It ain't a slump if he's been making them in practice like we've been led to believe. It's called azz puckering up a bit too much when the bright lights come on.

It sounds like he's really inside his own head at this point during games. I saw Stiles tweet this last night which caught my attention.

Speraw said Oglesby in 2 practices before Purdue game had shot a combined 13-of-17 from 3 (6-of-7 one practice, 7-of-10 the other).

I think it's time Fran sends him to a hypnotist. I'm not kidding.

If he shot like that in games we would be leading the big 10 and ranked in the top 15.

Not if Marble had anything to say about it.

"We'll just stick with him" Not what I wanted to hear.

Take a deep breath, talk to Bob and turn on your radio.

Not in good enough shape and he is a little flabby for a college d-1 player--he does not have his legs after running for 20 secs to get open and for those who haven't played the game, that is where your shot comes from-he has to decide if he wants to commit to be a b-10 player. Obviously the commitment was not there prior to this season.

Any chance we can Devin Bawinkle to wear a O-fersthree jersey on teh court and pretend to be a basketball player?

Excellent idea!!! It now is OK also to talk about, and verbalize... the slump... which means that he will... will himself (and sub consciously come out of a "slump")

JO simply thru some miracle of practice.. practice.. i mean what is practice (Allen Iverson screeching voice) continues to practice...

making every 3 pointer... some in and out and in again .. some and more dead bottom swishes... repeatedly.

Win at home PSU 3 are good..

The frustrating thing for me is that he has stopped shooting. He is never going to get out of this slump if he keeps passing up these wide open looks by making head fakes, driving to the hoop, only to pass the ball back out.

He does pass up open shots and also there are times when he is in his spots, open and doesn't receive the ball. His ballhandling and passing are his saving graces along with his D which is good.....

Patience is required with Josh. When he finally breaks out of his slump, things will improve for the team in general......
