It was a special game for Rodriguez as well, as his mother was able to make the trip from Puerto Rico to see him play for the first time in his collegiate career.

Hope the flag was flying high.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The Mercury's too cheap to hire copy editors, so you get sentences like this.

Angel was looking for it and we had our moment.  Feel bad about it not being there for most of the games this year.  From now on, free ticket recipients must bring a PR flag and rise it during the national anthem.

Does anyone else think that Angel is having a pretty bad game? His shot selection has been atrocious today.

Do the Lebanese have a secret hatred of Puerto Ricans or something? Bart Raygun is really throwing me off here.

How many tucks yell at you for holding up the flag of another country during 'merica's anthem?  I bet the over/under is 3.5 per game.

How many assists did he have at that time? Reagan is a dummy that likes to hate on Angel. As far as shot selection goes,a couple of the misses were layups. Want to hate, do so on missing layups rather than players selecting them as shots.

None since the incident.  And we only do it until Angel nods anyway.

I did respond at the time.

@brettregan Maybe shooting, but everything else no. Angel has to be on the floor for this offense to run. And his defense has been great.

I would venture as far as to say he knows nothing of shooting rays either.

Angel-haters are just ignorant rednecks. The pro-Sean crowd is actively rooting for our football program to be sent to the depths of hell. I'll take the former 8 days a week.

Pro tip: same ppl, just some are smart enough to understand that calling out our best guard as our worst guard will directly out them as racists and they understand that just because they "have a friend that is Puerto Rican", it doesn't mean that they aren't racists.

The Angel haters are pro-Sean and openly racist.

Angel is the worst shooter on the team of any player with more than 50-60 shot attempts.   ArT is shooting 36% INSIDE the arc. 

Shoot less, create and kick more.

It's really not that hard.

Angel's ability (and threat) to get to the rim is what makes him most dangerous IMHO. 1/3 of his shots are lay-ups and 1/2 are 3PTAs, which is about right for a dynamic PG. As far as improvement, IMHO he needs to get better at using his body to draw contact and get more FT attempts.

He reminds me a bit of Pullen earlier in his career, he is great at getting into the lane but too often throws up attempts that have little chance of going in but is also out of control enough that he's not going to get a foul call.

Pullen's 2PT% gradually rose over his last 3 years; 43.6% his SO year, then 45% and 46.1% his JR and SR years. However, more importantly his FT rate went from 31% as a SO to 51.5% and 49.1% his JR and SR seasons.

Angel's 2PT% is currently down, from 39.7% to 36.5%, but more importantly his FT rate is also down, from 47.7% to 33.6%. 3PT% has stayed about the same, around 32%.

Angel deserves tons of credit for increasing his Assist% and lowing his TO%, now he needs to get his scoring numbers and FT rate up. I firmly believe that will come as the season progresses. I have to think injuries have hurt his development here as well, especially explosiveness and ability to finish at the rim.

I just don't see how anybody could watch more than a couple minutes of one of our games and not realize that Angel is by far the best player on the team.

Different players, different skill sets, both equal importance for this team and at the top of the list.
