Will have to turn into LMU back in the day when Westhead coached and play run and gun since SU's D is going to be horrid. Haha...I hear ya re: pace but those teams had a couple of monsters. Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers (RIP). Kimble was the 8th pick in the Draft and Gathers might’ve been #1 overall had he not collapsed on the court. I actually didn’t know that both guys were teammates in H.S. in Philly and both transferred from USC to LMU. I remember Gathers as like a Zion but at LMU. Also, you tend to build players up in your head as time passes - so maybe not that good.

New starting lineup Joe Buddy Benny Cole Jesse This is a lineup that’s epically soft. We will win games when we shoot well. But unless Q comes back and Jesse can stay out of foul trouble and truly man the middle we may struggle. It’ll be interesting to see how well Cole Swider can rebound in the zone. We're at the point where we know Q isn't coming back. I'm just not sure how we attack on offense - lining the floor with shooters isn't a bad thing per se, but it presents some issues against team with a lot of athletes that can defend. Even just having athletes on the other team is going to give us fits at times. At least we used to have guys like Kadary and Q that could feast against mid-majors, I'm not even sure we have that any more. We're bigger, but otherwise much the same as most of them.
