The big question for the remaining games is how we are going to replace Will’s scoring and rebounding. Because Josh is a good-rebounding guard, it would not surprise me to see him play the 3 some when the other team’s match-up allows it, or when we are playing zone. We would gain scoring and a little rebounding, but lose a lot on defense without Leroy. As for rebounding, Gus and James are just going to have to get it done, and the need for help on the boards should allow Stetson to get a little more PT than usual. Will was a good rebounder, but not a dominant rebounder, so replacing his boards would not ordinarily be a big task, except that this was not an outstanding rebounding team to start with.

I'm not sure rebounding is our largest problem. I believe taking and making three point shots, especially against teams like Troy, determine whether we win or lose. If we take enough and make enough, we win. Otherwise we lose. I'll amend this to say, when we do miss a three, it will help to get the rebound and get another possession.
