I think we need Hickey to score for us to win the SEC Tournament. But he needs to take good shots. Last night he didn't have many opportunities to take shots and he didn't force things. That is good, but he needs to be able to get shots off.


More good opportunities will come when they other guys get going with increased opportunities. No-one else was getting anything done when Hickey and Stringer were spitting 25+ shots. I don't see any reason why Hickey should take more than 8 shots a game unless he has already made 7 of them... even then I question it.

I think that Hammink and even Stringer will start to improve with the increased opportunities. ADP too if they throw to him on the low post a few times like last night.

This team has really improved over the course of the season. They really need a raucous crowd to lift them Saturday. I believe the NCAA Tournament is even still in sight.

I agree. Much of the offense last night was run for Carmouche, especially when JOB wasn't playing well/foul trouble. So Hickey's role was to move the ball around to give him that opportunity, or give the extra pass to get A&M defense to commit and give a different player a look at a shot.

I thought he did well at that, especially when A&M went to the trap on him. He always beat that trap leaving his 2 defenders behind, so 2 less defenders on anyone else for a little while. He creates opportunities that way as well, not sure if people give him credit for that type of thing.

However, he is a catalyst for the team when he goes on a spree.
Likewise when he makes ridiculous steals.
