We're constantly critiquing KP, who suffers from having followed a legend. In contrast, Coach Smith of LSJU MBB seems to do no wrong by this board, maybe because he was lucky to follow an anti-legend, Haase, who led the worst era of LSJU MBB in ~ 40 years!
Yet MBB (14-7) and WBB (15-7) are quite similar in W/L record, both having a pair of wins over ranked teams, and four losses by single digits. Per ESPN, MBB and WBB are also fairly similar in most stats. W BB scores ~ 70 ppg compared to 75 for MBB, and has more rebounds per game (41.5 to 35.6 for MBB) but more turnovers than MBB (15.1 vs 11.2 - maybe due to many more freshmen minutes?). Assists and steals are pretty much equal.
WBB shooting is slightly better overall (43.4 % vs. 42.3 for MBB) and better on FTs (79.3% to 72% for MBB [Rohosy?]; a bit worse on threes (30% vs. 34% for MBB)
MBB is blessed with Okorie, a transcendent/"generational" backcourt talent the likes of which we haven't seen since Brevin Knight-Candace Wiggins-Kate Starbird. WBB doesn't have that but the roster has some solid upperclass players, and freshmen who could become great players. But in the meantime, hey, Kyle is a genius, and KP is no better than any of us would be!
