Not sure if this played into it and could explain the poor energy, but I’m sure a 12 EST tipoff didn’t help and sleeping at a shitty hotel.

Lastly, too bad we can’t find someone who can shoot like Keisei for us. Maybe Fred needs to get skinny white kid with a punchable face that can hit 3s consistently.

I get it. Many of our other sports sleep at equal to or shittier places, with 11am game times and our expectations are way higher. And, we spend way less on those sports while flying commercial on top of it. Sometimes, you're dealt a bad hand & gotta perform.

Essegin is at 40.7% this season.

Tominaga was at 37.6%, 40% & 33% in his 3 seasons at NU (most recent first).

I admit KT could create his own and was more of an overall offensive threat by the time he left but IMO, Essegian is a damn good pure shooter.

Just wish Essegian and Williams could get clicking quicker. The rest of the team can hit the 3, just inconsistent. Some of our players need to work on their mobility instead of being like trees lol.

@Carm do you have a link to expenses by sport for NU? Secondly, how it stacks up with other schools?

Or anyone else. I had it, but can't find the damn thing now.

Hopefully Fred is already on it
