The thing that maybe goes unheralded with Q is for the most part is his confidence and decision making at this stage. His stats are great and he plays so hard. His effort is great, his decision making is good and it is only going to get better. That's crazy exciting.

Agreed, but he needs to be better about not driving into traffic and getting tied up or turned over.

And that dribble-hop/gallup-turnover thingamajig… What was that? Freshmen gonna freshman, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

He is scary good now, and will only get better.
My favorite for B1G FOTY… 🏆

He is really good. Not sure his decision making is there yet. He is still very chaotic. This can be good at times and bad too. He needs to find a middle ground.

I think the first half served its purpose and Brad got tape for the rest of the year. I'm watching it again and it looked like the whole point was to put them in uncomfortable defensive positions. No better way to push the importance of talking non-stop and winning on the boards.

Coleman is good, I like Williams on ball a lot somebody is going to loose time to that kid because Brad has to have a way to stop the ball. Coleman and Williams can actually trap, we have not had that for a bit.

Tomi in drop is just terrible they scored almost everytime. I really hoped Z would come in a be dominate on the inside, I just think we need more from him every game he plays?

Long as Andj is ok? What’s with Mirk in a boot?

Hope everyone is ok.

Andrej looked like he was trying to force things too much early in the game.

Lincoln has go-go gadget arms and I think it takes a lot of people by surprise just how long he is. Super disruptive.

Ethan Brown looks like he absolutely belongs in a high major game and will probably be a real contributor this year. Really all of the freshman looked like they belonged on the court.

Twins seem to be getting worse every year.

Mirkovic will be fine. I don't think he misses a ton of games, this is to get him to 100%.

Andrej and Z hit their head, don't think either were serious. Probably a week or so.

Tomi is fine, could have gone back in.

Brad will never say this but he loved the first half. Ammo going forward and a good learning experience. Response was good after halftime.

Obviously, nobody holds you to this, but IYO, is he back for Texas Tech?

So there "hasn't been a setback" but he's back in a boot?

Yeah its confusing. Doubt they will give us any more news but rebreaks and stress fractures in other part of the foot (or other foot) are pretty common during recovery. I didn't take it easy this last time and ended up doubling recovery time and getting achilles tendonitis in the break foot and tearing the plantar plate on the opposite foot. Hopefully he can make it back to 100% in time for the tournament (health and playing shape) but these things can linger.

Im hoping the scooter was more for faster mobility in the big venue as usually boots alone are preferable after a couple weeks because weight bearing promotes bone healing. Hopefull the scooter doesn't mean we're back to day 1.
