What is our offensive identity? All i see is one guy dribbling until the shot clock gets to 10 and then chucks it up
I believe that with the Big Ben be vastly improved the NIT is precisley where we are going. We are the same team as last year and our two recruits that we added (I am not counting Mbawe or White) have both been virtually invisible in this tournament. We simply do not have the offense or rebounding to compete in the improved Big Ten this year. We have been dominated on the boards by two undersized teams. Watching the game today you saw Bryan Davis for A&M dominate the glass and come up with every big rebound and be a low post force that wins the game for them. It is early yet but we know these players and there limitations. Having Hoffbarber out there for 20 minutes in the first half you saw exactly why he is a tenth man or at best a ninth man on a good team. He simply lacks the foot speed to play with tournament teams guards. He has a high basketball IQ but his athleticism is what limits him. We were a team that struggled offensively last year and our two recruits have not looked like they are ready to make a big difference.
