Rice problem isn't a lack of discipline. Anyone who has seen him last year and this year knows he has grown tremendously both mentally and physically. He's even gotten several comments on here about how he has matured and grown mentally.

 

When he attacks the rim like he did last night, he is very tough to handle for any player in this region. When he's settling for jumpshots, he becomes a mediocre player. He just needs to play with confidence all the time. When his confidence goes down, that's when you start seeing the mistakes.

 

He showed last night that he's capable of taking over a game offensively. There were several possessions in a row where he either scored or got to the charity stripe.

 

I am not saying off the court discipline. I am saying on court discipline as in not working within the offense, etc. I haven't seen him much this year so maybe I am wrong about that. I just thought even in the Beechwood game last night, when the ball hit his hands on offense, he was not going to pass it. That is what I am referring to. Correct me if I am wrong (as if I have to ask ).

I can definetly see where you're coming from VOR, so I have no complaints and I'd say that's a pretty spot on evaluation.

I think if Holmes plays like they did last night and Pittman stays out of foul trouble then I think they could repeat.
