I thought the offensive foul was a reach... hard to blame him on that one...

He could guard like Trier did.
About 10 foot cushion

Aykot needs to step up. He's the Dutch boy with the finger in the dike.

By step up, I mean guard the perimeter, and protect the ball on offense and not try to score.

Trier needs to show what he's made of at the point.

It's the only path forward because PJC has six floor minutes left maximum.

Worried about a Azubuike situation with Akot in a close game this season, it's going to happen.

We require this type of condition to initiate a decent D. And then ...well, the outcome is uncertain.

No. Not single-handedly..............but he is contributing.

Our guards are seriously getting their ass kicked. I have a feeling our 2nd round NCAA game is going to look a lot like this.

Correct, and blame is on Miller.

Remember all the recruiting hyp? Randolph and Akot would be starting...abarcello would be PG by the tournament.

He does have the only points on the 2nd team, but he did miss those 2 FTs, got to hit the freebies

We can say this for every possession, every game, all season. But for some reason we don't do it.

I don't think miller was saying that.

Not really sure why people thought that.
Not really how Miller coaches

I agree but I like his energy on the floor and he's a pretty good defender.
