I think there are too high expectations for one, I work with a UVA alum who has a couple of SU friends that pounded him about how good Girard is, If you asked JB in August would he be running point for 30+ minutes a game, regardless of Careys injury the answer is no, Gurrier needs to start instead of Sidibe, if you are gonna have a big touch the ball from 20ft out it has to be Marek, might as well play Edwards, he will get destroyed physically but maybe it will instill just how strong he needs to be to succeed and it gives us 5 more fouls at the position, and he does have some offensive skill. They may take their lumps now, but this is the type of team we need to get back too, players who stick around and develop.
It is hard to watch after all these years, but I stay optimistic that we beat Iowa and keep moving forward.
