19 points and 11 rebounds, his first double double.
Cayo dominated

Cayo was a beast today....He comes about doing what the team needs him to do game in and game out!!! Congratulations!!!
82% from the line for the season (28 of 34). HUGE improvement from last year. This game will be a fantastic confidence booster for him, as he seemed a little less aggressive in the last several games.
Hmm. Recency bias?
Buck: 9.9/4.4/1.7
Cayo: 7.8/3.8/0.8
Cayo is surrounded by better players, too.
Not sure I’d say better, but he fills a bigger need for us being 6’7 and athletic
And play different positions on our roster. Cayo is a power forward, Buck is a guard. But yeah, interchangable, I guess.
I continue to say that we are a really good team when we aren't bubba chucking 3 pointers. Cayo dominated inside and then we made some more selective 3's off of that. It is not a coincidence that when we run our offense through the low post and make scoring inside a priority that we are a much better offense and have a much higher liklihood of winning.
97, completely agree. First in person game I have been able to see in awhile and was super impressed with our patience with Cayo and Grant working to get to the basket. Big change from past years.
I think we will be ok moving forward as long as Jabba gives Mooney the "talk" before each season.
Agreed. Apparently that’s not how basketball is played these days though. At least that’s what I’m told.
it was obvious from the first possession that RI was committed to stopping the 3s by not guarding Cayo outside the lane. It worked at first-but on the flip side, once we adjusted, it gave him the space to manuever into the lane, where he found his shots. Once that occurred, they needed to start guarding him more, that opened up the 3s more.
Love Nate. I would love Nate more if he shot his regular jump shots like he now shoots his FTs, without the hitch. The way they are (not) guarding him, he could simply stand there, not jump, and shoot the equivalent of a foul shot.
Yes, almost uncomfortable how open he is left from 10-18 feet. Great game though, really liked his energy and attitude all game. He showed a lot of persistence in the post and nice touch battling through contact. I was thinking the same thing kneepad, just shoot your Free Throw, guys were giving him five feet on the perimeter 
.
I was laughing talking to a guy at the game, we seemed to give Jermaine Harris just enough room to get his jumper off - good strategy as he was bricking.

I actually thought Nathan was too aggressive offensively. he forced a lot and didn't kick when it was there. but I can't complain with 50% from the floor.
why I thought it was his best game I can remember was the way he rebounded. and they were tough rebounds. I've complained that he doesn't get enough, but he sure did yesterday. that was a difference maker. great job. he was very active.

They were both on the 2017-2018 team, but didn't Cayo replace Buck in the starting lineup at PF 2018-2019?
Now saying Buck played PF, isn't saying he was a PF...
And saying Cayo is better as an overall player is a bit absurd...
I don't think I just made up that term but as a big AI fan, he was the king of the bubba chuck. AI could bubba chuck all he wanted to though because he had the game to back it up.
That popped into my head because that was his nick name when he was younger:

Yes. You are correct. It was his nickname. I knew I just didn't make it up but like a lot of stuff in my brain, lost the context. Francis has a bit of bubba chuck in him. But just don't need to have the whole team with that mindset as we sometimes fall victim too.
