I'm not sure there's going to be a point in Tisdale's career where he's not a
liability on defense. I'm encouraged by the progress he seems to be
making on the offensive end, but while he occasionally has good games on the
defensive end, I just don't see him ever becoming a dominant defensive force
inside. He got burned badly a couple of times against Northwestern.<br>

too, am disappointed, but think the NIT might be a better fit for us, especially
if we can learn how to win games. We seem to have no killer instinct. The 3
juniors we expected so much from have been disappointing, to say the least.
McCamey makes very poor decisions some times. Davis seems to have lost

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Alright,
I'm as disappointed at this season as anyone, but let's not get carried
away. It would take a collapse of truly monumental proportions at this
point to not get invited to the NIT. While I am probably most disappointed
in Bruce this year, given that we show a lot of the hallmarks of an
undisciplined team, and that falls on coaching, I still believe in him enough
to feel certain he will not let this season sink that low. Honestly,
that's probably a better place for this team, because they have at least a
chance of some level of success, vs a likely first round exit in the dance.<br>
<br>
I thought Northwestern looked like a better team this game compared to when
they came here, which makes sense given they were at home this time, but it
still seems clear we've got the superior talent. For the first time in
quite some time, the whole is much less than the sum of the parts this year,
and that's just sad. It all falls down to the lack of a real leader on
the floor, because I'm sorry, McCamey is not that guy. He has improved in
many ways this year, and really does seem to be giving it his all most of the
time, but he's just not a floor leader in the mold of Dee or Chet.<br>
<br>
Someone else talked about playing the freshmen more, and Griffey has already
been getting a lot more minutes of late, and looking OK. Maybe he'll
start pushing Davis to do better, because honestly, he's been a disappointment
more often than not since the start of the conference season, if not even a bit
earlier.<br>
<br>
This team WILL be better next year, even if the incoming freshman don't
contribute much. Tisdale is playing more within his strengths now,
McCamey has his head on straight, and the freshmen from this year will improve,
even if none of them step up to be the floor leader we need. That's the
one thing that may still hold us back from reaching our full potential again
next year, but there's little doubt in my mind we'll be better than this
year. Davis is the one guy that seems to be at best staying at the same
level, and at worst regressing, and it's probably mental, because he's got the
skills.<br>

And next year we effectively have the same team, with the addition of <br>
some supposedly great freshmen. But the good freshmen this year didn't <br>
