DMW has to hit shots, or he is just a great defender. He has shown he can, phucken shoot DMW. Plummer is our go to shooter right now and will draw everyone

Plummer has played 19, while DMW and Kofi had 18 each. If this stays close for 40, that could be an issue.

We're missing our starting backcourt. Winning any game will be a challenge with most those guys out.
If we can't beat one of the worst teams in the country without Trent and AC then that's poor roster construction. I think we have the talent to put this team away easily even without those guys, just think that talent is playing way below potential right now.

Let's hope Underwood puts some fire under them in the locker room. Need to pick up the defense and limit the TO's in the second half.

Disagree strongly. Your starting guards in college ball are generally your most important players. And behind Belo and Trent, we have no one that is really that competent handling the ball. Plummer can be an explosive shooter, but he gets in trouble if he has to handle the ball much.

And we're missing Grandison also. That's 3 of our top 5 players out.

Injuries happen to every team, every season. It's a lame excuse against legitimate competition. It's no excuse against cupcakes whose highest rated recuit of all time is a 2-star per 247.

I mean, we are missing 3 out of 5 starters, including both of our primary ball-handlers. It's an ugly game and a bad situation to be in. Not a lot of teams can seamlessly make it through this level of adversity. We just gotta eke out this win and move on to the next one, hopefully with a guy or two back.
