For all the Neo struggles it sure was nice to have him be able to play 4 -- hokiepro Jan 23, 2026 at 08:29 AM ET

I'll take anyone's struggles who is averaging close to 14 ppg and 5 apg -- GCHokie34 Jan 23, 2026 at 01:30 PM ET

Yes. I tend to agree but just pointing out having a 6’9” -- hokiepro Jan 23, 2026 at 04:51 PM ET

Very much agree... -- GCHokie34 Jan 23, 2026 at 05:02 PM ET

He is very, very good at getting to the hoop. Would love to see that more.** -- jms41 Jan 23, 2026 at 05:38 PM ET

Just about all of his missed shots the other night were short. -- IB4TECH Jan 23, 2026 at 02:19 PM ET

Looks like he's got the yips right now to me. Tentative on most shots.** -- marcbvtgm Jan 23, 2026 at 04:38 PM ET

marcbvtgm • 01/23/26 04:38 PM ET

Yep, it's all mental. He can really hit them if he's focused. Right now, he -- IB4TECH Jan 23, 2026 at 06:00 PM ET

Whats frustrating to me is not even the shooting percentage -- NOVAHokie08 Jan 23, 2026 at 02:04 PM ET

NOVAHokie08 • 01/23/26 02:04 PM ET

Settling for 3s is probably my biggest frustration with him -- NC Hoke Jan 23, 2026 at 03:23 PM ET

I 100% agree -- GCHokie34 Jan 23, 2026 at 02:16 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 01/23/26 02:16 PM ET

FWIW, shooting 5% better only means 1 more make per game... -- GCHokie34 Jan 23, 2026 at 01:40 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 01/23/26 01:40 PM ET

Is it possible with slower than expected development that it might take him -- HoakieCup Jan 23, 2026 at 06:14 PM ET

No -- GCHokie34 Jan 23, 2026 at 06:30 PM ET

Thanks for your reply.** -- HoakieCup Jan 23, 2026 at 06:34 PM ET

I would have to go back and watch... -- NOVAHokie08 Jan 23, 2026 at 10:02 AM ET

It couldn’t have been too bad because it was during the stretch we -- hokiepro Jan 23, 2026 at 11:46 AM ET

hokiepro • 01/23/26 11:46 AM ET

He certainly did. I think the Syracuse guy White got both lobs against Neo.** -- KiloZulu Jan 23, 2026 at 11:44 AM ET
