[QUOTE="Techster, post: 699159, member: 360"] LOVED how Devoe closed out the last few games...I made a comment during the middle of the year that Devoe kinda seemed "zoned out", like he was frustrated somehow. The past few games he let his emotions come out, and joked around with his teammates during the games. Maybe it's just coincidence, but the team also seemed to play a lot better to finish out the season. Alvarado's heart on the sleeve is rubbing off on Devoe a bit. The guys seemed to be a group that just had fun out there as opposed grinding through long basketball season. Yes, you'd like to see our guys keep a big lead, but there's something to be said about the mental fortitude of losing a big lead, then battling back to win a game on the road. Devoe and Alvarado will be a special backcourt tandem next year. I think they are starting to understand each other on an ethereal level. It's like brothers who play the neighborhood kids and absolutely school them because they just understand each other and know each others moves without having to communicate. I would struggle to find 10 better backcourts in the entirety of college basketball for next season. Make no mistake, we will miss James Banks presence down low. The way he makes opposing players alter shots, and his physical presence isn't something we currently have on the roster, and probably will not have next season. Best case scenario is Wright and Cole develop their defensive presence over the offseason, and Saba can come in develop under Reveno to give us a good 10-15 minutes of defensive help. A 7 footer down low is hard to go around. The otherside of it is I expect us to be a better offensive team, so hopefully some of the defensive loss is negated by the offensive gain. It sucks that we don't get to see what these guys can do in the ACCT and like NIT, but we closed the season with a promise of a VERY good team next season. Makes me want the next season to start ASAP. Thanks to the Seniors, and let's all hold our collective breaths that the offseason is a quiet one. [/QUOTE]
