The cynics strongly believe that Blackmon will be back because he's not really hurt...Just having some 'focus issues' and needed three games to contemplate.
That is 100% internet rumor though but Crean has never been forthcoming with stuff like that. Main point is we expect him to recover 100% after three games.
That being said, second chance points will determine the game. We get a lot of them. If we beat you prepare to be frustrated by our second chance points and by you guys yelling at your boys to block out....even though traditional blocking out rarely works against us because we attack the rim from the outside and if we can't grab it, we disrupt it and then it becomes a 50/50 ball that turns into a wide open three.
Those are the plays you have to minimize. You figure that out and share with other coaches and we won't win another game this year.
