Tons of talent. They are deep and can play inside or outside.


If this year's team still had a true rim protector like Bediako then they'd have the pieces to at least make a run at it but without him we struggle and will continue to struggle defensively on the back end against teams that have an inside presence.

With Bediako this team would have had just enough defense to maybe have won one of these last two games against Purdue and Creighton. Without him, we have to be almost perfect on offense to beat really good teams

I do have to say the officials have been ridiculous. You can't breathe on Lurch Edey without getting a whistle while he parks in the lane and elbows you in the mouth. Even the announcers on TV were pointing out the touch fouls.

Basketball is terrible for the home team getting all the calls. Creighton was 21-29 at the line..Bama 8-13. Come on. Doug Shows and crew were the MVP's for the home team in a 3 point game.

Now Bama goes to Arizona, probably another close L with more home cooking.

They could be better defensively and these games will pay off later in the year, but this looks like an NIT year unfortunately. Close losses and moral victories do not get you in the NCAA's
