[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 691687, member: 2299"] Yeah, he struggled against one of the best defensive teams in the country. That happens. Even the best players have down nights. Otherwise he had 3 20 point games and an efficient 12 point 4 assist game in a return from injury. Also, using a game where a guy scores 22 points on 70% shooting and has 7 assists as an argument for the down in an up and down is silly. The 8 turnovers is bad but come on. They don't tell the whole story either. No, he's not going to give us 20 points literally every game, but if that is what you are expecting then that is where the issue is. He's a sophomore, and not one that is dominant physically. Pretty much all the top scorers in the ACC have games where they aren't on. Some make up for it just by chucking and getting their 15+ on 35% shooting. Mike isn't like that though. He isn't going to just force shots up when he isn't hitting them usually. It sounds like you expect him to be a guy who gives us 20+ points every single night which is a an issue with expectation. Almost nobody does that. Earlier in the year during his stretch he still had the Arkansas 4-16 game, and he was also playing every other game against Elon and BCU. What changed is he's going against ACC teams every game so he'll have games where his shot isn't falling and he's not able to be as effective. Also, Jose has his games where he struggles as well. Pitt, UL, ND the first time. [/QUOTE]
