North Texas (15-4) at Wichita State (11-9) Game Discussion: Jan 29 (Wed)

Maybe Coach Mills should watch Letterkenny.

[pinstripers]

We SHOULD lose this one. Mills SHOULD make drastic changes.

[Shocktoberfest]

A partial list of drastic changes I would like to see that don't require personnel changes:

1. QB touches the ball every time down the court.
2. QB does not leave the lane on defense. Ever!
3. QB does not come out unless he takes himself out or has 3 first half fouls.
4. QB takes a hit of gun powder or lemon juice before the game or whatever stimulant is necessary.
5. At least 5 passes before a shot or at least (see number 1).

I’ll add charging out of the locker room for the second half instead of strolling with warm milk still running down their chin.

Shocks get it done. They can't be bad every game.

Mills: "Challenge accepted"

Mills sees number 1 and thinks "QB touches it every time? Ok he will bring up the ball and we will ISO drive him from the 3pt line every time"

I...I...I...think that is correct.

The Shockers won't actually start playing with any effort until after UNT has played like they want to win for at least 9 minutes.

[JVShocker]

Over under on actual attendance? Anyone?

[kcshocker11]

Shoxs 66 others 65

Weird start time. Very precise.

The scheduler was finishing a sudoku. Cut him a break.

Ballard is one of the most ELITE weapons in the NCAA. Certainly in the AAC. But check this out ...

What does USG% mean?

In NCAA basketball, Usage Percentage (USG%) measures the percentage of team plays a player uses while on the court, considering shot attempts, free throw attempts, and turnovers.

For centers, a high USG% typically falls into these ranges:

• Elite (30% and above) – This level is reserved for dominant post players who are the primary offensive focus (e.g., Zach Edey, Luka Garza).
• High (25-30%) – Very involved in the offense, often a first or second scoring option.
• Average for a starting center (18-25%) – Contributing significantly but not the primary focus.
• Low (<18%) – More of a defensive or rebounding presence than a go-to scorer.

Mills has a once in a career center on his team. The guy all coaches dream of. This is ... well ... underuse abuse.

Mills should be embarrassed.

Kung Wu, that post on Ballard was probably New Topic worthy and not buried in a game discussion.
