Nice story badger.....

 

this seasons team is more fun than any of the previous 10 or so iterations. Doc is quite a coach IMO. Taking the smallest starting lineup as he has and coaching them to competitivness has made the season exciting. These kids have played BIG while being small.

 

Closing out games has been tough, especially the lack of boards in the 4th has really hurt, given up some good leads. havent really had much confidence in NU's BB program for a long time, but Doc has changed that, give him Diaz and Nieman next year and watch some of the boards we miss this year go our way.

 

We will miss ADE, what a player he's been. Bear jones has some game, and lets hope a few of the new gents can develop the same toughness as some of this years squad, they really are gamers, deserving of fan respect.

We will make some noise next year. Niemann, Diaz will help the low post game. McCray is going to be a big asset next year, he is starting to put the pieces together now. He could end up on an all big 12 team, he is that good.

 

Bear is a pure scorer...if we had him this year, our offense wouldn't be so terrible. He can create his own shots and drain them.

 

Starting 5 next year would preferably look like this:

 

Cookie, Bear, McCray, Diaz and Niemann.

 

then with the backups of richardson, anderson, standhardinger, sek, ubel, gallegos, edwards, possibly anthony harris, we should have a solid rotation.

 

Wish Joaquim didn't have to go JUCO route either...
