I died laughing in my apartment when he said that lol
So what happened to Mr. Teske? I see he had 12 rebounds, but was a bit invisible on the scoring end.
This offense has looked surprisingly good early

I missed the game as I am at work. cliffnotes?
Nunez is just a shooter who canāt shoot. I donāt see him getting much pt the rest of this year or next year.
Thatās a pretty small sample size youāre judging him from.
Duncan Robinson shot under 30% from 3 last year, but we all knew he was better than that through many other observations. Same with Nunez, he can clearly shoot very well as seen in warmups, practices etcā¦
I donāt hold the sentiment that heāll be a key player when Franz comes back, but I think itās shortsighted to say he canāt shoot

Fast paced game with a lot of drives and subsequent kick outs for 3. Just didnāt have the ball that much, really nothing to worry about at all.
Nunez can shoot. Iām fact itās pretty clear from all his film and Iām sure In practice that heās an elite shooter, Hopefully his struggles from deep donāt continue because he obviously is a negative if he canāt hit threes at this point but to me itās obviously a nerves thing. Look at dejulius last year and Eli the previous two. All these guys can clearly shoot. Itās nerves and hitting shots with the bright lights on.
One positive for Nunez is at least heās firing them still so hopefully his confidence isnāt waning.

Honestly he just might be. This roster and x are being slept on. The kid is a beast and is looking like an all American. He single handily took over that creighton game.
His offense is finally catching up to his d. Letās hope his offensive dominance continues when the competitor is a creighton level squad or better each night but Iām confident it will.
Im pretty bitter I wonāt be able to catch that whole iowa st game. Iām hoping the squad plays to itās potential next week because if it does itās going to shake up that Atlantis tourney and wake the national media up.
Reading a lot of articles and mentions of the stacked tourney and Michigan is being named as an after thought or not at all in āthe stacked fieldā. Letās hope the lights arenāt too bright for some of the pups (dejulius, johns, Colin) because if this roster can play to itās potential they have a real shot to win it.

Love your optimism, Sly. Iāve seen most games and have really enjoyed watching, but the jury is still out, for me.
Shooting in practice does not equal shooting in games. He clearly has not demonstrated any ability to do the latter.

Yeah, itās probably a mental thing, but heās just about lost his opportunity to break through. Heāll probably get a couple more chances throughout the rest of the year, but itās getting late early.
In college yes, but he was a sharp shooter in prep school. Thatās why I think itās nerves. Itās not like heās not getting clean looks due to an inability to get open. Heās just missing,
Sometimes going up a level makes things go too fast (hope heās hitting in practice scrimmages too). Lots of great college shooters never find their stroke in the pros. Iām rooting for him, and the coaches see him every day and are giving him starts, so while he hasnāt hit game shots consistently there is certainly plenty of time for him to find a groove.
