Re #4: I also don't get it.  I didn't have much hope for high rebounding numbers (a few would be nice), and I think he's getting a little excessive criticism on his defense, which actually hasn't been that bad lately - he was actually marking the high-scoring freshman for Tulane, and held him in check pretty well.  He even got back to grab a couple of blocks underneath to prevent layups.

But that shooting is unfathomable.  He's got a good smooth stroke, and his shot is usually right on line, but it's been just enough long or short for misses.  This has to be a confidence thing, and something the coaches need to sit down and address with him.  They've got Carlton beginning to look like a reasonable center, had a solid game today.  Hopefully Polley is the next project. This team would look better if the stretch four actually stretched the floor.

Now, I'm not kidding myself that they are world beaters.  But I do think both are better than they've shown.  Carlton is improving, we need to see that from Polley.
