He actually had a better game after in the chip against Louisville.
Yeah, he only played 4 minutes against us. He still made his mark draining two 3's, but he had 17 in the 1st half against L'ville in the championship in one of the all-time out of nowhere performances. He actually went 9-10 from 3 in that tourney.
after our game, I repressed the pain and stopped following. You're right though, he was hot in that final too.
The two 3's he hit in that one made Perrantes 3's look like layups in comparison. Dude was hitting near from where the half court final four logo was located.
Francis, how would you compare the games of Mali and Battle? Do their skill sets match up?
Oh yes. Battle is a terrific slasher and willing passer. Doesn't shoot it well from deep like Mali, but is more athletic and should be able to get to the line a lot. If both play in the backcourt together as JB has suggested, I think you'll see Mali get plenty of open looks on the perimeter with how well Battle can collapse the defense driving inside. Also worth noting that the two grew up together playing on the same AAU team. So some chemistry has already been built.
Thanks for checking out the pods and for the kind words.
Ok, thanks. Hopefully, Taurean's MOM has been following our success too.
Its beanery thoughts that a big time big man sitting behind Chuckwu would be the final piece of the big puzzle for next season's run to the FF and championship game and that may be correct BUT looking at the pg situation after both Gbinije and Trevor leaves putting a lot of pressure onHoward . Maybe the pressure best down Kaleb when he jumped here after Ennis Maybe there big time spotlight was too much for his psyche.W can hold out hope that another off season soon coming might be enough for him to pull himself together and play up to the expectations of the coaching staff and the real judges of talent us the fans. If that were to happen along with Taurean we will be the odds on favorite to be back in the FF andNC game next March.
Jon Severe now off the board to Iona, according to reports.
6'3 PG, 43% from 3, 2-1 Assist-TO ratio. Would be a solid addition for PG depth. Like I said before we don't necessarily need a star when looking for a 5th year. Just somebody that can provide some quality minutes and not be a complete mess out there.
One available at the moment. KJ unless something changes will open up another one. If Mali leaves, then hopefully that's where Hop has Reinhardt on standby to replace him.
Absolutely ... we're losing 2 outside threats, and bringing in a great athlete whose speciality is slashing and driving. Clearly, the staff's looking around and thinking .. if they face guard Mali, where are our outside points going to come from next year without G/TC.
