We're not bad when Garza and Moss play well. Obviously JBos 3s didn't hurt either. Games like this make me think we may not be far off but the inability to compete on the road still is concerning.
Garza is going to continue to get better. So will Nunge, he just needs confidence. You could see it in his face last night when he missed a wide open 3. Cook will improve. He showed the mid-range jump shot very sparingly this year but hopefully that part of his game continues to develop.
Baer as the 6th man seems to be working better. He isn't trying to do as much on offense. He just needs to impact the game the way he does with rebounding, defense and blocked shots and shoot the 3 ball in rhythm.
Moss need to continue to work on his ability to drive in the half court. We know we don't have the creater at the PG spot so I'd like to see Moss step that part of his game up.
I do believe both Connor and Weiskamp will contribute next year and help to the depth at the guard spot. Overall depth should still be good with guys like Dailey, Pemsl, Kreiner, Ellingson, and Wagner all being a year older. Not saying I even want to see some of these guys play much there's always injuries that come up or foul trouble situations and it's nice being able to go to guys that have experience on the floor.
Young teams typically aren't good at D and I know D isn't Fran's specialty but I still gotta think that next year we will have a roster with a lot of experience and that there isn't anywhere to go but up as it relates to the Defensive side of the ball.
Granted it's a home win against a team that had lost 5 straight and ended 6-12 in the conference but I'm trying to take a little hope away from last night's win.
In regards to JBo and the free throw, I really don't have a strong opinion. I would have been fine with JBo breaking it as he would have earned it but I think it's really classy that he wanted to honor Chris' legacy by keeping his record alive.
