129!!!
Wow, 129 points! I understand it is Eastern Oregon, but we were making it rain! All but 1 player (Brito) got double digits! Plus arguably our 2 best players did not even play.
Good to see Miller light it up! He had 25 points with 4 3 pointers and was perfect from the FT line. Hopefully we build on this and continue to improve. Kuba looked good as well.
This game was good for the backups and makes me excited for the future of Aggie basketball!!!

Yep. Great to get some run for the young guys. Kuba looked great. This team when healthy is sooooo stacked.

Brito did have have 9 rebounds and 11 assists so he produced in other categories including defense.ThunderAggie wrote:Wow, 129 points! I understand it is Eastern Oregon, but we were making it rain! All but 1 player (Brito) got double digits! Plus arguably our 2 best players did not even play.

Especially for miller. If he can be in the 40-50% range we will really hard to beat.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑December 28th, 2019, 4:40 pmHopefully the confidence boost carries into UNLV & SDSU.

Re: 129!!!
I just watched the recap video on KSL.com. Looks like Queta and Merrill both played. No sign of Kuba. Oh, and game was a lot closer. Wait a minute, it's from last year. Job KSL.

Re: 129!!!
It is. Prior to tonight the largest margin of victory was 56 against Western State on December, 15, 2001 followed by 55 in the Weber game earlier this year.Aggieforlife wrote: ↑December 28th, 2019, 4:18 pmIs that our largest margin of victory ever? I’m too lazy to work the google machine.

Agreed. He's still on a Crew Ainge trajectory rather than a Justin Bean one.Usu0505 wrote: ↑December 29th, 2019, 3:44 pmI haven’t said anything bad about him on here and am not starting now but he needs to go off against a quality team before we go to crazy.lionhead wrote:I notice the Miller haters from Chat have disappeared???!!!

Re: 129!!!
When Miller is on, he is an asset to the team and it make up for being a mild defensive liability. However, when he is cold (which has been a lot lately), I don't think he should be getting as much playing time and he has been getting.

Re: 129!!!
It is no coincidence that Miller’s 6 double-figure scoring games have come against teams we have beaten by an average of 45 points. In the other 9 games he is averaging 5.3 ppg on 35% shooting, 29% on 3-pointers and 29 minutes/game. We don’t need Brock to be good against St. Katherine and Eastern Oregon. We need him to be good in meaningful games. Thus far that hasn’t been the case. His current 10.3 ppg average should have an asterisk by it.

Re: 129!!!
My issues with Brock haven't changed - but if he continues to have shooting percentages like the last two games, I can live with it.

Re: 129!!!
When Brock was missing shots, he was missing open shots.. He wasn't even worth covering at some points this season. But now he is making open shots, which is not very dependent on opponent. The hope is that his game vs. Florida and Eastern Oregon gives him some confidence. I view this as a turning point. We're entering back into league play and Brock now has 2 good games in a row under his belt.utaggies wrote: ↑December 29th, 2019, 8:20 pmIt is no coincidence that Miller’s 6 double-figure scoring games have come against teams we have beaten by an average of 45 points.

Do we really need to continue to crap on the guy?
If beating the tar out of a lesser opponent is what it takes to get his confidence up, lets find a bunch of toddlers and have Brock play them- by the way UF is still a good team, and Brock did play well against them, so no- it's not just Eastern Oregon.

Re: 129!!!
I hope you're right! My take is that it isn't a confidence thing, it's a pressure thing. He seems to do better in games where we are heavily favored or winning big. Hopefully he can continue to shoot well, I think shooting from the wings is key for this team to continue to make strides.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑December 30th, 2019, 6:24 amWhen Brock was missing shots, he was missing open shots..

Re: 129!!!
I don't think that's the case. He performed well against Florida and also against Washington in the big dance last year. Of all the players on our team he seemed like the one who came most ready to play for that game.dirtnsnow wrote: ↑December 30th, 2019, 11:13 amI hope you're right!

Brock has definitely had issues with consistency in his shooting, but he seems to be playing better as of late.

Re: 129!!!
Miller is perfect from the FT line on the year. Shooting 100% at 9-9. For his career he's a 91.9% free throw shooter.ThunderAggie wrote: ↑December 28th, 2019, 3:54 pmGood to see Miller light it up! He had 25 points with 4 3 pointers and was perfect from the FT line.

Re: 129!!!
Whatever it is, I hope he can get to where he is consistently shooting well. When the 3 ball is falling, the spacing makes us a dangerous team.treesap32 wrote: ↑December 30th, 2019, 11:40 amI don't think that's the case.

Re: 129!!!
Is there a stat that shows how many points opposing teams score off of a player’s missed shots? When we miss quickly taken threes there is little opportunity to get back and defend. Often times they are worse than live ball turnovers, but I’ve never seen a start for points off missed threes.

Like a soccer defender that needs to learn to resist the self-preservation instinct to move in front of a shot to block it, Brock needs to learn to move into a defender on an out-of-control closeout when he's squared up for a 3 instead of away from the defender. If he could do that, he'd likely get 2 to 3 FT attempts per game instead of 0.6.
