The strength of this year's team...

[StCuse315]

is the fact that we have 4 guys that can take over a game offensively. Lydon, Battle, Gillon, White. It's hard to put a successful gameplan together defensively to stop more than 2 of those 4.

I know Robey hasn't done much the last couple games but this is why I've been screaming for him to start over TT despite a few good offensive games from Thompson. We have 4 scorers now and there is only 1 ball... defense and rebounding is our limiting factor not offense.

Its kind of like how Kapita got 0 minutes for NCSU last loss... they have plenty of scoring but the worst D in the ACC yet he didn't get a minute on the court.

Having a number of scorers is one of or best assets right now. Personally, I would like to see Battle taking more opportunities to go to the rack.

Robey is the x-factor. 10 boards and 8 mop up points go a long way. Like the way CJ was Soph and junior year. Completely different guys, of course, just saying we seem to do well with a roamer.

Unfortunately I didn't see the same level of Robey energy the last couple games... I've been wondering for awhile when he'd (rightfully) get fed up with being the whipping boy so I hope it isn't that since most say he's basically bipolar effort wise but I really had rarely seen a lack of energy the games i've watched. He's almost always looked like the energizer bunny so I don't know if I'm wearing Robey colored glasses or what... but he didn't stick out at all the last couple and I watch him more than anyone.

I can't wait to see it against Duke. You know he's got it it in him.

Not me. I like the way the "rotation" is now. Robey coming off the bench works.

Battle went to the rack with restless abandon against UVA, especially in the second half.
