    B1G Portal transfers tracker

    Very little playing time at Mizzou. Not a stretch guy— no 3s and all of on 26% free throws. We’re getting a bit desperate on bigs but it’s not clear that this guy would be that helpful except to clog the lane but maybe there’s something there if TAM & IU are actually interested in him .

    B1G Portal transfers tracker

    He would be a massive upgrade, with him and Nick on the inside, both likely drawing double teams, the perimeter would really open up for 3s. I imagine it will take quite a bag of nil to land Mara, especially as bigs are generally quite expensive this year.

    Negotiations are Underway

    Certainly hope your thought is correct!

    Talent is there

    Yes, but we really need a really solid big to anchor the defense. Hunger is not even close to Matt’s defensive presence although he might score a bit more. Without a stoppe, the defense will not be nearly as strong as the last 3 years.

    Nicholson’s eye injury status?

    My question is why was there no review for a flagrant foul especially with Matt flat on his back for 3-4 minutes?

    We need to have a chat about Jordan Clayton

    Serious question—- don’t you think that B Mac, CCC or other of the coaches would already have tried to work with him on both his shooting and handle? I would be most surprised if they hadn’t done so. That is a big part of why I think he doesn’t become a serviceable Big reserve.

    We need to have a chat about Jordan Clayton

    The point raised throughout this thread is that from what Clayton has shown, the probabilities of his becoming a serviceable player are probably 5 to 15 %. After two years he is an absolute liability on offense and his defense is still far from what is needed. There are no flashes to show he can...

    Can someone tell me why Blake Smith is in the game?

    Well I think he thought that Smith had learned his and would never foul again on a close out at the end of the game. Smith owes Martinelli big time for making that last shot to save Smith from being the goat ( and not the G.O.A.T kind).

    Free throws

    You are spot on with this analysis and lay out the way to solve a free throw shooting problem.

    Matthew Able back on the table?

    Being glued to the bench in his second year and with a very promising class coming in, he’s basically got to conclude that if wants to play in college that he has to transfer. More or less the same for Clayton who didn’t make the necessary jump from year one to year two and has almost...
