Champ
- Thread starter lawmanfan

Like Andrew & JF, I feel for Champ as it's painful to watch him out there and I'm sure it's a whole lot more painful for him right now. Lots of sensible theories as to what is causing his struggles (being guarded by smaller quicker guys, no outside threat to divert attention, lingering effect from off season injury, confidence taken a hit etc.) and possible it's a combination of all of them. Seems like a great kid and hope he comes out stronger on the other end even if may be too late to salvage our season.
There is a difference between being honky-dory and looking actively depressed out there.SJU61982 post=454575 said:
All us here who are crazy enough to spend time posting about a college bball team, have most likely played the sport at one level or another. Like any group collaboration, one negative/pessimistic/etc individual can have an impact on the energy/outlook of others. When that one individual is your best player/supposed Leader.... thats not a good look,
Is he struggling- obviously. Could he still exude excitement (however hard that may be) / encourage others / clap it up etc.... Of Course.
That sequence at the end of the first half.... a Wusu bounce pass when Champ was expecting a Lob, leading to the Posh foul.... Wusu and Champ were having it out with each other for about 30 seconds. Would have liked to have seen either of them take ownership of the mistake and move on. This that sequence was a small microcosm of the overall issue of this team just not being on the same page more often than not.
Maybe the cure for his shooting hiccups is to get his FT shooting fixed first. He should be out there with the whole team getting that part of the game fixed. I don’t think running a full practice should run, just work on the broken parts.
It's odd.
Had that monster game vs. DePaul (34 pt / 16 reb), then went to Providence and went 0-8 from 3. Then onto Uconn he went 4-9 from 3, then just dropped again.
That Providence 0-8 from 3 pt range seems like the earliest inflection point.
Here's the game log for season.

Some talk that this may be related to lengthy after effects of Covid.

Clearly Wheeler and Champ had some kind of freaky Friday thing.
Still have Champ, Wheeler has to play better

I'm not supporting or denying, just that I know Covid has had some sneaky re-occurring effects with people and I wouldn't rule it out. I just hope whatever it is ends soon. He is such a solid citizen representing our school, has played his butt off for us, and is much much better than he has shown recently.Mug Costanza post=454829 said:

For his sake I hope you are right. I know of some people that nearly 2 years after Covid have serious lingering after effects.jsk68/73 post=454862 said:
