Missing Identity

It's the one that has yet to show up on this team. The go to player in crunch time. The guy that takes the team on their shoulder and carries us forward for the win in the close games.

I'd say josh did everything in his power today to do that. We went away from him last 2 trips. I know what you are saying though.

There is a guy on the team with the right attitude to be the go to guy. He was on the bench late for some unknown reason. He has struggled at times with his fts but gesell makes things happen and should be the creator at the end. The whole team just looks better when he is running things.

I just posted this same thought about Josh on another thread. If he can be consistent and bring what we saw today to every game he could be a strong candidate.

i was wondering why Mike wasn't in the game late. He does an excellent job of moving the ball around and getting open for a shot.

I agree regarding Gesell. He is what I call the "glue guy", the one who IMHO is a coach on the floor or at least has the potential to be. He is still growing into his own as a "floor general", but has all of the intangibles that make him a great leader, We are so much better organized and cohesive as a group when he's on the floor. Why he was on the bench at "crunch time", and when the game was on the line is a mystery to me. Uthoff has shown flashes, but is not consistent, and to me seems to wilt under pressure. Oleseni has improved a ton, but is not a "go to guy", he may well be next year, and Melsahn disappears too much during stretches in the game to be reliable. I love Zach's toughness and tenacity, but he's no "go to guy" either even though he's a gamer. Oglesby had the hot hand and they should have used him or gone more to Dev down the stretch. Not sure why White has been in such a funk lately. Disappointing loss. If we can't hold serve at home against an evenly matched team, I don't see us going that far in either the BT tourney or NCAA's. We don't really have any "bad losses" per se, but losing (3) at home is inexcusable.
