Last 3 games he's averaging 5.3 rebounds and 4 fouls. I don't see the Ags beating UH without him being his old Dennis Rodman self.
I'd bank on Andy providing great rebounding more than the Ags shooting 60% lolbobinator said:
I dunno, if we shoot 60% from 3 again we might be okay
I'll take itjeremy said:
Why not both!? Shoot 60% and Andy cleans up the rest!?

We absolutely need Andy to do Andy things vs UH. I did
wonder if him only getting 10 mins yesterday was because Buzz felt like we didn't need him to win,
Or is he a little dinged up or sick.
Manny's emergence is the reason why Wade is playing out of his mind. I mean, other than Wade being a bada**. It helps to get more room and better looks and not have to create every shot.bobinator said:
It's crazy because Manny's emergence is obviously the big story, but Wade is playing out of his mind these last few games and is WAY more efficient than normal and it feels like people aren't fully appreciating it. By KenPom's ORating the Nebraska game was second only to the away Ole Miss game for his best game of the season.
I really think Manny's emerging has allowed Wade to do WAY more off the ball since it can be 2 other players on the ball instead of Wade having to run the show every possesion.bobinator said:

Oh no doubt they're related, but I feel like people are sleeping a bit on just how good Wade has been.
Like the whole country is (rightfully, obviously) losing its mind over that Oakland guy that went 10/20 from 3,
Wade went 7/10 from 3 yesterday, one shy of our school record for threes, and he did it in a first round NCAA Tournament game.
Admittedly I am a huge Wade fan and have spent a significant amount of time on here defending him from some critiques, so I want people to recognize what he's doing right now.

Oh there's no question Manny is the headline, I said that and I want that to be clear that I agree with that. It's absolutely remarkable and it's changed the ceiling for this team.
But Wade's been so good for so long on the per game stats that I don't think most people are realizing how efficient he's been these last few games. Truly elite elite stuff.
Add in Boots playing some good ball and it's a little annoying we didn't find it earlier and avoid playing maybe the best team in the country in the second round. But better late than never.
