A little love for the Spiders, but even though they have won 4 of 5 the season still feels like one of missed opportunities. The Spiders rebuilding looks to be going well, but the winner's mindset still seems to be lacking. Butler being inserted into the starting lineup and seeing more minutes has helped. He's scrappy and does the little thing and can also shoot. The Spiders biggest problem is the lack of consistent scoring, particularly down low. It makes me wonder what the season would have look like if their leading scoring from last year, center Dan Geriot, would not have been sidelined for the entire year with an injury. If he can come back healthy next year, the team would return in tact, basically trading Geriot for Giddings which would be a huge upgrade. The youngsters would have another year of experience and not be so young. It may be the crucial year. Barring injuries, the team should make a strong push for a 20 win season.
UR hosts GW this weekend, a game they should win. They should also have a shot at Charlotte the following week, with the final game against Xavier a long shot. 9-7 in the A-10 is a possibility, which is not too bad in the Atlantic 10. Next year, however, average will not be acceptable.
