I said after the GSU win that we couldn't count on Eaves making 8 threes every game. I was right, he only made 6 last night.

And last season those 5 D1 wins came against only 3 teams as we beat Citadel and Samford twice. It is incredible how far they have come in year one under Fox.T-Dog wrote:We already have more D1 wins this season than last season. Considering we lost pretty much all of our scoring minus Spag, each win is like a mini miracle.

On a more serious note, your message is correct and clear. One of these nights, the ball isn't going to fall in the net for Eaves and SOMEONE ELSE will have to step up and score some major points.
Maybe it'll be Babic. The kid is busting his butt all over the court for 20+ minutes a game...dishing out assists, defending the opponent's best shooter and getting stops, acting as a coach on the floor and generally pleasing Fox with his efforts. He just can't buy a basket. His attempts rim out left and right, hit the back iron and bounce six feet straight up or wedge between rim and backboard.. I don't remember the last time he got a shot to fall. It may have been last month. He's obviously made the Ewoks who live in HCC angry. He needs to make peace with them so the lid on the basket goes away when he gets a touch.
