I went to the regional in 2010 thinking we had a good chance, with RJ stepping in full time.  AO and RJ had split time in the post -- in a number of games, RJ had matched AO.  Kris Joseph could step into the starting forward spot.    If RJ could stay out of a foul trouble, that front line of Wes, Kris and RJ could play with anyone.  
 
It didn't turn out that way  because Butler's guards were good, it had two good big guys,  Butler played tough defense on Andy & Wes, and RJ did not come up big.   When RJ got into some foul trouble -- Riley was simply not ready.    Even so, we were up 4 with a couple of minutes to go and let it slip away.
 
The drop off from Fab to his back-ups is bigger than the drop off from AO to Rick.   We don't have Wes as the go-to guy.   But with two centers, we have 10 fouls to give in that spot, Rak has loads of potential, and we have guys like BT and James who are overdue for a big game.     I am still planning on a trip to Boston.
