Good points about Rak's touches and and our problems feeding him. The light probably "went on" for him last year. But we've been struggling to feed the post because of our guard play. Watch how many times in a game Rak or McCullough seals his man and doesn't get fed. Good teams are going to figure this out -- they're going to pack the inside and take their chances with our sub-30% outside shooting. It's so bad that, even if Rak forces a few shots, I'd rather have him miss and have CM try for a put-back, than watch our backcourt and SF's clanking outside jumpers.

This will impair the inside-outside balance I was so excited about this year with production at the 4 and 5. We've gone 3-4 years without inside scoring, and now that we finally have it, our guards can't hit the side of a barn. We're only 5 games in. But we have some tough OOC games coming up. Our feeders and shooters need to improve in a hurry to give us any shot in these early games, let alone a decent conference record and an NCAA bid.
