Paul Mills Caramelized Marshmallow Seat

[Aargh]

There are a lot of first and second-year coaches in this league that are doing a lot better than Mills, and they are at schools with less tradition and history and lesser facilities and lower attendance than Mills has at WSU.

Any basketball saavy people here attend practices to see what is going on, or is that not possible?

So long as you don’t find a beak in it!

The comb adds some nice texture.

Where were we picked to finish in the AAC again? Wasn't it like 3rd or 4th?

we got them right where we want them. They'll never see us coming.

we got them right where we want them. They'll never see us coming.

Because we'll be so far back? Give us a couple more weeks and they'll need a good pair of binoculars to see us in the standings.

[ShockTalk]

So, is that Mills getting off the "sinking ship" basketball program with his pockets full of gold doubloons?

[shocker43]

Weren't we picked fourth in the pre-season?

[Aargh]

I watched Charlotte last night. They have made significant improvement from earlier in the year. WSU has gone the other direction.

"They will never see us coming" because we won't be. I don't see us beating Charlotte at their place. If we can beat UTSA here, we might be able to salvage a tie for last place instead of sole occupancy.

We were voted 4th in the preseason based on an evaluation of the talent on the roster. That talent is still there.

Here's something I remember from preseason when Meeks was still on both legs. In his previous 4 years of basketball, one of Meeks strengths was midrange shots. He hadn't taken many 3 point shots. Mills told him that if he could hit from 17', then he could certainly hit from 20' because it's not that much harder to hit a shot from 3' further out. 1) That's just dumb. It is harder to hit a shot from 3' further out then where your strength is. 2) He wanted Meeks to abandon his strength (midrange) and use his weakness (3point shots). That might make my knee hurt too.

Yes

19-20: 40-110
20-21: 19-53 (only played 18 games)
21-22: 32-100
22-23: 35-108
23-24: 6-13 (only played 5 games)

He's taken plenty of 3's and it's been a part of his game from day one and he's about a 35% shooter from deep. Not great, but solid, especially for a big guy.

Looking even more into his numbers, 384 of his 670 career FG attempts have been from three, and 132 of his 294 makes are from three.
