I missed the game on Saturday, but after reading the comments, it sounds like that it was an “ugly” win. A win is still a win, especially with a young team in a close game. I definitely believe it will be a roller coaster year until they address the rebounding, on both ends of the floor.
Lehigh’s frontline, at times, is as big as many BCS teams: 6’7, 6’8, 6’10.
Maybe the coaches need to borrow a drill from MSU coach Tom Izzo and break out the football pads in practice.
Defense is much more than stats. In my opinion, the best wing defender to play college basketball was Billy King (6’6) at Duke. Career averages: .3 blks, 1 spg. (Senior year avg: .4 bpg, 1.5 spg).
