Dear God, look at that stat line. Look, it’s no Max Hooper who just refused to shoot a 2. But this is Gohlke-esque, a man whose name I said I would never utter again in my life. But then you throw in all of this:

Yeah, that’ll do. Get to stay in college at some absurd place, be a guy who only comes in to launch threes? Outside of wearing number 99 it’s a pretty good life. I stand by the fact that it looks stupid on the basketball court to wear a number like this. But now we get a week to hear about him because High Point is back in the NCAA Tournament:

We’re all desperate for Cinderella. We got robbed of that last year and while it seems like a heavy top-5 this year, give us a mid-major in the Sweet 16. Give us some mayhem early. That’s all we want. This is where we need Chase Johnston. Trust me, I’ve lived playing against a guy like this. I got Gohlke’d. We made Gohlke a legend this time of the year. You’re telling me some 4 seed isn’t going to be shocked when this guy refuses to step inside the 3-point line?…
