Rowe has improved a lot from where he was. Playing pretty solid defense.

The biggest thing Rowe can do to help us win is his defense on Bassey. It's not like we need Rowe to put up career highs in points, rebounds and/or blocks. Just get in there and play defense so that WKU doesn't get basket after basket in the paint

home game vs WKU: we made a last second 3 but still lost by 3 points
- they got 40 of their of their 66 points in the paint
- Bassey had a double double at the half and finished with 17 rebounds
- we shot 5-12 from the free throw line

road game vs WKU (pod play game that we lost by 5 points)
- we were up 44-39 at the 17:19 2nd half point but then went cold as WKU went on a 22-8 run the next 7 minutes to take a 61-52 lead
- they got 12 offensive rebounds
- we got foul happy which allowed WKU to shoot 13-18 from the FT line

We didn't get blown out in either contest and had the opportunity to win both had we played just a little better.

It's SUNWACUSA. Not like you need the '84 Celtics to win a couple of games.

No but depth certainly doesn't hurt when you are playing games every day.

They know their roles and it is best if they dont try to do more than that. Holland is a really good shooter and a smart player. Rowe is tall. He actually has a good shot for a guy his size. He just isn't very athletic.

Rowe is tall.

Thanks for the info!

Rowe is the typical tall, athletically limited white dude who has trouble on defense. There is a use for them, but usually off the bench.

Georgia won 3 tourney games and a title in two days with a 4-12 squad. Round ball through round ring more than the other guys. Certainly doable for a bunch of midpackers in conference #15.
