Men's Basketball - Halfway Home
Through 16 games, we are exactly where I thought we'd be, 8-8, 2-2 in the CAA. I do not anticipate us winning more than 8 more games the rest of the year. The question is out there: Is that good enough for you?
Starters
G Joe Dukes - For being a Preseason second-team All-CAA, he really started slow. 13.5ppg 5.4 rebounds per. His scoring and rebounding are up from 2008-09 but assists are down.
G Trae Goldston - Sharp shooter who also started slowly but has been the best shooter on our team. 12.6ppg which is up from 2008-09 and both FG% and 3pt FG% is up as well.
G Marques Johnson - Really not sure about him. Not much of a scoring threat and handles the ball well but I need a scoring threat from a starting player. 2.2ppg 2.2assists per. Not enough. Period.
F Xavier Hansbro 8.4ppg 4.2 rebounds per. Improvements in both categories from last year. I believe he has adequately replaced Rashad Chase.
F Trey Hampton 6.8ppg 5.3 rebounds per, 1.5 bpg (9th in CAA). Improvements in every category and is a solid scoring threat in the post. All we can ask for at this point.
Bench Production - 18.5 ppg - James Fields and Jihad Ali are starting to show flashes of defensive and offensive ability, respectively and Ous gives us every ounce every time out. Not much else past those 3.
Next 5 Games - Home vs. Northeastern, @ G Mason, Home vs. VCU & UNC-W and @ Delaware. I see 1 win there folks.
Bracketbuster - It looks like if the Bracketbuster was announced today, we'd likely have a home date with Winthrop.
Looking towards 09-10: We will be very young (up to 3 freshman and 2 sophmores in the 8 man rotation). If we can have Ali, Fields and Vincent take steps to becoming better that will certainly help. Two Seniors on the Roster in Johnson and Curry don't have me hopeful for much leadership. I really hope we can get another impact big man for the spring signing period (begins April 14th).
