Kaleb Johnson stats:
2016-17: FG %: 44.2%; 3PT %: 25.0%; FT %: 51.1%
2017-18: FG %: 70.4%; 3PT %: 63.6%; FT %: 75.0%
Yes, it's a small sample vs. lousy competition. But that doesn't explain his FT %, or his 3PT % on open threes. He is playing with a high level of confidence and looks like a totally different player out there. If this level of play continues, it will make a huge difference in Big East games.

And there's the obligatory foul on the three point shooter. The more things change.... .

I know this is one of the worst teams in the country, but that alone can't explain how Kaleb Johnson is playing. It's like he was too afraid to do anything offensively the past two years. But even that doesn't explain his three point shot being so much better.

Notwithstanding what's on the front page, if you do a little searching you can find the tomorrow's game on DirecTV. While it's not showing on the "main" Fox Sports Southwest channel (676), it's being being show on channel 676-1.

Observations from first Ewing game live after attending literally hundreds of JT3 games: 1. GU desperately needs a PG - it’s going to likely be the difference between a stunning debut and just a good one for Pat and Co. 2. Style of ball is so much better to watch - wow, what a difference. Team with weaker personnel on paper than last season looks better than any Hoyas team in years relative to comfort on floor and flow. There aren’t those hideous halting moments where the bigs flash high, get the ball and hold the ball for 10 seconds before awkwardly handing off. And this is Game 2 with a punch of pups playing. Most impressive to me is how well this team passes and moves ball in half court given that’s not even really the uptempo focus. Not to Edited on the departed, but juxtaposition is NOT kind to JT3. 3. Yeah, it’s MSM, but they were a tourney team last season, Junior is a very good player and we handled them more convincingly than ND or Marquette. 4. Pickett is a future pro. Kid is big time. Blair is going to be solid. Once again, really too bad this team doesn’t have a natural PG. 5. Mulmore is ... well... not a PG. Kid totally lacks the spacing and passing intuition to be the handles under pressure for a legit squad. 6. As stated by many ITT above, Govan is a totally different player. 7. Pat can coach. Shame on me for questioning a guy who spent as long as he did on NBA benches, but he knows what he is doing - no doubt. You don’t look as reasonably smooth and confident as this group looked last night against reasonable competition in Game 2 unless growth is happening at a solid rate in practice. We’ll see if Pat has a late-game knack later this season, but he has them prepared. 8. Love the intensity. Was Pat scorching guys routinely? No, but the guy who said above his demeanor is similar to JT3’s just doesn’t know what he’s watching. Sodom got a Popsesque 90-second short shift in the first half last night when he didn’t box out one of MSM’s midgets. And during the Mount’s only “run” of the game when they cut it to 15 in second half, Ewing at one point yanked Derrickson for playing crap D and settling for deep 3s and gave him one heck of an earful on reinsertion. Dude is way more intense than 3, and his players reflect that with intensity. 9. No way is this the worst team in the BE. Certainly not the best, but we are going to shock some folks this season and absolutely pull some upsets. Love, love, love what I️ see so far. And not a single reverse spin dribble 30 foot from the basket without a defender anywhere nearby.

I liked the fact that Ewing called a TO three minutes into the game after a really bad defensive lapse on a PNR. Something JTIII would never do this and it drove me crazy.

Let me start by saying that I didn't support Trump, didn't vote for him, and won't defend him. But does it bother any of the frequent posters on this board that it now appears that the FBI agreed in October 2016, one month before the election, to fund an opposition research project that was previously funded by an unnamed Republican Trump opponent and then by the Clinton campaign? Can you explain the reasoning of why it should bother us? And that response explains why I should have stayed with my instincts and not tried to engage in an intelligent political discussion on an Internet message board. Never mind.

I guess he needs to pass the bill so he can find out what's in it.

Well, he was 0-10 from three last year with the Hoyas, so 0-6 shouldn't be that unexpected in his first game for the Huskers.

When it comes to this administration, I wouldn't be so quick to assume bad intent as opposed to utter incompetence.

Given my position, I can't comment publicly. I understand. Is there any article or journal that you can instruct us to read that might paint a clearer picture of the complexities, or is that also out of bounds? Here's a start: www.hda.org/news/2017-10-15-correcting-the-recordWhile I recognize that this is from an industry trade association, also recognize the source of the 60 Minutes story - a consultant to plaintiffs' counsel in multiple lawsuits against the industry.

What's the other side? Right now this looks like exhibit A for why people hate Government. Given my position, I can't comment publicly.

This is one of those times where the rule against cursing on this forum is probably for the best... True indeed.. Incredible segment on 60 minutes last night and great article image Washington Post.. Having worked in the industry for 20 years, suffice it to say that you heard one side of a very complicated story.

The Forbes article makes a great point. Trump has never been in a leadership role of a group, other than his own family. Unlike Tillerson, he really has no idea of leadership where multiple constituencies and stakeholders are involved. Having dealt with both real estate developers like Trump and Fortune 15 CEOs like Tillerson in my career, I couldn't agree more. So regardless of what you think of Trump's political views or whether you think he's a racist or just a complete buffoon (or both), he will never be an effective President simple because he doesn't have the skill set or any interest in learning the right skills.

There were more fast breaks with correct passes in that video than I've seen Georgetown make in the past four years. And even a successful inbounds play for a dunk. So at least there's that.

I have to disagree with this. I support justice, and UNC getting off with a slap on the wrist would not be just. So no matter how much the wrist slap would irritate our friends from the great north, I hope that UNC gets what they have coming. I understand your position but would rather watch UNC get away with using the Warriors and sending them to tiddlywinks class if it meant those insufferable mouth breathers in Syracuse would feel an extra second of angst. I loathe them just that much... Agree 100%. Never forget. “Syracuse” meant “Syria,” and “basketball” meant “jihad.”

I don't disagree with you. But my point is that you're not going to get a lot of gun owners onboard with a partial ban unless there is some assurance that it's not the first step in a much bigger effort to ban all guns - which is exactly what many liberal democrats would use it as. Governing is about compromise; hence my suggestion of a compromise amendment. Are we talking about gun owners or the NRA? Because that sounds like an NRA talking point meant to scare gun owners. It doesn't really seem to be based in fact though. No state is more liberal than California, yet there's no ban on all guns there. If I'm looking at this with a clear mind why should I believe this is a first step? It's estimated that only 22% of the population are gun owners. And out of that 22% the top 3% own half of the guns in the US. Liberal Dems aren't a monolithic group same as Conservative R's. There are Liberal Dems in that 22% and there are Conservative R's that are not. fortune.com/2016/09/19/us-gun-ownership/ I'm taking a significant portion of gun control advocates at their word, like The New Republic today and many others (including hoya9797). If they really don't want to ban all guns, then what's the objection to my proposal?

The Second Amendment clearly states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". That's what the Second Amendment says, but it doesn't clearly state anything. It can be read lots of ways. So let's have a discussion and agree on what a majority of Americans want it mean and adopt an amendment that does clearly state that meaning.
