I scanned through the box scores yesterday, and the closest I could find to a triple double (other than Gordons 11, 9, 8 performance), was Emmenecker from Drake and he had OT to help. Ironically he also was shooting like crap and was 0-10 from the field (scored 11 points on 11-12 from the line). I guess Mason was close from Texas as well he had 9, 7, 9)
almost getting a triple double is great. but his horrible shooting cancels out much of what he did on the boards and assists.
his god awful decision to drive the lane and throw up wild *** layup attempts cancels a lot of the good that he did. he didnt even draw iron on a few of those drives.
he did a lot of good last night, and also did a lot of damage.
how bout that posesion where he drove it in, got blocked so badly he fell down, oregon pushed it in transition, and they nailed a wide open shot from deep. where was gordon?...still getting back.
bad bad bad decisions over and over again.
those last two free throws of his were just ******.
he plays extreme basketball. its either extremely brilliant where he is dropping deep 3s, driving and finishing with an and one, and hitting the open man. or it is extremely horrible where he is charging into defenders picking up fouls, forcing up wild shots with no chance of making em, and forgoing a pass to the open man in favor of forcing the issue on a drive to the paint.</p>
