tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This is 2 games in a row now where he's had a killer instinct about him on offense. Last night he showed up in a tremendous way on the defensive glass. I'm starting to think he might be coming into form finally. Last three games, he's averaging 14.3 PPG and 7.7 RPG. We need just a little bit more from him, but last night was certainly a step in the positive direction. edit: had to fix the RPG number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisnumber1 2,819 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I certainly hope so. He's needed a fire lit under him all season. Bout time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got to watch the first portion of the second half so I didn't have a sense of how the foul issue was going. Good to see no one fouled out. With Wiley being out that is huge.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Like everyone else has said Chuma is the key for us. If he plays great with the aggressiveness down low, even when Wiley comes back, then we'll go far. Him and Wiley together in the low post will be a nightmare for teams and I hope that the's turned the corner and seen that he has to be "The Man". With Brown averaging 16 points per game, Harper averaging around 15, and Chuma raising his to 12-15 points per game as well (with the rebounds) and I believe that we can turn the season around once Wiley gets back. My hope is that everything clicks and we start peaking at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcivE09 582 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I do not follow AU basketball to the same extent I do football, but listening to Rod last night they kept talking about the same thing - Chuma needs to be the guy. Honestly, this hardly seems to be the problem. We are night and day on the road vs at home. Also, the sky is blue. Mizzou - much like SC - is someone we should absolutely beat at home and you would figure could beat on the road too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,125 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Purifoy seems to look better and better each game as well. I think we will be just fine once the SEC tourney starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player comes to a point in his career, will I be good or become great? This is his time to step up. For a moment I thought to myself, is Cole really sir Charles 😂?

fredst 9,064 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I’ll pat myself on the back for being on the Chuma bandwagon since last year. Hope he continues to play to his considerable talent/potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,410 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Chuma played lights out The first half vs the bams then didn’t get the stats on n the second half. Still played well but even the rebounds fell off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
