If you watch how this team broke down late in EACH AND EVERY game down the stretch, you're telling me a SENIOR point guard who can at the very minimum run the offense reasonably well, and actually can be a playmaker in the paint as well, and also hit the occasional huge three (like a game winner against the #8 team in the country) wouldn't have been the difference in probably at least 5 of these 9 losses? I struggle to believe otherwise actually, it's quite apparent that lack of guard play completely broke this squad, as lack of execution in the late minutes of a game is usually a blatant sign of insufficient guard play.
And again, I don't care whose fault it is, I'm just saying, that's what is going on right now. Al Nolen's injury was the final straw, as losing Devoe was passable as long as we still had our two senior guards. Even Cobbs would have helped a ton. But unfortunately, we'll be better next year, but we'll probably still see some late game lapses as the guards will still be quite young, unless whoever our JUCO guard that supposedly comes in can be a steadying influence and get the ball in the right places (in the paint) next season.
