The main depth they need right now is at point guard. I don't see Caver playing effectively for potentially 120+ minutes over 3 consecutive days which would be even worse if ODU falls outside of the top 4.

We'd probably have to lose 4/6 of the rest of our games to fall outside of the top 4.

Caver is a stud, I'm not worried, he just played 40 minutes again last game.

Trey Freeman played too much and one could make an argument it's a reason why we lost the title game. Our best player had no more juice

It's one thing to play 40 minutes. It is yet another to be effective at both ends of the floor for 40 minutes, much less doing it 3 days in a row. I realize that Jeff has backed himself into a corner here by not having an adequate backup at the point this season and it has caused Caver to play every minute. Just pointing out that it may become a problem next month if ODU is fortunate enough to make it to the conference final. If I was the other coach I would exploit that by making Caver work hard on defense in that 3rd game when ODU was in the man-to-man (which is most of the time).

Ignoring that it could have just been an off game, freeman worked a lot harder on offense than Caver does. Freeman really worked to be the primary option and to
Run off screens. Caver mainly stands around the 3 point line unless he has ball. Addtionally, Freeman dominated three games in a row in cusa tourney then did it again in the postseason tourney.

Don't get me started with the standing around. It's not just Caver. I think that's what leads to the scoring slumps. We seem to do better with a weave or inside-out passes than passing around the three point line.

Totally agree. I often times compare our offense to others and it just seems most other offenses are far more active. We seem to just pass it around the perimeter and everybody stands and watches. Personally I love the Marshall offense of drive and dish or lay it up.
The weave is also fun to watch.
