Staff needs to pound it into Lance’s head that he’s not a step back/contested shot type of shooter. Take your open shots or drive to the basket
Valley road win. 20 win season. Nice!
@beadmedaddio I honestly think Ebube is capable of playing just as good D as Muila - he hasn't been hacking guys in his limited minutes and he's a big, big body down low
Too slow...needs to work on his footwork.
Lance shot really well in other seasons, but maybe those were the fluke or else something else has changed. Maybe he legit needs glasses?
Creighton & Providence going to double OT
And what are the chances Oklahoma State pulls out a home court win over Kansas? LOL that would be fun to see. 😜

He was 89th in the country in 3 point % his Sophomore season (51-119, 42.9%). Down to 56-210 (26.6%) after this one this season.
@salukiworld isn't that crazy! 5 more makes on nearly 100 more attempts...something more than a cold spell
@salukiworld I would argue it's mostly shot selection. He takes some shots so far out he appears to be behind the concession stands.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!
@beadmedaddio he's missed plenty right behind the arc, but yeah shooting from the breezeway ain't gonna help

Lance has been really weird. His Sophomore year he was really good from 3 but struggled on 2's (42-107, 39.3%). And then last year his 3 point shooting dropped off (61-180, 33.9%) but he was 383rd in the country in 2 point % (95-171, 55.6%). Thought he'd put them both together this year but both have fallen off a cliff.

Didn’t he always do that?
Rupert player of the game.
@stlmodawg A lot larger crowd for Kansas than SIU. Going to chalk that up to fans predicting a loss against us and expecting a win tonight!
Nice win. Not perfect, but good enough. Still need to take better care of the ball. Lance needs to stop killing us with his 1-for-9s from the arc. And we need better interior defense. Krikke dominated us the second half. Really good games from Banks and Rupert. I thought Newton was clutch, too.
