I saw last night a basketball team with enough pieces to make a run at the Big Sky championship.
But this team is still out of synch and not playing to its potential!
Granted, there were encouraging signs:
* more movement on offense
* team played hard for 40 minutes
* more players made contributions
* our half-court defense was pretty solid
However, watching BYU run its offense it was easy to see how much better we could be if we could manage to use all the weapons at our disposal, and to have the right players in the right places on the floor.
* We have no secondary break that I can see.
* Our 3-point shooters are apparently on vacation.
* Our bigs it seems don't know how to dunk a basketball.
If Coach O'Brien can manage to get our bigs to become more aggressive down on the block and also spread the floor more in order to get our 3-point shooters going, the Bengals would be a dangerous team.
So close, so close... and yet so far!
