If he needed any extra motivation for the rest of the season, well, there you go.
An ISU fan is chirping on twitter that Lipsey shouldâve been Def POY because he has .5 more steals per game than Shead and I used this chart as rebuttal. lol
Very unlikely that Francis & Tugler play together. CKS already said earlier in the year , that combo didnât work well when he tried it. And would avoid doing it again if possible.
And the fact that Tugler is likely getting a green light on 3 balls next year is going to be fun to watch our 4/5 stretch the floor.
Heartland went Lipsey.
Head to head:
At their place
Shead 14 pts, 2 steal, 2 block, 5 TO
Lipsey 14 pts, 1 steal, 0 block, 4 TO
In Houston
Shead 26 pts, 3 steal, 0 block, 2 TO
Lipsey 4 pts, 1 steal, 0 block, 6 TO
I donât recall the matchups but I assume Shead and Lipsey were mainly guarding each other.
Not to belabor the point, because who really cares, but the only stat Heartland used to prop up Lipsey was steal per game. If you look at conference only, Shead and Lipsey both averaged 2.2 stl/game (behind UCFs Darius Johnson at 2.6/game.)
Iâll go with the official selection from the Big 12.
Heartland has always been anti-Houston. They didnât have Roberts or Sharp anywhere, and went with Jizzle James and Eric Dailey over Jojo on the freshman team. Go ask Bill Self which opposing freshman scares him the most in the Big 12 moving forward, and I GUARANTEE you he will say Jojo Tugler.
Legend.
$head.
I am very happy that the hard work and success these players and coaches put in this season is being recognized nationally. We will be talking fondly about this team 20 years from now. They are setting a new standard.
Man⊠Our offense is clicking on all cylinders right nowâŠ
Letâs make another tourney run!
Looking at the head-to-head overall, Iâd call it a draw at ISU, with maybe a very slight edge to Lipsey because of offensive efficiency. But the hometown Heartlandâs DPOY got absolutely worked at Houston and showed a bottom-tier defensive effort.
Considering Tugler is working on his 3 point shot and I am assuming his mid range game as well, I am sure coach wouldnât mind trying it next season. This season that combo wouldnât work offensively.
I will believe Tugler is ready for 3pt shooting in games when his free throws improve
He already had the green light from CKSâŠ
I want to see JâWan hit that 3⊠This team would be unstoppable if they had to guard him for the pick and pop 3 at the top of the key.
Iâm less worried about that duoâs shooting than I am about ball-handling and passing. Theyâll both get better at that, but I wouldnât expect JâWan-level handles from either of them.
there were a couple times vs Kansas on Saturday where JâWan had the ball around the 3 point line but passed it off.
would have been a perfect opportunity to take a shot!
I mean if he had two good hands Iâd agree with you.
Yep⊠They shrink the paint when he has the ball at the top of the key because they know he ainât shootingâŠ
His post game is so nice, though!
Thatâs not why he isnât shooting from 3âŠ
