Double double for Vanover last night. It was close for a half… and then! ORU is starting to get some looks for Top 25 votes.
Issac McBride was solid last night too… great shooting night for both Little Rock guys! Connor made a couple of baby hooks we were all hoping to see when he was in a Hog uni, as well as knocking down his 3’s. The one he missed spun out.
I’m glad he’s doing well. I really am. Seems like a good young man. But he really wasn’t close to the kind of SEC player Muss wants. Couldn’t defend, and was really pushed around a lot. He’s just not a big-boy league player.
I was at the game. Connor still gets pushed around a lot and his defense is not up to SEC standards. But his baby hooks and 3 point shooting are very good.
ORU has a good record but their competition is not the best. They have no quad 1 wins and the defense in the Summit League is not very good. However, Abmas and McBride could get them a win or two in the tournament.
Good to see those guys having success.
soooo glad to hear this, for Connor and his mom and his grandmom. great family.

Maybe if he had been able to shoot consistently at Arkansas, he would still have been able to get minutes and contribute? He started a bit and was given opportunities, but bless his heart, it seemed he lost confidence. Glad to see him doing well.
I promise I will not keep doing this, but here is the box score from last Saturday night:
Connor had another double double: 23 pts, 10 boards and 4 blocks. Most game minutes of his career.
BTW, in case you didn’t notice, his double double (20&10) the game before was in 24 minutes. Didn’t shoot it as well this game, but was a major factor in the win since Abmas was struggling a bit.
