Chris Hines is currently enjoying a successful season at Drake in the Missouri Valley Conference. He's the second-leading scorer for a team that just upset #17 Creighton on Wednesday. In that game, he had a modest 5 points, but he's averaging 9.6 on the year.
Moreover, it appears his game has become much more balanced. Last year, he led the team in field goal attempts, but was last in shooting percentage (among players with a meaningful number of attempts). But so far this year, his shooting percentage is up (39.8%, compared to 33% last year). Moreover, he's taking fewer shots (one shot every 3.5 minutes, compared to one shot per 3.07 minutes last year) while keeping his scoring average the exact same (9.6 ppg). There was a lot of pressure on him last year to lead a young team; I presume he's found a better role for himself at Drake.
So best of luck to Chris. He's a good guy, and provided some good memories for Ute fans over the years -- including the dagger against Stanford for the 58-57 win last season.
