X provides consonant support out there on the floor. Thames' ability to wind through defenders and stem the opposing teams tide will be missed

X provides consonant support out there on the floor. Consonant support is important. And X is an underrated consonant that doesn't get used enough in hoops, IMO.

can someone please fill me in on what happened to LBF? Left the team indefinitely to deal with family issues. Anything beyond that is pure speculation.

Um, I'm pretty ok about this if it means him preparing for Saturday against Colorado State. Colorado State is going to be GUNNING for us. It's their MWC statement game. You'd be a fool to think their coach isn't going to have his team fired up. They are going to hustle against us 100% of the game. We need to be prepared. Can't lose that one.

X is also one of our better FT % players, and another option at shooting 3 's if Rahon is off.

Actually, it mostly hurts our outside shooting. We only have two guys who can shoot from the outside: Tapley and X. Taps is at 45%. X is at 42%. That's very, very good. Anything above about 39% is outstanding for college. Everyone else on the team sux from behind the arc. JF is at 24%. Rahon has tanked lately and is at 28%. Not having X in the game hurts our outside shooting two ways. First, it takes one of our best shooters out of the game (obvious.) Second, it allows the defenders to cheat on the outside toward Tapley. They can double him on the perimeter and shut down some of his torrid shooting. He won't get as many open looks if X isn't in the game. Cuz they're sure not going to pressure JF on the perimeter. this

If LBF ever puts on an Aztec Jersey again, I will be shocked. I think he will be at another school next year.

Certainly LBF has seen, in practice, the Shepard that we saw last night. If he wants to play.....
