Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4319639, member: 722"] Since we can reasonably expect the trio of Mintz, Edwards and Girard to average 45-50, having Williams as a 4th option scoring 10 means we only need everybody else to average 10-15 combined to net our long term average of 70-75... Then the defense determines how much we win. The nightmare comes from having only 65 points a night because nobody but Girard and Edwards can score. EDIT: The example that comes to mind is '17-'18 when Battle scored 19, backed up by Brissett and Howard at 14 each, but our next best was Dolezaj and Chukwu at 5, with Matt Moyer coming in at 3. That team was our poster child for good defense trying to make up for terrible offense. Also, they invented the unique Syracuse triple team, where Chukwu essentially became another defender to get in Howard's way out past the three point line. [/QUOTE]
