I wish our bench could score. Concerns me.  That was our weakness last yr 

 

I feel like our bench is night and day from last year. Martinez has had some good numbers, he's just been quiet the last couple of games. Jones is still getting back into rhythm and testing his knee so I know he will come through. Stone, Sissoko, and Moore can chip a few in and we are looking good. The only thing I'm actually worried about is the FT shooting. We can take a lot of pressure off if we can hit our FT early.

Kind of sad their basketball team goes by "The Beach." Not nearly as fun as their baseball team's name, the "Dirtbags." Anyways, glad Huntsberry had a good game. Couldn't watch it due to Flo. Hopefully we can pull out a finals win against UNC-W and improve to 5-1. The guys in green are heating up.

Must be fun to just have a baseball team!

Yup. Perry, Jones, Abu, 4 and 10 plus I believe a few bench guys can fill up the bucket.  (Not sleeping on Scott, but anything he adds offensively is icing on the cake, talk about a lock down defender.  I can’t remember the last time I saw an on ball defender block a jump shot)

I think Scott could really fill the void that Bell left behind. He has the size, defense and tenacity. This year he has added offense to go with it too.

Bell had a remarkable "it" factor that I don't see very often.  This intangible gift to make plays at key times, in Bell's case it was often a defensive play/need.

Those are massive shoes to fill and, honestly, I don't think that is quite Aaron's role.

But your saying there's a chance????

Absolutely, be a catch and shoot 3 guy on kick outs, and attack the rim on offensive rebounds after he collects them.  His defense and defensive rebounding speak for themselves.
