Agreed about Burton
You’re right but unfortunately it is hard to convince players not to do things to increase their draft stock.
It's not just you, he's shooting 36.8% from the floor against really poor competition. Despite that, he's averaging almost 20 points per game based on sheer volume, and somehow the team is averaging 87.5ppg despite him missing 24 FG attempts so far this year. That won't fly when we get into the meat of our schedule and we aren't rebounding quite as effectively.
Maybe he's allowing him to shoot 3s now... almost like the whole Wimbush become a pocket passer against Ball State thing?
Yeah Shrews doesn’t seem like the kind of coach who will indulge poor shot selection for long.
Allocco reminds me a lot of Cormac Ryan. Smart player, good perimeter shooter, and a welcomed addition. Needed someone else to stretch the floor, if he can continue to shoot the 3 that well along with Shrews, that takes a TON of pressure off of Burton and makes this offense dangerous. Having two wings who can shoot with a G who can attack the paint as good as Burton? Good luck defending that. Plus, Tae Davis and the bigs look much improved. Njie looks like a completely different basketball player.
Yep. Rutgers and Houston will present a great opportunity for this team, a split would be nice. Either win should be a nice resume boost if ND contends for a bubble spot.
I doubt that would happen; I was expecting them to be in the "others receiving votes" category but no ND after the AP poll was released today.
Still such a puzzling transfer to me. He had a very solid role and future here. Curious what even happened.
There’s actually three games in Vegas next week. We play a team from the other bracket on Saturday for first, third, or fifth place depending on how the first two games go.
And they’re hitting everything.
Fact. Their zone and length can certainly be a problem all season long. But yeah… awful defending all game long.
214th in KenPom.
