Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 3357124, member: 837"] Yeah, defense is a team thing. We were great two years ago and returned many of the same players the following year, but the combination of Frank's injuries, Chuckwu's inconsistency, Sidibe's injuries and a heavy dose of Hughes led to more mediocre defense. Then we had the two young(ish) guys up top, pretty much only Sidibe in the middle, a frosh playing big minutes, Hughes and foul trouble this past season and it got ugly. Don't know that we'll be good defensively, necessarily, but we should clear the glass better (which would help a ton) and a more experienced combo of buddy/Girard can't hurt and replacing Hughes with Guerrier/Braswell should at least make us a bit longer/more physical. You never know but my hope is we can make some gains here even with much of the same personnel. [/QUOTE]
