We had a great offense through the Marquette game, and then two things happened: 1) McNeeley returned, and played a lot more hero ball than he had been playing prior to his injury, and 2) Diarra got hurt.

Hurley has to fix the way McNeeley is playing.  McNeeley is a GREAT player, so we need him to play within the offense rather than ISO ball.  He is not quite as good an ISO player as he thinks he is, but he could be, and was, a scoring machine within our set offense.

Diarra's injury is pretty much devastating.  Diarra looks like hell.  It makes my knees hurt watching him play.  He is at 60-70% at best and the only reason he plays at all is Hurley thinks we have no alternatives.  The thing is, our offense does not work without a point guard, so play Mahaney and Nowell 25 minutes and Diarra 15.  The offense can't be any worse than it is now, and we need to rest Diarra to have any prayer of winning a game in the NCAA tournament.
