Offensively I don't think we improve unless our existing players improve.

Even if we land Watford...I see Watford replacing Davenports numbers and Wiseman not quite reaching Martins numbers and I will give DJ and Malcom the same production as Parks, Thorton and Brewton with the same minutes.

We will still be short offensively...The team next year will need to improve greatly on the defensive end of the floor to be effective.

I am not saying we will not be a better team...But I don't think we improve offensively unless existing players improve their efficiency and turnovers.

Why do we need to improve offensively next year? We average more points than any team in our league now. What we need is improvement on the defense and we will get it with better bigs to block shots and rebound. I feel confident we will make it to the Big Dance next year with a decent seed - then anything is possible.

Currently tied for 27th with Georgetown for points per game by team.

Number of points you score is not the best measure of how good your offense is...Since we get more possessions because we play faster we score more points.

Number of points per possession is a better measure

Kind of reminds me before the USF game when Penny was saying pre-game he wasn't worried about our offense. Our offense is good and we score a lot of points. 10 minutes later it was 27 to 1.

That's just taking a shot to take a shot at the coach. That was a crazy, never before seen, aberration. Has nothing to do with anything - other than soft seniors.
