Was not having a big man that was consistent. When our guards aren't having a great game, we don't have a solid guy to go to in the paint. Ado just wasn't ready to be that guy yet. Hopefully that will change next season.

I'm not saying Ado will never be a good big man. I think he will improve a whole lot over time.

Also, I'm hopeing Perry will be a stud.

Our biggest problem continues to be youth. That will change next year.

If you doubt me, look at the # of experienced seniors on our last two extremely successful women's teams (unless you hate women, if so just look away).

I hate to be your momma, but you really need to take some kinda safe pill and get some sleep.

Sure, youth is a problem but a
we didn't have much of an inside presence on the consitant bases. I mean, every time we threw the ball to either Holman or Ado I felt like they were going bobble the ball, or get it ripped out of their hands. It just seemed like a weak point in the offense at times.

Help is coming....immediately.
Yes, it is possible for a freshman to be able to walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

Respectfully disagree. No, we didn't have any seniors out there last night BUT that Penn St team we played last night was mostly SOs. PSU starters were SO, SO, FR, JR, SR. And, they played without sophomore forward Mike Watkins, All-Big Ten Defensive Team and was an All-Conference honorable mention, their #3 scorer, who was injured before their conference tournament.

They had half a season of additional experience on us -- on average. Their most similar teams experience wise was Arizona, Kansas St, and Gonzaga. Yes -- they had a significant experience advantage even if you didn't see it in your quick glance. And more glaringly -- they didn't have a hole that we had at the 5 when Ado struggles/no backup that will likely/hopefully be cured next year.

In terms of actual experience, 5 teams with less than us went dancing. Kentucky, Duke, Bama, Cuse, and Texas. Auburn and Miami were the two with about a quarter season more than us that went. A bunch of one and done guys in that group that will keep those teams inexperienced in general. Had we been dancing -- we would have been in elite company given the overall experience level of this bunch.
