Crews has said several times that Milik is learning how to be a good basketball player. Learning how to play. Every team needs a scorer. Someone who wants to shoot the ball. I think he will be a star.

I would assume that Crews tells Millik that you either protect the ball or your going to sit. I do agree he sat much longer then others who screw up.[Ash] I think in Crews mind it is more important to get his point across then pull out all stops to win the game. Maybe this will play out in future years but I think we need to try to win more now. Winning also helps player development.

Mike is not afraid to shoot. Teams have to leave him open to shoot the 3. I do like his baseline drives but he can't do that if the opposing center stays at home. I actually thought Mike had a bad game for the first 30 minutes but more than made up for it at the end.

A couple of comments to Taj. Since Tom T no longer keeps plus -minus I can't confirm this but I think we played better and made up ground when McBroom was in the game. I also love Milik's full court rushes. I think this is a great asset and he does it pretty well.

I would estimate he's been to about a quarter of the games. Mostly early.

I think he is very good at avoiding contact on his drives to the basket.

As I stated in a different post Crawford got immediately pulled for not going after a defensive rebound the other night. He looks to me like a player who doesn't like a lot of contact. {who does?]

There was also a play in the first half when Crawford gave up a rebound with poor postion and was immediately pulled. I'm sure they are told if you don't block out you are going to be pulled.

I want him playing 33 minutes a game.

I don't agree. Every team needs a lights out shooter,every team needs a monster on the boards. Can these 2 be those guys? who knows. A good team is all about filling roles. It's the sum of the roles that makes a good team.

Reggie can be our Dennis Rodman. Rebound,give it up,run the floor.

Unless your Miles R. He doesn't get that call anymore.

No.

With all respect to Crews I don't believe he's cunning enough to recruit Jason thru MY. Maybe he allows MY to push it because it's a good play for our team.

I think it is a great asset to be able to rebound and push tha ball down the court. Now Reggie---thats another story.

Gillmann's shot is always flat.

At this stage I'm not sure that class was better.

He's the best bebounder on the team.

You are correct but I still think my point is correct. Very few open looks.

Last night pointed out our offensive problems. We need to shoot more 3's but have no inside game besides Milik. We only had eight attempts. Any decently prepared team will limit our attempts because our lack of post play. I would like to see us try to play more pressure defense and maybe get more fast breaks to help scoring.

Watching the Mo. Ky. Game. Kentucky just ran our inbounds play. Just as effective as ours.

Actually this is one of the most experienced Kentucky teams in years. Yes I know thats not saying much.

I think that was his issue with Charter Flights. He had a rule that everyone with the University was to fly commercial.

I think we take this what you can say about a recruit to extremes. I have relatives in Louisville Kentucky and thats all the newspaper there does. They talk about who is recruiting who and what Pitino or Cal says about that recruit. I think a lot of the silence is a SLU cop out,not fear of the NCAA.

I think you are overstating Tucci's influence.
