who can take over a game for us or make a key play for us at any particular time, and we have every right to be optimistic going into the tournament:
1) Scoop - he can dominate a game for periods with his senior leadership, i.e. at a big moment in a game, he can penetrate and dish or score, or hit a needed three. He is having a huge year.
2) Fab - yes Fab. He can be absolutely dominate at times with his D. When he is determined, i.e. Seton Hall and Herb Pope, he is a game-changer. He has lost his mojo a little lately but it will be back.
3) CJ - seems to be able to find a way to grab a rebound, hit a put-back, or make free throws when we most need him to. How many times has he pulled down a key rebound, made a key put back or hit a short mid-range jumper in the lane when we've most needed it. Very few of his plays stand out all that much, yet he still does them night after night.
4) KJ - like last night, KJ can pull down a huge rebound, isolate, or hit a big three when needed. I am very encouraged with his rebounding and inside game as of late. Has been looking a little like Otis Hill with his footwork and duck-unders lately and I'm liking it.
5) Dion - while he hasn't shown it lately, he has the ability to change a game with his D, hustle, penetration, and sheer will to make plays.
BT has shown the capability to hit threes or make a short jumper at key times. Not so much lately, but he has the ability.
The fact that we have 5 or 6 guys that have this ability is our greatest strength this year, and is reason for me to be very excited going into the tournament.
