The yips are a mfer.
Speaking of MFers, here’s a couple B.A.MFers:

I think something like this would make a good t-shirt if I do say so myself.

Omar Payne sighting yesterday in the Kansas-UCF game. He had a couple dunks in the 2nd half including a fast break dunk that definitely helped maintain momentum for UCF and a block in the 1st half on McCullar. It reminded me of a couple flashes that he would have from time to time in an Illini uniform. 4 pts, 3 rebs, 1 block in reserve duty. He seems to be playing a very similar role as he did when he was with Illinois and Florida.

I mean, he made 9/15 3s. He was not really a consistent rotation player. Later in the year, he started to play a bit more, but 15 shots is a tiny, tiny sample size.
Yes, he averaged 10 MPG in 6 games from January 29th to February 19th, then he got sick and was out. Played 20 minutes and really well against Houston in the NCAA Tournament and the hype train went overboard heading into his Sophomore year.

I will say I thought he really looked the part as a freshman. He just didn't seem to improve much in any facet.

RJ is 9-52 or 17.3% from 3 so far this season.
Like the kid, but nothing has changed. Horrendous shooter. Should just concentrate on slashing through the lane, mid jumpers and strong defense. He does the team no good in sitting in the corner waiting for a 3 point attempt. If I’m the other team, let him take those shots uncontested.
