The realization that his role isn't to shoot 3s, but is to play that middle position in the zone, block a little bit, rebound a little bit ... its having a big impact.<BR/><BR/>2) Even Wright has quietly been not playing as well as he was prior to Big East play. But think - say him and Sapp start to play better, that's a huge pickup. <BR/><BR/>3) Remember the "Monroe is Lamar Odom" comparison? Still pretty valid, though I'd say Monroe is a better passer. He is perfect for our offense.<BR/><BR/>4) To paraphrase the deranged pilot from Independence Day who sacrifices himself to kill the alien mothership: this game at Duke is a little bit of a personal vengeance experience for me as a Dukette once played with my heart/mind before saying 'not interested'. Long story short? In the words of Patrick Ewing when Jared Dudley said the Big East was overrated, "If I have a chance to dunk on them, I'm going to really hard."<BR/><BR/>TimTim Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340840554244295435noreply@blogger.com
