We're not going anywhere without him

3-8 from the field with 4 TOs versus Seton Hall.

His position was so much better versus SJ. Much closer to the rim. Saturday he got the ball further out. Had to back his man down and that led to both TOs and misses. There is a lesson here.

His being able to dominate is honestly the only way we have a chance to win an NC. We can potentially get to an Elite 8 without him being dominant, but any chance beyond that he needs to be what he was against StJ (which is what I hoped for the first game against StJ).

How would he look against Ngongna/Boozer, Mara/Johnson, Peat/Krivas?

He's gotta be locked in between the ears. Can he do that for 4-5 straight games?

That is the question - we will only go as far a he takes us. As we saw yesterday, he's a box of chocolates.

Might just be confirmation bias or something, but I felt like the St Johns game was one of the few in a long while where it was a clear priority to get him the ball in the post consistently. He wasn’t standing at the three point line as a screener nearly as much. We started going inside to him yesterday, but then kind of stopped and we became a jump shooting team again.

BTW-Appreciated Tarris deflecting Senior Day attention away from him and re-directing it towards AK on multiple occasions .Classy young man with a we-first attitude. High character teammate.
