    Stats are nice but I'm going to have to buy a new couch and up the HBP meds if these heartattackkids keep this up.

    Oh, no. My Cleveland boy Johnny Fanta is the Real. His uncle was our Assistant Pastor for a while and his family is great.
    It was a Dickie Simpkins (and others) shot.

    Freemantle in the non-conference vs in conference
    18.7 PPG vs. 11.6 PPG
    8.0 RPG vs. 7.8 RPG
    2.3 TOVPG 2.2 TOVPG
    62.6 FG% vs 37.0 FG%
    69.7 2FG% vs. 40.5 2FG%
    44.0 3FG% vs. 25.0 3FG%

    Scruggs in the non-conference vs in conference
    14.6 PPG vs 12.8 PPG
    4.1 RPG vs 2.8 RPG
    7.1 APG vs 5.0 APG
    2.1 TOVPG vs 2.8 TOVPG
    47.9 FG% 45.1 FG%
    60.5 2FG% vs 43.8 2FG%
    30.0 3FG% vs 47.4 3FG%
    Also of note, while the schedule hasnt been super hard yet, we also have only played one of the bottom 4 teams. So we have 7 games left against the bottom 4. IF somehow we can manage to stay locked in against those 4 and sweep them than we would be guaranteed at least 10-10 record in BE. I know it isnt easy to sweep even the bottom teams but we probably really need to make sure we go at least 6-2 minimum against those 4 teams.

    Agree with beating bottom 4 with at least 6-2 record. Playing against the top 4(VU, CU,SH, UConn) needs at least 2 wins for resume,
    At Marquette and At Providence will be a dog fight. Hope X splits those 2.
    Looking like 11-9 or 10-10 BE record. Hope X wins out.

    Something that Joe and Byron talked about last night on the Travis Steele show:
    In the coaches huddle before the last play setup for “The Shot”, there was a discussion about who should be on the floor for that play. Originally Colby was not going to be out there, but Assistant Trey Scotti- THE VIDEO COORDINATOR - convinced Travis Steele to put Colby in and on the floor. The fact that Steele listened to his assistant, then put in a play that made him an option just elevates Steele in my eyes.
    I’ve said on this board for years that really good assistants on a staff make really good Head Coaches. I haven’t always been sure that Travis has been well served during games by his staff, but this appears to be corrected.
    I love that story.

    That’s a great story and agree about assistants being so important. Coaches that think they have to control everything and don’t let the assistants coach and have a say are doing themselves an injustice.

    He mentioned it in his post game radio comments also.

    Does that say anything about our current assistants?

    That they are pretty smart and not afraid to make suggestions?


    It says this about Steele.....he’s not so big headed that he won’t take suggestions, AND that he is humble enough to give others the credit when they make good suggestions.

    I think he is saying- we have all these assistants and the video coordinator is the one who had to make the suggestion.
