This was a good win especially playing so poorly (on the offensive end). I hate to beat a dead horse, but once again I found the shot selection to be atrocious. Not only did the color commentator mention it, but Bill Koss mentioned it on the radio about how they don't make MSU work b/c they jack up shots too quickly. Without Eggy and the threat of him rebounding offensively, shot selection becomes even more important. None of these guys seem to understand time and score, or the particular game situation. And Leon is jacking the ball up as soon as it hits his hands now, regardless of floor balance or where his teammates are. It is so frustrating to me b/c this team is really good, and if they had any acumen regarding shot selection they would be a serious threat in March. As an aside, someone mentioned Stone, etc. I know he has to play more b/c of Eggy's absence, but he is a very weak dribbler and an even worse passer. Throws lazy passes all the time. He is too focused on offense and needs to realize he is needed elsewhere right now. Again a road win is a good win, but I know that my hopes that basketball acumen will improve regarding shot selection is not going to happen.
