After St. Peter's Santi 22-63 34.9% Gainey 15-52 28.8% Gainey really needs to just focus on driving the ball offensively. He can get to the rim and either convert or get fouled. He did that once last night, got the foul and hit 1/2 FT's. But his 3 point shooting is just not good enough at this point IMO to justify him shooting many at all. Even wide open he misses a lot of them badly. He did hit one last night if memory serves.

After St. Peter's Santi 22-63 34.9% Gainey 15-52 28.8% Santi looked more confident in his shot attempts last night. I hope he continues to get good looks and takes them. He's not scorching the nets this season, but he's hitting at a good enough clip right now that I hope he'll shoot them when he's open without the hesitation/hitch that he has shown before last night.

After Texas.... Santi 22-66 33.3% Gainey 15-56 26.8% So at this point, Santi's improved shooting since his early struggles are what I'd guess is about average, or maybe a bit below, for a shooting guard. Still, it's solid enough that I want him taking open threes. Gainey needs to just stop shooting threes and focus on driving and/or getting to the FT line.

I'm starting to think maybe my prediction ain't a gonna come true. I'm rooting for ya though. Gonna have to light it up. If they both shoot several per game and hit 50%, and we make it to the Final Four... OK, I'm going to just stop.

Gotta bump this thread because I’m rarely right about these things but I still really believe Mashack is the key unexpected guy to push us to points we have never accomplished. Yeah we must have Knecht, ZZ, Aidoo but Mashack is the wildcard that most teams always seem to have to go to that one special night

Yeah we must have Knecht, ZZ, Aidoo but Mashack is the wildcard that most teams always seem to have to go to that one special night He was huge last night and his defense in extended minutes that he doesn’t always get was likely one of the biggest keys to our victory. And JJJ came up huge for us. If he had given us a 2-9 performance from the field, we would have lost as well.
