Which is exactly what GMAC is building -- a good defense. Siena was Top 15 in the country last year in points allowed. They held Duke to 72 in the Tournament. (SU allowed Duke to score103 folks). Even St. Johns, with one of the best defenisve coaches out there in HOFamer Rick Pitino allowed Duke to score more. In fact, if St. Johns could have held Duke to 72 - they would have won and advanced.

That pointed out, you're spot on Scotch. Dual is SU's best player right now - according to Evan Miya -- and Dual was better offensively ly than every single SU player other than Kingz and George. It's fair to say that Dual is also a stud athlete and that is kind of theme that GMAC is taking to heart as he builds his roster. GMAC wants athletic, switchable defenders, he wants some shooters as well.

GMAC is doing a really solid job building a roster smartly - he's been charged to do more with less NIL than most top tier teams have to spend. SU's plan revolves around getting the right players - not marquee names, but guys who can be part of a culture built on Effort and Respect. GMAC will assemble this roster and try to teach them to win -- which is something he's done his whole life.
