Notable:The return of McOrebs. 5 Oboard game and back to back 9 RB games. Plus a really efficient offensive game, 18 PTs with an offensive rating of 148.
Rod is shooting .429 in Big 12 games, back to where we expected after he struggled in the OOC (only .250)...
The 2 spot.
I've given my share of critique to the 2 spot, but back to back solid games, and really decent the last 4.
Last 4 games:
Tay 12-24 FG, 7-12 3PT, 31 points.
Will 15-28 FG, 8-14 3PT, 41 points.
If those 2 can combine to get 18 PPG on a regular basis and 4-7 from 3, that does a lot for this offense and Rod. Tay has quietly raised his 3PT% up to .417 (.500 in Big 12 play!), tying Shane for the best on the team on the season, which leads us to...
Slumping Shane:5-23 overall the last 3 games. 1-9 from 3 the last 2. We knew he'd have some down shooting eventually, hopefully he can stop the slide. However he has been flying up the per100s assists (4 in each of the last 3 games) plus has maintained solid dboarding, so he's still doing plenty to help this team.
Gip it inside:The Cats have made an effort to get Gip involved and he's had double digit scoring games 2 of the last 3. More importantly he's been able to stay on the floor while avoiding foul trouble. He's our 2nd most efficient scorer in Big 12 play to Rod, and remember he only played 9 minutes in Ames...
