We definitely need both of our big men; it doesn't seem that they can both have a strong game at the same time! Between off games, foul trouble, matchup problems, etc. , it will continue to be a challenge for the coach to juggle their minutes.

We don't necessarily need scoring from our points - but c'mon guys, no more sloppy turnovers! Run the offense, make the smart pass, and we can pile up the wins we need.

Mulmore has committed all the to's from that spot in the past 3 games.. Mulmore definitely needs to clean up the turnovers. I do think his aggressiveness has created more scoring opportunities for others. We're 3-0 since he's taken the starting role. I realize it's not all him but he has a dynamic we don't have anywhere else on the roster.

Just don't try to do TOO much. These aren't juco level defenders

If I'm not mistaken he set up our first two scores by driving and dishing. I really think he is - or at least has to be - the answer. I realize this isn't JUCO and his 3 point % is mediocre at best but c'mon, he averaged 26ppg last year. Considering his 3 point % was 32% last year he has to be able to take it to the hoop.

Mulmore is no PG, but someone has to dribble the ball up. He can't shoot, dribble in traffic or create for his teammates. He gives effort and is quick, I like that.

It's simple for me. We statistically do better when mulmore is on the floor than when he isn't. There are points when it might make sense to have Mosely in depending on the match up, but Mulmore is clearly ahead in terms running the team. Not that he's perfect, he's pretty average for a point guard, but honestly that's all we need. I can stomach a few turnovers if it means letting LJ and Pryor do what they need to do.

What stats show that the team plays better when he's in? Besides the obvious 3-0 record since he's been starting.. I think the run the team is on has more to do with Govan's play than anything else..

Sometimes stats don't tell the whole story. Look how smooth and quickly the offense runs when Mulmore is in the game. The lob and bounce passes. Decision making, clock management. Understand what a point guard's jon is. It's his or her job to make their teammates better.

I hear your point in regards to Govan's play but for Mulmore winning is the only stat that matters.

I personally don't feel Mulmore has been the catalyst to this run, I feel it's more about Govan stepping up his play offensively..

Understand what a point guard's jon is. It's his or her job to make their teammates better. 2 of the 1st 5 picks in the upcoming draft will be Fultz and the kid from NC State.. Both of those programs will likely miss the ncaa tourney, it's about more than pg play..

Whoever said these two were pure point guards. There are more teams than with great point guard play leading their teams to the NCAA's. You cannot judge off of two players who are not considered pure point guards. Yes, the game is about team and not just one position, but this point guard position is a critical position in basketball. Understand this and stop guessing!!!

Govan couldn't step up if he didn't get the ball from his point guard DUHHHHHHHHH!!! It's easy wake up!!!

I think the need for a point is obvious. Mulmore is growing into his role and plays with intelligence. One small example: calling the timeout when he was trapped.
Does it solve rebounding woes? Not by itself, but a good pg will help insure good shots are taken that makes the rebounds come more easily.
Mulmore has helped us win the past three games -- well enough to give us the edge to win conference games, despite his mistakes.
I am looking forward to next year when pg is a position of strength rather than weakness. Waters is just what we need. And in confident in the development of Mulmore and Mosely.

I get it now you mean pure pgs like Watson was for Creighton all last season or Kris Dunn right? L'ville is one of the hottest teams in the country and both of their pure pgs have been out with injuries.. Is pg/lead guard play important? Absolutely but it's not the end all be all you make it out to be..
