The fact of the matter is that we're hinging on an offense under Groce that has never been above 47th in KenPom (47th was his first year here with Weber players, no other year, including at Ohio, was better than 90th) to suddenly improve, for Groce to stop being stubborn, for Groce to make staff changes, etc, etc. when the reality is that most of those things, if not all, are all unlikely.
This isn't a bad argument, especially since it has some facts to back it up. The reply is simple: until last month, Groce hasn't had a serviceable point guard. Now he does, and we've got a pretty good inside-out thing going. I join in the criticism that he should have brought Lucas along quicker (not to mention that it's on Groce for not obtaining a point guard sooner), but the immediate future looks reasonably bright with regard to point guard play. I'm optimistic about our offense going forward.
And for a little perspective, how about our previous coach and repeated possessions of 33 seconds of passing it around the perimeter and then someone launching a desperation shot? Anybody remember Penn State 38-33?
