There are many things that are troubling to me watching the team.   However, I'm giving them until Maryland at Barclays to get it together.  (I'll be at the game).  It may be that I'm so used to watching a Cuse Team that played a specific way for so long.  (Just for fun you all should check our Marrimack Warriors ==>They play the SU Zone.  and kept Rutgers in check for most of the game despite being a 20 point underdog).    However, one thing I am not liking is Chris B Bell's response to teammates who try to speak with him during the game.  I saw that 3-4 times in Brooklyn and where Taylor or Carlos wanted to encourage him/point out better positioning etc.  He turned and walked away with his hand out.  Should have been benched right there.  (My opinion)

Bell was our best player for the first 3 games (even with his poor shooting).  I think also that now its Lampkin, but I'm strongly encouraged by Freeman.  If he stops shooting 3pt early in the clock but drives and shoots a midrange with an opportunity for boards, he stays on the floor 30-32 minutes.  With his hight and rebounding he should be closer to the basket and open space for our 3 point shooters.  I feel he could average a double double  11 pts 10 reb for us this season.  He has the biggest upside and is the only one that has a spark that could take this team over the top.

We really are a "trudge" team.  We trudge along and score.   We came back in every game even though it looked grim.  (we also gave away 13 and 11 point leads quickly).

I wont address the point guard issue as Carlos has been beat up on this board already.  He has to settle down and play like we read about.   I do think that SU needs someone who settles the team better and drives the bus.  Right now Carlos does not have that presence on the court.   (I know, I said I would not address it but could not help myself)

GO CUSE
