I agree that we need Murry to continue to raise the level of his game. If Hatch is even better, that will be a bonus, but I'm not looking for him to be a necessary key to making up for the loss of Hannah. But neither of them will likely handle the point position. We can do very well without needing our point to be a top scorer, as long as they can distribute the ball well they shouldn't need to score as much as we depended on Hannah to do. WSU should have plenty of scoring options, and I think they should also be even stronger defensively.
This could be the year the MVC begins its resurgence as a "must be respected" basketball conference and back to more than a one team bid for the Big Show. I'd love to see the conference force the committee to take three valley teams this year. While that is probably unlikely, its not impossible. But if we don't get two teams into the NCAA tournament this year I'll be very disappointed.
