The complete lack of confidence by Roach and Osetkowski was startling. Box score only shows 3 TO's by DO, but someone must have hedged the numbers, because he had four in a row in a key stretch of the game. When it's the two seniors who are the better players on the team and have no confidence, then you've got to look in the coach's direction.
Sims, Hayes and Coleman did ok last night, but VCU got offensive rebounds every time that Sims and Hayes went for a block. I like the way Hepa on offense is always in attack stance, but he needs to improve his footspeed on defense and coaches need to line him up on someone who is as slow as he is.
Ramey had such confidence in his shot and game at the beginning of the year and against decent defensive teams like Arkansas. I wonder if the coaching staff has coached that out of him. Will have to see if he has bounce-back games.
What this team needs is someone with the character of TJ Ford who will tell the coaches to back off.
Shaka should be gone at the end of the year, but buyouts may keep him on the floor.
