Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 229659, member: 225"] OK, but if that's true, isn't the opposite true as well? When your junior guard plays well, doesn't it also take pressure off of Scoop? CJ was impeded by illness, period. Not by Scoop. Not by KJ. Rak only played 3 minutes, so their perfromance didn't impact him at all. We have three solid guards. If one of them is having a bad night, it doesn't hurt us too much. If two are tanking...like vs Cincy... then we are going to struggle. Both Scoop and Brandon struggled and neither one's struggles can be blamed on the other. Both simply had bad nights. Besides, as far as pressure goes, these guys are playing for the #2 team in the country. Two of the guys you referenced are starters. One of them is an upper-classman. They should be expected to carry their own weight at this point. We should not be blaming their performance on their teammates. [/QUOTE]
