, with everyone health, this is maybe a 5 win team in the Big 12.
First half he was lost. lol. He had 2 offensive fouls in under 3 minutes, he wasn't lost. He wasn't on the floor in the first half.

Yeah, none of that really fits.
JCL has open corner threes all the time, and he's deadly there.
The Harris one, no.
Johnson isn't even the poorest man's THT.
Solo and effort go together sometimes, but rarely for long stretches.
It was clever, but none of those work.
