RE: Trouble scoring against the zone

[Darren Sloppy]

I've thought from the beginning that the play of Armein is the key with the
play of White being the next important to our success.  With our lack of
height inside, I believe their "excess" height on the wings, are extremely
important.  They were brought in with very high expectations and I
personally don't think that they have come close to those expectations.

I've been a big Nick Williams supporter between here
and the UC boards, but he really needs to pick it up,
and soon.  He can be the guy we can count on from
outside, but right now, he is not.  The game he played
vs. Purdue needs to be his norm, rather than
exception, for this team to succeed.
