Huh. So it's almost more of a direct correlation (10% less) between both types of missed shots?

Maybe missing the shots in the paint puts more pressure on having to make the outside shots?

I don't know, probably more just me getting frustrated when we don't finish around the rim.

I think it all works together, and I think how we defend has a big role in it too. The better we defend and the more missed shots we rebound, the easier it is for us to get out and into pace (and into a flow). The foul issues we've had recently kill us both on defense but also on offense, because it forces us to take out the ball under the basket and eliminates a ton of our pace stuff.

State was a little weird because of their size at the rim - finishing against them on drives is much more difficult than against most other teams. We also just doinked some gimmees.

Palm has Illinois as the 4th #1 seed and us in their bracket.

They are determined to have 2 Big 10 teams as 1 seeds.

I just don't see it. You might be able to bully players down low in juco, as a 6'5" PF with a 4" vertical leap, but it's not going to work in the SEC. I think he could shoot better than he has this year, but I don't think he has the talent or skill set to compete at this level.


Rojas has to have some regression to the mean at some point. I'm not going to argue that he has not been extremely poor offensively this year. That's undeniable.

But I pointed out a couple of weeks ago that there is no way he could have put up the JUCO numbers he really is as bad of a shooter as he has shown this year.

I can see struggling with the pace of play, athleticism of defenders, and tighter windows and stuff like that with the jump from JUCO to D1. But uncontested shots like wide-open 3's and free throws shouldn't be any different.

Rojas at JUCO:
PPG: 19.0
FGA: 50.4% (176-349)
2PA: 53.6% (148/276)
3PA: 38.4% (28/73)
FTA: 79.5% (171/215)

Rojas at Alabama:
PPG: 3.3
FGA: 32.4% (23/71) - down 18%
2PA: 38.3% (18/47) - down 15.3%
3PA: 20.8% (5/24) - down 17.6%
FTA: 66.7% (24/36) - down 12.8%

Those JUCO numbers aren't "can't shoot a lick" numbers. But for whatever reason, it just isn't happening for him this year.

This has to be far and away his best game of the season.

10. Keon Ellis (-5.3)


I feel like I deserve some blame here. I started talking him up as being low key one of the 3 or 4 best players on the team and he literally immediately started to stink up the joint and has continued to do so ever since. His inability to stay on his feet against a pump fake 24 feet from the basket is becoming extremely concerning. It's like he has the fricking yips or something and it's involuntary.

One thing that may be overlooked is that players often use an injury year to bulk up.

I'm not sure what size Rojas was when he got to Bama, but he missed all last season with the torn ACL and may have committed to adding bulk and getting stronger to be able to bang with SEC bigs on his return to the detriment of his shooting ability.

If Juwan, Keon and Alex are leading your +/- for February, you know you weren't playing your best as a team.
