    Yvan was playing very under-control.  His one shot was a 'this shot is going to go in two armed bank against the backboard' and at one point when he got the ball in a crowd he didn't force it up.

     

    I noticed last night that Yvan was playing like he had gotten some very good advice and was paying attention.  It was encouraging.

    The entire lineup and makeup of the team changes when Walker is available. Probable starter, been hearing from someone who is close to the team that he is by far the most vocal and their leader. Also said he’s going to bring some “enforcer” type mentality down low.  It’s been a while since we’ve had a true enforcer from a big man....

    He was on here reading the posts on what he needed to do.😃

    Umude would look better in scarlet than vermillion.

     

    Umude is in a weird spot this year. He's historically about a 34% 3-point shooter who is struggling mightily from beyond the arc this year. That could be a team-wide funk problem. They're all struggling. Looks like last 10 minutes last night they began to snap out of it, but we have absolutely no place on our roster for a shooting guard who's hitting less than 12% of this three-point attempts. And that's where Umude is right now.

    If he was on our roster he'd be in our starting lineup playing 20-30 minutes. that dude brings a lot more to the table than 3 games worth of 3pt shooting statistics

    The big thing that Umude brings that we don't possess is rebounding so whomever we would need to take out to make the best starting 5. He reminds me of Shavon Shields.

    Seemed like it took Banton quite a while to get back in the flow after the early foul trouble. Hopefully he can play better in those situations in the future.

     

    Thor seems to be struggling right now, but hes still probably the 2nd best deep threat on this team, will need him to get straightened out. Didnt play the last 16 minutes, hopefully no injury issue.

    Mayen and Allen are both better for sure and I would argue Webster and McGowens are both better too.  He also brings less to the table than Delano and Shamiel

    I think people in this thread are underestimating how desperate SDSU was last night and how well coached they are. That was a team throwing everything they had trying to get a win. 
     

    We basically played like an older brother who doesn’t want to hurt his little brother too much, but the little brother won’t stop getting up.

    Thor’s passing against a zone is a sight to behold.  Against a packed m2m, those opportunities just don’t come as often unless you can be a threat off the dribble or are absolutely deadly from deep.  If he’s shooting 40% from 3, play him all night. But he’s not, and when he’s not, we have better options.  

    It’s difficult to pass when you rarely touch the ball.

    I do remember one play when Thor was up the floor wide open and had his hands out in the “throw me the ball” position” and Trey dibbles the ball all the way up ignoring him on the kick ahead and took the ball all the way to the basket and made that hard right hand on the left side layup. When he shot the ball Thor’s hands were still up telling me he was not thrilled with being ignored

    Allen? His scissor kicking ugly jumper? He shot 32% from 3 against juco competition. Thor shot 38% in the big 10.

    Teddy shot 37% last season at WNCC.

     

    I was told that Thorir and Lat were consistently their two best shooters in practice heading into the season. Thorir is in a massive slump right now, but there's a reason Hoiberg keeps starting him and wants him to keep shooting the ball. He said that he worked with Thor on some mechanical things leading up to the USD game and that he was shooting lights out in warmups before the game, but the ball didn't really find him and he only attempted one 3. Hoiberg has confidence that he'll break out of the slump at some point.
