Cameron Mills Practice Report - 11/7/24

Definitely need to rebound better.
Yeah, but…
just looking at our offensive rebounds are 7 less than our opponents is too simplistic. We have made 50-60% of our shots, they have only made 30-40% of their shots. That means they have had many more chances for offensive rebounds. So it is better to look at what % of offensive rebound opportunities have you gotten one, vs the same for your opponent.

That said, given the quality of our opponents so far, we should have crushed them on the boards.

In one of the interviews (pre-Bucknell conference maybe), Pope talked about both raw rebound numbers and rebounding % numbers, and he eluded to targets for each of those.
 
Mills is definitely improving. Also looks like he’s dropped some pounds so kudos to him on that front as well.

Also is it just me or does the new Memorial facility look amazing. Loved the old one but looks like they did an excellent job renovating it.

I've been in the new Memorial several times now and it's beautiful. But, concessions cost way more now. Same in Rupp, paid $9 for a Coke last game. Think I'll stick with water from now on as that's ridiculous for a lousy Coke. But, Memorial is gorgeous!

It wasnt nearly as bad as it was last time which tells me either someone close told him or he read the internet making fun of him
He use to read the boards. I can't speak for now. But when the DVD of the 96 team came out that he was a big part of, he was reading here then.

I got to meet Cameron last weekend at Joseph Beth book store, his wife has a new children's book out and she's a cutie pie sweetheart.
I met him in Ashland after they won the title when they toured the state.
Really nice guy. The person making fun of his weight is BS. Might be a medical issue. Notice the poster didn't post a pic of there self.
 
Man some chumps in this thread. The man represented this University with class and loves the school still and some self righteous people wanna make fun of a medical issue.

I really wasn't trying to make fun of him especially if it's a medical issue. I just find myself watching his finger's when he talks about UK basketball. The guy is UK through and through and helped us bring that 98 title home and watch him every time he puts any morsel of UK info out.
