If I remember that game correctly, it was the back court for vcu going off and raining down 3s on us in the second half (and of course it was guys who hadn't been known for shooting 3s who were doing it -- Doug Brooks and De'Riante Jenkins -- the vcu special). Justin Tillman and Mo Allie-Cox were held to 7 and 0 points respectively in that game. Grayer and Moore also had 9 turnover between the two of them. The game plan to stop the Tillman/Allie-Cox machine was much better in the tournament than it was during the regular season. Maybe if we didn't have to rely on Grayer and Kier to play post defense things might have been different, but I don't know.
Depth in the front court shouldn't be a problem for this team over the next two seasons. We will be losing 4 really, really, really important guards, though, so hopefully guys like JDS, Greene, Hartwell, and Miller are ready to step in once our juniors and seniors graduate.
