They always say you need 2-3 pros on your team. I am talking about 3-4 players who average double figures and show up every night. Just looked at that UCONN team and they had 4 players drafted in the NBA draft. They had 3 average double figures and their 4th leading scorer averaged 8

You must be looking at something I am not.

What I see is Walker at 23.5, Lamb at 11.1, then a guy at 9.6 and one at 7.8. Only two In double digits and I wouldn’t consider the others as consistent

I just think with injuries especially to XJ I just don't see it.  I don't think we are as talented as some think we are. I see two starters that would be bench players on championship teams(Kopp, Race.  Also Galloway should be your 5th option at best in your starting lineup. Also right now we have 4 players out and that hurts in the games but also on how you can practice.  If XJ was fully healthy and playing well I might think differently.

As for our inconsistency I don't see it that way. Our overall winning percentage is 67% which isn't great but pretty good. On our last 14 games our winning percentage is 71% which is pretty good.  Last night was unacceptable and should have been ready to play.

Galloway is shooting 50% from 3. That, combined with the energy he brings almost every game makes him more valuable than the fifth option for any team in the conference

No they don't.  What "they" say is that you need 1 1st round NBA player on the team.  And that 1 guy can be a future 1st rounder.  Having said that, the 1987 IU team is the exception to that rule.
