[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1354559, member: 4716"] Unfortunately this is likely to be an 0-3 week. Don't hold much confidence in getting a victory against Md. but this team has the potential. Lack of experience and shooters willing to take and make shots in clutch time will be an Achilles heel. Thought like most interior defense might be the weakness but quickness and effort have made up for lack of size. What a huge heartbreaker for this team as they played hard all the way, but lack of offensive execution down the stretch proved fatal. Of course, NW did not do any better but hit a couple of big threes that proved the difference. Regardless, I really like this team and enjoy watching them play. Not as good at passing the ball as I expected but that can improve. Leron threw a couple of entries to Finke that should have never happened, but the guards can do better at getting it to the bigs more often and it will pay off. You have to play inside out in order to be effective in today's game. [/QUOTE]
