Right/Wrong
Right: we became a competitive team again
1. Hammond has developed into a weapon and is able to attack. Last year he was more stop and go because we didn't have size. Hammond steals proven to be big in many games.
2. Shutte has been a much better defender this season.
3. Hansberry has been a welcome addition. Centerpiece of the offense many games.
4. Bedford another welcome addition and is our best all around guard.
5. Neo had some great games early and distributed the ball very well.
6. Getting Tobi back has been big in terms of rebounding on both ends.
7. Gurdak has had some big moments.
Wrong:
1. Shutte needs more minutes and should be shooting 4 or 5 3's every night.
2. Bedford minutes have increased but he should have seen more minutes in early ACC matchups especially closing games.
3. Letting Neo close games. His shot selection late has lacked. Which also begs the question of what roles players have. When I saw Sincere Jones firing off 4 3's in the Wake game I started questioning what roles perimeter shooters have. And apparently there are not roles concerning shot selection.
4. Hammond has been fantastic but leaving him in a game in defensive possessions to close games is a mistake to me. We have other options that make sense defensively. Wake is the first game that comes to mind but there were others.
5. Losing our best defender in Tyler.
6. Hansberry FT shooting.
7. Gurdak, Dorn, and Hansberry fouls. Hansberry has had too many games where he is in foul trouble early. Its the big's though so it's not exactly unexpected with the way ACC officiating. Still not sure how Gurdak wasn't called for some of the screens in the UVA game because he blew some guys up.

What has gone right this season? Seems like not much.

Would agree if you forget about the “pro- booing our own players” crowd**

Luckily for us, there's a stretch run hump staring us right in the face.
