We’ll miss his perimeter scoring but this is not as big a loss as not having Kapita. Ted seems like the only one on the front court that can handle some contact and still score in the paint.
I agree that the loss of Kapita will have a significant impact on this team, but if Rowan plays I still feel like this team has a chance in this tourney. I think this experience will really show our team, and I am confident that they will find a way to step up. We still need to worry about getting past Montana first, as they are a good team, but I hope that we can still find a way.
mc991 – Our bar can’t be Montana this season. With the amount of talent on this Wolfpack squad games like Montana need to be blowouts. And I believe Montana is 0-2 to start this season so no excuse for playing poorly against a team like that.
I like Mav but he’s a liability on perimeter defense and all it takes is one weak link out there and it leads to fouls on our bigs (with no Kapita).
