Until Jimmy finds a way for this team to have an "inside game", we will struggle mightily against tough m2m defenses. SC wasn't that good, we made em look good. It was absolutely embarrassing the disparity of points in the paint vs. SC. We run the same stale half-court offense that is predictable to defend. Yes, we have a plethora of outside shooters, and we'll be fine against the cupcakes, but we are void a low-post game. Again.  I'm still waiting for Roberson to catch the ball in the post and make a legit move to the basket, besides taking a dribble away from the hoop and taking a long jumper. DC/Chukwu are zeroes on offense and Chukwu, especially, is a liability on defense.  I've never seen someone 7'2" so out-of-position, going for ball-fakes, and committing silly fouls, while rarely ever blocking/altering a shot. Please transfer! I'd rather see TT play over these guys, any day -- at least he is more aggressive. Lydon is finally connecting from the outside, and will be fine, but unfortunately he has no true post presence either.  For a team with tremendous height, what the heck do they do in practice, besides setting picks, cuz it sure isn't working on their low-post game... and that's gotta fall on coaching. DC and TR have had 4 years and still don't have one. 
@Wisc is a tough game, regardless, for any team, but I'd at least like to see some offensive adjustments, knowing they will be just as aggressive on defense as SC.
