I am always optimistic - it got me thru the down years of the 70's, and even the bad Albeck years - hopefully we'll see the light soon!

Tramique's game is a high scoring one
Hill 42 - Hutch 33 with 5 min left in 1st halfComment

Hill lost a squeaker by one point to Hutchinson
Tramique again is the star - 23 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals
those opponents he's facing - Hutchinson (12-1), Coffeyville (9-3), Navarro (7-5), Moberly Area (12-2), Kilgore (11-0 and ranked #3 Nationally),
Panola (was 7-2 again top opponents when they played), and McClennan (currently 15-0!) - are all top jucos...and top competition,
so Tramique is not doing this against cupcakes...Last edited by tornado; 12-15-2013, 11:03 AM.Comment

he can't do it all by himself……but he can't get here soon enoughComment

Tramique shoots 43% from 3-pt range - way better than anyone we currently have - but.....
he only attempts about 1 3-pt shot per game. It reallly isn't how he gets his points because as primary ballhandler - he always has a strong defender on him and in his face...so he selects his shots carefully and doesn't take that many from deep.
We still need some shooters (***)...I made the point elsewhere about how Wisconsin has built a really good team out of individual pieces that are not all that impressive...
One of their philosophy is getting good outside shooters...
Two of their primary guys shoot 44% or better and seven of their top eight players (in playing time) shoot better than the national average in 3-pt shooting. Plus their only player who does not shoot 34.5% or better is Nigel Hayes, and he's never even attempted a single one - so the guys who can't shoot well don't, and all the rest will kill you.
So, again, you cannot recruit kids who are poor shooters or who average 8 ppg in high school or juco and expect them to move up to the D-I level and shine as scorers!
*** we have attempted 245 3-pt shots thus far, and all but 37 of them (85% of them) have been taken by players whose 3-pt shooting is 31% or worse!Comment

I would want my point guard to rack up assists but be able to shoot to keep the defense honest in case they give him open shots. I would not want him to be my leading scorer. Part of the problem we have on this team now. That is why there is no flow on offenseComment

More good news on Tramique...here's his stat line from late Saturday...
7-13, 1-2 from 3-pt, 25 points, 7 rebs, 9 assists, 5 steals!!
Hill College is 16-3 with Tramique among the national leaders in almost every category...
.. now averaging 20.2 ppg (25th nationally), 52.2% from the field, 43.5% from 3-pt (top 50), 84% from the FT line (top 40, but 2nd nationally among players who attempt 6 or more FT/gm), 7.2 rpg (top 100), 8.1 apg (3rd nationally), 3 steals/gm (8th nationally), and a 3.5:1 assist to turnover ratio (5th nationally among PG's with 4 or more assists)Comment

I want to get excited because Tramique is exactly what we need, a starting PG. It's hard to though knowing the latest history of our recruiting and how players turned out. Boy we could use Tramique right now..Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

I think this is one of our real bright spots - the potential to have a really good PG and how he can score as well and distribute but we have to have some shooters and scorers to go with him..
