Gaffney struggled again today. If this team is going to make a run in March - we are going to need Hawkins to emerge. Along with Cole and Martin they seem to be the only players that can take their guy off the dribble and make a play
Diggins needs playing time going forward.Gaffney struggled again today. If this team is going to make a run in March - we are going to need Hawkins to emerge. Along with Cole and Martin they seem to be the only players that can take their guy off the dribble and make a play
Too much burden is being placed on him.No one on the team even came back to help. No one even looked to see if Cole needed help
Gaffney is a midmajor player at best. Hes in over his head against high level teams. He is who he is. Diggins needs to grow up quick fast because Cole cannot carry the load himself all season. Hawkins is a score not a ball handler who i trust to make the right pass. Sure Diggins is also a frosh but hes a pg.Gaffney struggled again today.

I'm not going to say Hawkins or Diggins should be playing over Gaffney. I completely trust DH and staff to know his team and who should play. I'm just surprised we haven't recruited and developed a player that can give us more than Gaff gave us in this tournament. Gaff has been around a while. He should be a reliable option. He's a junior. He's always hovered around being a starter. But he layed an egg in this tournament.Gaffney struggled again today.

Regarding the ball-handling: Is there any chance of rethinking the Corey Floyd red-shirt?
I read somewhere that Geno runs an 8-on-5 drill in practice. I feel like something like that would simulate multiple double teams and the havoc defense we saw today. Hurley should take a page out of his book.Team needs to do better in handling double teams. There were numerous times where the team practically ran away from the ball during a double team situation either on Cole or Sanogo. No worries. I'm sure we'll be working on getting that fixed before the next game.
Martin needs to stop doing fade aways or weak shots with his left hand. Go strong to the hoops as you are beast to handle. He should be living at the foul line.Gaffney struggled again today.

gotta get him for big east battle. we have skilled freshman, play them!At the very least you would think Diggins would be needed against teams that press.

Coach's fault. Had 2 games to fix that.Too much burden is being placed on him.
He was left out on an island so much in this game and this tournament.
Not anymore. That chorus has died.Yet somehow after next game there will be a hoard of yarders swearing Cole shouldn’t start
