Sucks to have the Bobcats in my back yard for football and basketball but walk away 0-2.
I am sure I have lost it but I see a glimmer of hope in this team. IF Dartis and Gollon make it back, I'm not scared of the MAC.
No offense to Gollen but his return alone will not put us in MAC contention. Both Gollon and Dartis is a different story. It will take both 3-5 games to get their legs and game back so I don't have high expectations for immediate impact.
Correct, we seem to be putting alot of stock in a guy that averaged 5 points a game for 2/3 of the season last year. He had a nice run toward the end but Gollon is not going to be a huge difference maker for this team.
I disagree a bit because you're only looking at the 5 points per game part. He scored in double figures many times once he was back in the swing of things. His outside shooting alone is huge but you have to look at what putting another competent ballhandler out on the floor will do to our depth. I feel like we have the best trio of "bigs" in the MAC in BVP, Carter and Doug. I like Kirk at a wing or guard. I am still feeling like Preston will get eaten alive by a team like Buffalo or even Kent with Avery and Walker. I think Cowart is going to burst at some point and be very productive. To have Gollon as a handler and shooter and emotional guy would be huge. I think he would instantly step in and average at least 10 points and 4 boards with 3 assists per game with this group. It would be nice to bring Preston, Block and BVP off the bench.
