I would say Bazz's foot injury, Omar's wrist injury, and Niels breaking his finger had far more to do with that. They lost 3 in a row, Bazz missed 2 of those games and was injured for the entire 2nd half and OT of the 3rd game, Omar could barely shoot in all 3, and Niels missed one game and the 2nd half of another.

Point conceded. I always had high hopes for Wolf and thought he had a chance to have a Jake Voskhul type season. Heck, Voskhul only averaged around 6 pts. and 6 rebounds in the Huskies title run, but he could defend his position and with his size was a legitimate shot blocker. Its not unreasonable to think Wolf had a shot at pulling off that type of a season in his senior year.

Our schedule also got tougher after Wolf went down. Of the ten BE games we played before Wolf went down, only four were against tournament teams. After his suspension, five of the eight games we played were against tournament teams, and as you said, the majority of them were played far from full strength.
 
Its been covered ad nauseum. I guess the fact were back on wolf means the season is close. Because I don't have the will power to not throw my two cents in, Wolf's most important contribution to our team was interior post defense which most overlook in the box score. I hope Brimah can fill those minutes, but its not lost on me that wolf certainly would have with offensive competency as a bonus. I think mike is on point.
