Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 2006228, member: 405"] It occurs to me that our big transfers came from programs without much of a winning tradition. It seems like we have good players, but we don't have guys who know how to make a basket when it really matters. We don't have guys who are winners, and traditionally that's what we try to recruit - kids from programs that are always competing for state championships and AAU glory. It seems to me that a couple of our go-to guys don't quite get what is expected of them. This is very tough to watch us losing by 13 points to a bad, bad St. John's team. I mean, just look at them! They are freaking TINY. They have no size at all. I do not understand why we are not just pounding the ball inside and using our size against them. We're trying to make too many tough passes in the paint when guys are already close enough to shoot, and early in the game - for the first 12-14 minutes, we relied way too much on the three. [/QUOTE]
