I’ve got a copy cat now 😂😂😂 You've finally made it, although we haven't heard from my doppelganger @fatsackofsh*t for awhile In his last 5 games EJ is 16 for 53 from the field. That is a problem. I'm also of the mind that it is less about his shot and more about his shot selection. He makes some pretty sketchy decisions on when to take shots. For all the mentions of BJ having a "bad" game, he was 50% from the field. KP is clearly on a roll right now. I was pleased with Langston and Fields tonight offensively, I just can't help but think that the lineup with the two of them on the court is our worst post combination. Both of them can be deadly effective, but I feel like they're better matched with Duffy or Simeon. If I were setting our post rotation, I'd have Duffy either alone or with Fields/Wilson, Simeon with either Fields/Wilson, or the very occasional Simeon/Fields/Wilson alone for a short stretch. Shot selection is paramount for teams who look to score as much as we do. If EJ was going to be the guy who attempted the most shots in a game this weekend, I'd prefer it to have been against Detroit. One thing I want to point out is that they are doing a hell of a job spreading the ball around. EJ had 13 attempts, but Pratt/Freeman/Fields each had 10 and Pullian had 9. You flip EJ and Pullian's attempts and we probably win this game easily. That's not a knock on EJ per se, I just would like him to focus on distribution a little more. It will probably have the benefit of opening up his shots. I hope EJ doesn’t have a stinker on Saturday when I make the trip. I have no ill will against UDM, so I’ll do my best to be respectful during the game. Especially if we are blowing them out early

EJ is 3 for his last 22 from 3, going back to St. Thomas. Worse yet, he's 2 for his last 18 from 3 going back 4 games to Chattanooga. This is ice cold big man shooting percentages.
His shooting percentage is now 10 percentage points worse than last year from the floor, and nearly 20 percentage points lower from 3.

Fields was pretty good tonight, his best game of the year by far. Encouraging sign, Missed franklin tonight bigtime. Fields wouldve had about 25-30 if he could catch the ball consistently near the rim and finish his and1 attempts. Plus he left some free throws. It was one of his better games but he left alot of points out there that may have won us the game. I was happy with Langston's activity and prowess around the rim. Not sure why Bart always gives him the quick hook at 17:30 most games. He was a major reason for the 9-4 start. I feel for BJ. Just stinks his season is going to be limited by back issues. Barely practicing and just not looking like himself. It just stinks that he has to deal with back issues. Pierce Spencer's injury has probably been the biggest reason for our overall struggles. What a bummer. EJ has to play a lot of minutes and we lost an all conference defender. As a huge KP fan, glad to see him killing it. The tech was dumb and unfortunate but he was able to put it behind him and play well to finish the game. Wish he swung it to Gelo for the corner 3 at the end but probably felt like he needed to get it up quick. We are nearing a top 100 offense and bottom 10 defense on Kenpom. Time to put it on UDM tomorrow.

Liked seeing his motor up.
