Nice win yesterday, good 2nd half

This. Thank You. Thank you. Support artists and not AI slop made by data centers.

Whos going to make our game day thread art now? I think most agree with your point but not sure it applies here.

Also, are the artists in this scenario the branding firm that we paid millions to develop the slop logo we got?

Baraka was looking to draw fouls as he drove to the basket. He wasn't getting the calls he thought he should have gotten. He always looking to get free throws.

Indeed, last year with Mercer, Baraka was 9th in the country in Fouls Drawn per 40 minutes averaging 7.5. And he shot 81% from the line, so he gets a fair number of his points from there.

Some guy by the name of Dybantsa was 15th at 7.2.

The refs seemed pretty slow blowing the whistle, at least in the first half.

They were collapsing really hard on Okojie yesterday (sometimes being triple teamed when he hit the paint) and the refs did allow a lot more contact in the first half.

I thought the very first play where we got him open cutting the basket was a good idea but he missed the layup and didn’t really go back to it again. I couldn’t tell if it was because they did a really good job covering our actions off the screen or if we got trigger happy with the 3s.

What’s he doing now? Wonder if he could help the wizards at all

nnaji- supposedly bad knees. Not completely sure.

Back*-- Bad Back. Aiming for a late December return.

Gotcha- I heard knee but I know how info can be. Either way he isn't healthy enough to contribute at the moment.

Its the lower lumbar spine injury he suffered back in June '24 playing for FC Barcelona and re-aggravated last season playing for Baylor...

IMHO, he is sidelined for the season.

I think some of you are just making stuff up. He's been practicing and is getting closer to being game ready. We'll see him probably after the Florida trip would be my guess.

If he is listed as “not injury related” it must be fitness (coming back from injury, not yet ready to play). Last thing you want is for him to aggravate something because he gets tired out there.

But I have zero inside information so I’m making stuff up here. Makes sense to me though. Not sure why they wouldn’t just list him as undisclosed injury like Marville if he’s actually injured.

My info came from like over the summer, so its dated. I haven't gotten much other than "hes not healthy"

I'd say let's just focus on the players who are here and are on the bench ready to play each game.

Let's let things play out rather than jump to assumptions and saying random things none of us truly knows about or heard from the rumor mill.
