Message: [QUOTE="jibsey, post: 5159586, member: 859"] During this injury stretch and I hope it’s one game but fear more, our guards are going to have to pick up the slack. Call me crazy but I saw a spark from Mahaney the other day. 16 minutes he drove to the basket aggressively and scored 7 points but had 4 assists. That is quite good. 4 fouls guarding them but as a team they nearly tripled us at the line. I believe he’s starting to understand the intensity required to play in this conference. We will have to live with the defense but it should improve. He missed all of his 3 point attempts but don’t expect that to continue. Hass and Mahaney will have to do more in scoring, but Hurley believes that his experience will be vital in an NCAA run and he is building toward that which is why Nowell is unlikely to take his minutes. Big picture. [/QUOTE]
