huh

Probably referring to Shaq's comments about players whose last name end in 'vich' are always awesome shooters.

Yes. Nice performance (against our J/V squad).

Dude, that's crazy. Most every good 3 point shooter in college ball shoots 75% from 3 without defense and just shooting around.

I'd take that bet any day of the week.....

I'll second that bet, he has had several other games where he caught fire, he had 9 three pointers against Florida Atlantic and then he had 7 in the first half of the next game. Keep watching him, he has some off nights where he only hits 3 or 4 but UT isn't going to be the only team he torches, he has worked hard on his game and I'd be willing to bet that if he was warmed up in a gym and had 15 shots he might just hit em all, he's that good.

There are a TON of college players who can hit 75% from 3 when just shooting around in a gym.

I play with a guy at the YMCA who can do it pretty easily. The only reason they don't do it in games is defense and fatigue. Having to work to get the open shot and often shoot quickly is why you see guys do well to shoot 40% from 3.

There are centers in the NBA who could do that all day long.....

Meeks is in the best shape of his life, heck, the whole team is because he pushes them so hard, he runs them through a full practice before the games. People laughed at some of the bad losses UK had but you can see the payoff. Meeks is only going to get better.
You want to see a team that is out of shape? Check out Notre Dame, they are sucking wind early in the second half every time. that's why they got smoked in overtime against Louisville the other day, I am amazed they made it to overtime.
