As always, thank you so much for your observations - also Dr B and Traprh.

Cronin said Peoples is and has been out with an injury. I agree with you about Cronin talking up Jamerson - but also some others who observed some practice. But he can't contribute if he can't stay on the court any length of time.

Also, post game Cronin commented that Perry is coming along well but he needs to learn he can't make it to the NBA in one night. Certainly seemed to be trying 'way too hard last night (what's the quote? - never mistake activity for accomplishment....)

Like the pace - you play with Dent, you move the ball. With our center play - thought Traprh put it very well talking about the difference facing Big Ten teams with powerful front courts - bangers inside. I believe both lead posts - we haven't had any chance to actually see Peoples play - will improve but can either be relied on to hang in there and play effectively when they meet up with the really big and tough front lines in the B1G and during the tournament?

Team will be really fun to watch - enjoy Dent while we have him for sure - but lots of questions about our ceiling primarily due to that center position
