This team is close to being a fairly good team this year. It could happen before the season is out. But we aren't there yet. We need to plug some holes in some weak areas. Shields is a good coach, and I expect we will improve, but I don't know if we...

This team lags considerably behind opponents in blocks and steals. May be indicative of what our defensive problem is.

One area where we are weak this year is in blocks and steals. Our opponents have significantly more in each of those than we do.

Better start keeping up with Northwestern. May be one of the outstanding stories of the season in college basketball.

I have been hugely impressed with the shooting of this team this year. There are some definite weak points, and so far I cannot say this team is any better than average, but they definitely can shoot.
