And 3-0 on the road when he is the leading scorer, including today and at Nwestern (Mulcahy led against Purdue with 16, but Cam played well 6-8 from the floor including the dagger 3).
7-1 when Spencer is our leading score, 10-9 when he is not

And that's no coincidence.
Need Cam's offense. Hopefully we see more great to average games. Average games still ok. The ice cold games are going to be tough to overcome
Yes - nothing earth shattering but I didn't expect it to be 7-1 vs 10-9. If Cam plays well we can play with just about anybody IMO.
I said he would be key against Wisconsin and find good looks, because they are slowest team in Big 10. That's precisely what happened.
I certainly hope he does average those sort of points down stretch, but a 17+ average (more like 20) should be directed at Cliff, not Cam.
no...if you are scoring 17 points per game and playing 80% of minutes and we have 63 possessions you are asking him to score .34 points per possessions. That is absurd.
Our record is even better when Aiden plays vs when he doesnt
What's the point of that analysis?
We are much better off if Cam scores 17-20 ppg over the last 4 games. That means he is making shots, making 3's.

Ok, yes, he needs to step it up and it all comes down to making his open shots. He is capable of going on a hot streak.
The problem lies if Cam gets iced or keyed on by opposing defense someone needs to step up offensively in a major way. I think a combo of Hyatt/Simpson can up with 17-25 pts that takes pressure off Cam and opens him up for late game opportunities when defenses have to help out on other players.
GO RU
GO RU
He can average 17 in a 5 game stretch, but asking for that from anyone over the course of a season…..
I still feel the key to our offensive success is not contingent on Cam. I think it is more about success running offensive sets and taking what the defense gives us. If that means Hyatt gets 18 good shots so be it. If it means feeding Cliff 22 times in the low post great. If it means Paul bullying his defender in to the lane GREAT.
I think the key to our offense is connectedness, evident by a high proportion of buckets being assisted. Our D is also based upon teh team working closely together, in rhythm, in sync, and thus disrupting the other team.
