The problem is that we don't have an automatic bucket getter to go to in order to stop the other team's run. Needless to say... if this team had Jesse we would be a lock for the tournament because they could dump it to him to get an easy look. Getting easy looks consistently is the #1 problem for this team... with rebounding being problem 1A and Jesse goes a long way to solving both.

Against Pitt JJ had his midrange going so well... it was almost an easy/automatic bucket for him. Against inferior teams Mintz driving and getting fouled is basically an automatic bucket. Against inferior teams... Q getting the ball and doing something crazy with it to get an assist or a bucket or a foul is a pretty good bet. The problem is all of this falls apart when we play a good team because we can't just rely on superior athleticism.

I love what Autry and team has done... I'm basically back to making a Cuse game appointment viewing (as long as the other team doesn't have a number in front of their name). But I remain disappointed in the lack of creativity and structure on offense to get easy shots. It's gotten a bit better since the beginning of the season, but when the bottom falls out this team reverts to playground ball because they don't seem to have any  go to sets beyond the weave.
