Neither Peterson or Council is a traditional PG, they are both Combo Guards. I agree Peterson will make a difference; I'm just not sure how much. I don't personally think it brings us from the 50's where we've been for 3 years straight to the Top 25 but I guess we'll see, if he ever does play again here. We have such a small sample base to make any kind of accurate opinion on. Theoretically he should make a tangible difference.
We played with the intensity and effort to win the game on defense but the offensive struggles were really highlighted, once again. They were there last week against ND and Cuse but we were able to survive. They got to find consistency scoring the ball regardless of whether DP is in the lineup or not. We don't have the personnel to survive 35% shooting nights especially when a majority of the misses were right at the rim. We played to our identity last night but didn't execute enough.
