RE: Why not try a new point guard?

[Jared Garth]

I agree with the fact that we should try others, but who? Kirk is taking 
crazy shots and White needs to be able to free lance it seems. I take my boy 
to basketball training at south plainfield NJ, and it seems as if Jihad was 
outta control all his playing days. If Huggins sat hard on erick martin, 
Baker etc., why not on Jihad? I must admit we have needed his 3's. Is Nick 
Williams a possibility?


I also want to ask when was the last big game UC won on national tv outside 
of the conference championship? Marquette?


Another comment since I don't post often. I really like the way roy bright 
is rebounding most of the time. I see him as a quality player down the line. 
I am looking forward to the cats coming here to seton hall and rutgers as I 
will be a one man cheering section.
