Did you watch our SEC games last year? I'd list post defense/defensive rebounding as one of our 2-3 biggest issues. We were TERRIBLE defending the post last year. Terrible. We did not have guys with bodies built for that role and were a couple inches shorter on avg. KP as a freshman was fun on the offensive end but not big/strong enough to be a factor in the SEC as a post defender. Woods needs to step up huge and fill that role. I care far more about his performance on that end than on offense.

We had a power 5 team that finished with a negative rebounding margin on the season - that includes the cream puff games too. 239th in the country in D1: http://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/151/p5 That's a size issue. And the SEC stunk last year, so that's even more embarassing.

I'd list that, hitting open shots/3s and effective subbing/allocation of minutes as our biggest issues for this season.

                                                                           All true. But better ball movement will produce more open - sprintcar STL - 9/13 13:27:29
