Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 1615115, member: 906"] Not to write a long overstretched post, or to stretch to low possibilities. There was very likely chance McCullough was gone. DC, and Joseph not being ready offensively has forced a couple of freshmen to step up, and has led to some of our struggles. That has led us to the point where Gbinije, Cooney and 2 of our three freshmen had to step up. I give Roberson alot of credit last night. I had him pegged at 12-13 ppg this year. He was at 9, but really really brought it offensively against Clemson. He deserved a round of applause win or lose. Keep in mind Clemson was first in ACC in blocks because they have good interior defense. Roberson played tough at the rim and created his own shots for the first time this season. He had a decent outing first half against gtown as well. On the defensive end he played tougher then our center spot which is very hard to do in the zone, but he somehow managed that also. Let's hope he keeps it up, as it would really take some of the pressure off of Gbinije and Cooney in the longrun. Especially if Lydon finds the consistancy to join them. Of course giving up nearly 50% to opponents from the field in 4 losses this season hasn't helped either. Anyway, I think there is a good chance we beat both Clemson, Wisconsin, and possibly another 1-2 games had we had those three. Instead we have 6 losses. Anyone that wants to be hard on Hop needs to consider that he wasn't just put in a tough situation but a really tough one in very short notice. I am not going to judge his coaching on the last play of his coaching stint where he could have fouled up 3 with 15 left after Clemson made the three. I think he did a Good solid Job, tried to win, coached and has a clear mind for what he wants to run. I really look forward to him taking over in a few years. Cheer Up, Go Cuse BBall!! [/QUOTE]
