Shu getting drilled...wofford doesn't even touch the rim on their 3s... and we can't touch the net on ours.

Unless the nova guys come in ready to roll, I think the BE struggles again next March...hope I'm wrong.

If the Friars bring in 2 players to fit the puzzle we should be pretty good. A penetrating point guard and a shooter changes the equation. I also think we will run when we can. I believe the way we played this year was out of necessity in an attempt to win. This years team did not have enough pieces to the puzzle. In reality I do not think we are that far away. I guess we will know in a few months.

I think Duke played the point for the future and out of necessity. Reeves got hurt and was poor on defense. I do not think we had the pieces to fit the puzzle. Would you be happy with the status quo. I think we all want to win. I believe this piece with help a bit. I also think we could use another shooter, although I believe Duke and Reeves will be very good players for the Friars before their careers are over. Most freshman have difficulty adjusting to college unless they are one and done. We shall see. Go Friars.

I think we're in a tough spot but if cooley's going to recruit a shooter he better play the best guys and not cater to David Duke. Most were begging for the mal Duke backcourt. I'm not even sure Duke deserves to start over Malik and pipkins without major improvement.

Most freshman have difficulty adjusting to college unless they are one and done. We shall see. Go Friars. Good addition. I think we need a shooter as well. For those who saw Duke in Prep school, was he an adequate outside shooter? I think Pipkin's game may remind Ed of Cartwright. Will score more in the lane than outside and is a tough competitor. He made some big plays down the stretch against us this year feeding teammates. But not sure how creative a PG he is espcially at 5'8". Hopefully he is healthy. Good thing is as a grad transfer it is only a stopgap move.

Johnnypc makes some great points here and let’s keep in mind both DD and Reeves were both Freshmen, with Reeves getting hurt. He was lighting it up early on, making Freshman of the week more than once.
“The best thing about freshmen is that they become Sophomores” - Ed Cooley.
Now, let’s get a shooter - a hard nosed one - someone like Struss who is immediately available. Tough get for sure but not impossible...

How about some defenders?

How about some defenders? Not in my Top 3 priorities altho you hope the offensive players you bring in can defend. We were at or near the top of the BE in defensive prowess.

Anyone watching Creighton tryinggetting back into a game that they led in first half and were shut down for first five minutes of second half? Saw very little ncaa tournament this past weekend due to pressing family commitments.
