But only if he can learn to control the rock. Late in today's game he grabbed a rebound and when back up strong to draw a foul. It was so startling that Dean and Ed both said "that's how you do it" almost simultaneously. L.O.L. Bottom line he made a proper "basketball move" and got rewarded with a trip to the line. He must lack hand strength or maybe the game still move to fast for him.

The free throw shooting is just awful outside of Ryan S. It will always be a liability no matter how much better they become at other aspects of the game. It will haunt them like it did against Siena and again today. No wonder they can't win in OT, and get into so many OT games.

I think Taylor story is terrific. I hope he is on the team next year. But, if he is getting serious time again, then he is either gonna be a bigger story, or the team is putrid once again.

Parris is a defensive specialist, Goodwin, I'm not sure. If AV is gonna be around I hope they red shirt him like they did with Ryan Stilphen. It did Stilphen wonders as he was able to bulk up and work on skills.

Like you, I am willing to give RJ a lot of time. He has had a tough year emotionally when you take the Siena and Loyola games into account. I'm sure he felt like rolling up into a ball more than a few times this season.

I give them more credit than it sounds I do. We have all had tough moments standing alone and if the experience hasn't killed you, its made you stronger. The guys haven't jumped ship. They can still have a good moment or two before the season ends.

It would be nice if they got a better shot than Schneider hoisting with a few seconds to go every time they need a game winner. I'd rather see a Devezin drive for a layup or foul. It just seems that they never really get a good shot when they need it. The worst part is that they could have 6 or 7 wins right should. Should definitely have 5. I still can't believe they pissed that Siena game away.
