Message: [QUOTE="Sphinx, post: 3367018, member: 4623"] We will succeed if our players of limited talent (which is all but two of them) play within themselves, and our players of out-sized talent -- Akok and Bouknight -- are developed gradually and intelligently. This will be mainly a function of coaching. We don't have the NBA-ready talent of our great teams, and we don't have the Kemba or Shabazz, of our Cinderella teams, but we have a deep ensemble of role players who can give us a strong winning season if their strengths can be channeled. We are a better team than anticipated, and based on recent results, our toughest tests ahead are not as tough as they once looked (Cincy, Villanova, Houston). Our ceiling has risen noticeably since the season began -- and is rising. [/QUOTE]
