I have watched the replay 3 or so times, and one thing that really impressed me was Ebube outrunning the defenders on his fast break dunk. Wait until he transfers about 15 lbs from his gut to his upper body.

Is it too late to swap UW Milwaukee for Murray St?

I'm good with that.  Milwaukee wouldn't be dragging down the NET quite as much as Murray.  It's great that we unloaded Loyola, though.  Chicago State is about to pass them in the NET.  Yes, Chicago State. 🤣 🤣   

 

BS! Milwaukee has a history of sucking, and that will continue with a few anomalies.

The league made the right choices.

Murray, love them or hate them, will be a force in this league. They have some talent and Prohm knows what he's doing, even if he is a jerk, as he proved last time at SIU.

 

Prohm went 0-18 his last year at Iowa State. Murray is not in the OVC anymore.

I thought the same thing. He looks slow as molasses cuz he has such a long stride, but he got there with some to spare.  I think we are on the brink of something amazing with this guy. He is getting more minutes so that has to translate into getting his game back. Imagine what we would have if the accident hadn't have happened.

Think that just may be his build... Not sure we want him to lose all that.

I feel confident he would be playing the most big minutes... Missing the entire middle part of the season is hard to overcome.

Lance Jones is one of the best players in the league!

Unquestionably! If he could just show a little better judgement on taking threes, he'd be even better. Love his motor, love his acrobatic drives to the basket, love his D, love his attitude. Great kid!

 

The way I look at it, the high volume/low percentage 3's is just something you have to live with for all the positives he gives you on both ends. It would be great if he would cut down some of those attempts as many of them are from extremely deep, early in the shot clock, outside the flow of the offense and/or puts us in a bad spot for offensive rebounds, but its a fine line; Lance is at his best when he's aggressive.

Best case scenario for SIU is that he starts making them at a higher clip, and some of that would come with better shot selection within the offense, time/score/flow etc.

Totally agree, this team can only win the league and the MVCT if Lance is being Lance at a high level.  Lance who takes 4 shots a game and only makes simple and easy plays to limit turn overs won't get it done.  Sometimes, Lance is gonna Lance, gotta live with it.
