Art Linkletter was right, that's why I asked.

I'll leave you 12 year olds to your own devices, I'm going play MineCraft.

Only when he posts.

I can’t figure out if your self awareness is accidentally nonexistent or if it’s just part of your shtick...

You severely need one.

Great to hear about the st Louis kid. The thing is we need at least 3 athletic front court players to win against real teams. Where are the other 2 players going to come from? Unless we can pull 2 rabbits out of the hat this recruiting period it looks bleak for next year.

Kobe Julien (being redshirted due to injury) and Malik Wilson (early signee) are athletic players. I don't know as much about the other two early signees. I know one is a 6'7" forward from Florida and the other is a 6'4" guard from the Houston area. They need to bring in an athletic inside player in spring recruiting and they are focusing on the JUCO ranks in that search.

That can be said for any team in the country.

That is true. Some are encouraged about our early signees. Need to add more in April.

When over half of the roster isn’t quality D1 players it’s hard to win.

LOL, hilarious stuff. Everyone in this forum should be locked in a room together with a keg of beer, hash it out, and end with a big group hug.

As I said anything over 70% is generally considered OK for colleges but we have been better than that in several games this year. What may be causing me to harp on this is several of the critical misses occurred in the latter stages of the game. ULM is generally above 80% which is one reason they are much improved. I understand that is not the norm for the great majority of teams. Someone said earlier they were more ready to play than we were. I would probably agree with that. However, the hot start they got off to from the field gave them even more energy. Defense has to improve for us to pick up a few more wins. You won't beat anybody giving up 99 points. Despite all our limitations, we are generally scoring enough to win. Sounds like I am describing the Pelicans isn't it.

Mike, being over 70% is not OK. It is typically a goal for a team to be at least 70-75% on team FT Shooting on a per game basis. Anything over that is definitely above average. ULM happens to be top 5 in the country in FT shooting. We are top 20 at just about 75%.
