Igor Milicic 3 point shooting

Igor is kind of in the Santi category this year...the games where he's been hit with fouls early and played less we've seen him kind of vanish.

vs Florida 3 fouls and 18 minutes, only took 3 shots
vs Auburn 4 fouls and 16 minutes, took 5 shots and scored 7 but just 2 rebounds

Ideally the Igor we got against Texas is what we need to make a run I think.

Played 31 minutes, took 10 shots and ended up with 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals and also 0 turnovers.

Forget shooting. Can we just have defense and rebounding Milicic back?

I don't know what can be done with Igor. I don't want him to drive to the basket because he doesn't handle the ball very well and usually loses the ballot misses the layup. I would rather have him shoot the threes, rebound, and play defense. He can only go right off the dribbled fakes too many shots when he is open. If he is open for the three from th corner or at the top of the key, he should take the shot. Faking the shot does not fool the defense and they slough off to cover the lane. He can be a real asset if he becomes aggressive. We need him to be aggressive. By the way, I was impressed have Barnes coached the game yesterday. He knew he had an oppo4tunity to win the game early and he freely substituted his players. Most everyone played some minutes and the starters got a lot of rest.
We should be ready to play well tomorrow.

I just want him active on boards and the defensive end. I have given up on him carrying a big offensive load. The problem is that last night he looked timid on both ends.

He's been pretty bad across 9 games for a month, now. 6.8 ppg, 4 rpg, 32.3% 3-pt%, 38.6% FG%...all well below his seasonal averages prior to the swoon. His defense is abysmal. He's committed 26 fouls in that span, as well. The past three games in particular, 10 fouls in 54 minutes.

He seems to be a great teammate. Unfortunately, he is not quick and is not a good finisher. He will get in there and rebound. Please have a good game against UCLA.
