We all expect Toledo will be "very good." I dont think that's what is being hoped for. As far as Preston making a difference, not so much. We were never in that game, Preston mostly played his healthy average. It was 58 pts out of their front court, 46 of which returns including one of the best big guys in the league. They also have Sears who as a Fr with nearly no experience replacing injured Preston caused us way more problems than he should have. As a final straw, even though we had fallen far behind, coach saw fit to call less than 30 minutes off the bench. And then recall they more than ran out of steam against another small-ball team in Richmond, coach having given front court bench a whopping 13 minutes. Writing on the wall Acunzo.

Bad habits don't die easy. Recall, it was a freak that he even considered changing the offense. Now he's stuck on it?

I'l say same I said earlier in the thread and early last season: coach needs to develop the bench even at the cost of conference losses. It's the tournament or bust. That means depth, variety of offense to keep the other team guessing and the ability to run the offense out of the post and post depth. I think last year's end of season tanks support what I said early last season and for next season.
