His shooting issues, which I believe to be 100% mental with him, were exposed long before the A&M game.


SEC teams learned pretty quickly to not play in his face at the top of the key so they played off him, much like they would against any bad shooting PG, and tried to stop his driving ability. I thought JJ tried to play him in the post, and when he did he dominated, but BS wanted to play on the perimeter.

I think it's maybe a bit of a stretch to say he dominated, I watched every minute of every game that year. They actually played him in the post quite a bit. And he did have some success there...not sure I'd characterize it as dominating though.
