If the men's basketball team played today "Dominique Kirk would be our starting point guard." The previously obvious choice to pick up where Acie left off, Donald Sloan, will start at shooting guard and mix in a little point. This is a bit of a shock. Dom Kirk had a better assist-to-turnover ratio than Acie (2.62-1.92), but he is not as explosive as either Acie or Don Slo. If you remember, Don Slo had some amazingly athletic moves to the basket in the NCAA tournament. While watching the Penn game, a Duke guy (no I am not friends with anyone that went to Duke, I was at a bar) yelled to the TV, "now that is the kind of athlete we need at Duke." He was right. Duke bowed out of the tourney later that day.
Turg has said that we should expect a more creative offense this year (i.e. some thing besides high low ball and spacing). That creativity should now include Don Slo pealing off double picks and taking it to the rack.

if this means getting the best players on the court at the same time and using the talent of this team to it's fullest can you blame coach T...I'd like to see this...I think both players from what I saw last year are dynamci in their own ways...
