May be just too hard to carry a team

Watching both Sanders and, on the women's team, Scaife show signs of no longer carrying the team on their backs. Some players seem to truly embrace this but I can see where it just wears you down game after game and you end up losing your edge. You take less than great shots, lose the ball, etc. a lot more than usual with no real back ups to pick up the slack. Both teams really need players who can score as their overall D seems to be decent IF they can keep up with the points.
 
Both are excellent talents. Neither is good enough to carry a team

Every Bat Man needs his Robin. Hell, even Jordan had Pippen (and a host of other reliable role players Armstrong, Kukoc, et al)
 
Who is good enough to carry a team? The last two years the #1 picks in the draft couldnt even bring their college teams to the tournament. Unless you have a lebron like talent, its tough to carry a team in a game that is a team sport. Thats why if we want to improve next year Corey needs to stay. Cant be losing quality players in a rebuild.
 
Trae Young of Oklahoma carries his team-----not many others

Last night scored 44-----on 20 shots !
 
Ive been saying it all year
Every game we have 2-3 bombers on the other team doing what good players do,,score
while our guys mostly throw bricks

Lowley Illinois had 5 guys in double figures
a freshman Frazier got 6.... 3 pointers
as a team they shot 56.9% !!!!!
we lost to the worst team in the B10 by 31 pts
Thank GOD for Fr GEO Baker last night!

We simply dont have enough weapons
it breaks my heart

but coach P will make that happen
