Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 2032833, member: 3376"] That Northeastern team also went on the road and beat Michigan State. They were a NCAA tourney team before Miller got hurt IMO. The Wagner loss was really bad, though. KO & the team should still be embarrassed by that. So did Tom Crean. Maybe it's just really hard to rebuild a program that's been slapped with sanctions? Last year's team did not have a point guard – Gibbs was a combo guard. The year before that, we didn't have a point guard – Boat was a combo guard. This year's team, until things clicked with Jalen in the first half of the Auburn game, didn't really have a point guard. And all three teams struggled/struggle rebounding against top talent. Ollie has addressed the point guard thing in a big way over the last 3 recruiting classes, and he's attempted to address the rebounding issue with Diarra (considered one of the best volume rebounders in his class), Durham (an elite recruit and potentially devastating out-of-area rebounder) and hopefully Carlton (classic big man). Recruiting poorly causes a lot of problems. Recruiting well fixes a lot of problems. [/QUOTE]
