AB had a bad shooting game. The dude is still shooting mid 40's percentage wise.

When there are 3 guys in the lane sagging off of you, you pass and get wide open 3's. I can assure you we won't miss that many wide open 3's again. When Hornsby gets back and people continue to sag...watch out.

People are not grasping the difference Victor and Hornsby will make. It's 2 starters...95% of teams would have more of s drop off than we've even had with 2 starters out. And oh yea, we lost in OT and on a last second shot. Very close to 5-0

I agree that Hornsby gives us another outside shooter, so that we can play the hot hand. Victor will give us the down low presence that Simmons can drop off to.

I also think Ben is wanting to establish his teammates rather than be a one on five. He will be more assertive as the season progresses.

You can't compare what a player does against McNeese and South Alabama to what they do against a major opponent in a high profile tournament in New York.

In the two tournament games, Blakeney was 3 for 17 from three. That is dismal no way around it. Except for Quarterman the rest of the team wasn't much better. The fact is that we have been missing those wide open threes and until we start making them then we will lose games.
