Couldn't disagree more with #1. Beating Tulane, USC, Valpo, and functioning at all out there with who he has to put out on the floor is amazing. While it's an obvious struggle, it looks better than I thought it would. The few returning guys we have have improved and are better players than they were before. I love the way Miles' teams defend. Today we ran good plays out of almost every time out. Made a few; Ubel didn't get the roll on the huge one toward the end but it was a nice call in the time out.
I suspect if someone would have said before the season that we not only had to play with what we have on the roster, but we would play a conference game without Almeida, the backup point guard would play with a torn patellar tendon, and the starting point guard (who is a 5'8" true freshman and can't shoot) would play over 30 minutes with a lingering MCL sprain, and we were tied with a Big 10 team with 3 minutes to go, that someone would have said "This guy must be able to coach".
