Re: Bison Basketball Team ISSUES
The biggest issues with the Bison MBB team are clearly a lack of Indoor Practice Facility and the lowly division in which we play being uninspiring.
Nailed it.
Re: Bison Basketball Team ISSUES
Biggest issues:
1. No true PG - Khy isn't it IMO.
2. No true center - Dylan showed signs but not nearly enough
3. No offensive identity - run the weave until the shot clock is down then fire up a 3 meh
Dave has a lot of work to do to get the program back to being capable of winning an NCAA game.

What is a true center? Do they even exist anymore?
Number 3 was enough of an offensive identity to get us past Oklahoma in the dance.

Marshall B. was a true center. No doubt about that. Despite his size, I do think Dex was a true center. Yes, they very much still exist and I am convinced underused.

I'm talking a Marshall Bjorklund type center. Someone who controls the low post and has a back to the basket game. Dex was pretty damn close even though he was a bit shorter then most still more of a PF. He was drastically under used by Richman IMO. Yes they do exist if you are willing to look and put the effort into developing them.
We weren't just a dribble weave offense in 2013-14. There was a lot of inside/outside play from that team. I don't see anything that resembles our 2013-14 offense under Richman. It's been the dribble weave and chuck up a 3 at the end of the shot clock since then.

Were we running the weave when Saul was here/vs Okla? I remember it being more dribble drive back then...But my memory sucks.

Yeah, the weave started with LA's senior season. It was an effective offense for that team but it needed to change when LA graduated.
Re: Bison Basketball Team ISSUES
I am optimistic with some of our newer coaches that this offseason will be productive. Last year at the end of the season I looked at what we were losing offensively vs replacing with redshirt talent (Geu) and thought we woud be better offensively this year than we were last year.
Now, I look back at how much Braun and Alexander really carried our team especially at the end of the shot clock. So many clutch shots with under 3 on the shot clock.
