Was digging the ESPN mention until they threw up the non-conference schedule. It just gets worse and worse everytime I look at it. Scratching my head over this one Coach Groce.

We have on of the best PG's in the nation averaging 7.5 assists per game last year. I think they will share the ball just fine.

The sharing the ball doesn't end with the point guard.  Any good half-court offense is dependant on quick passing and ball reversal. It creates passing lanes and leaves defenders out of good defensive position to handle dump ins.  Even if you have a good PG the offense will still stagnate if the other four guys on the court look to score first instead of running the offense.  One guy passing the ball doesn't represent sharing the ball.

So are the guys on the team not sharing the ball well in practice or something? It seems like a lot of people are concerned.

As usual, I agree with Van.  Basketball is a team game.  There are few teams with enough talent to top a reasonably talented team that plays as a unit.  Offense!  DEEfense!

Wow, remember this thread?  Guess Fraschilla and Groce were right about their prediction of a deep tournament run for Ohio.
