Why no criticism of Malik today? Our team has shot the ball really well with the exception of Malik. 3-15. That's the difference. If he shoots 33 percent, we win.

If everyone is being honest, is Malik not one of the biggest disappointments ever as a state fan? He's not even the best freshman on the team. I'm not hating on the guy but it's just so State it hurts.

He is the best freshman on the team. You're nuts if you actually believe that Q, the same guy I've seen foul multiple 3 point attempts, get called for more than one travel today alone, and averaging less points than Malik, is better than Malik. Q gets the benefit of a lot smaller sample size and a whole lot less expectations.

Freshman are allowed to have off games. Malik had a bad game today. Seniors aren't allowed the same luxury. Sword and Fred can't graduate fast enough. IJ can't transfer fast enough.

This team is an dumpster fire, and the only 2 people to fault are Stricklin and Ray. Any blame placed outside of those two is misplaced.

You realize he is averaging almost 5 points more than Weatherspoon. Now yes he has not lived up to the hype. But Weatherspoon, who I love as a player, is not better.

Newman is playing about 30% more minutes per game than Q. Makes sense he's averaging more. Plus coming off the bench isn't easy to rack up buckets when you're out there with Zappardo, FThomas, etc.


If you just watched one our games, especially if Q starts, you would have no idea which of the two was more highly recruited out of HS. Keep in mind, Q started at 4 today. He's played that position two days in his life and lead us in points. That's pretty impressive.

If I had to pick btw the 2 there is no doubt I'm taking Q. He's just a player. Think about the fact that it's even a debate and it's pretty em state.
