Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4192605, member: 504"] I consider someone who is a threat to go for 20 plus every game and is the focus of a defense drawing attention away from the other guys a big missing piece from this team. But he’s not there. I was responding to the idea we don’t recruit shooters. Polley, who predates Hurley is supposedly a shooter. Hawkins supposedly a shooter. Bouknight was not a fabulous shooter, more of a scorer, but could get crazy hot from deep. I don’t mind Martin shooting the 3, ditto Cole. Not recruits out of hs, but they are on the roster false that we don’t recruit shooters. The kids we have have been erratic. And yes the interior D has been pretty poor. But Villanova ain’t half bad and Gillespie , no superior athlete, is a superior basketball player. If your great athlete isn’t also a superior basketball player who do you want on your team? Hawkins for Creighton abused our D. Half our problem is guys leaving their feet, we are shot blocking crazy which I wouldn’t totally give up, but lots of going for up fakes. And guards who aren’t keeping the ball from finding the low post guy. On the other hand, you’d think we were constantly being run off the floor. Villanova was our biggest margin of loss, built in a very short stretch where we were rushed out of our minds on both ends of the floor. And I think Hurley did call at least one time out to try and settle things down. It’s true we beat a few good teams that were missing a key player but I think, don’t remember, we lost at least one with Sanogo out. [/QUOTE]
