    I don't think they have to be big time scorers. Just need 2 guys that can hit in the vicinity of 40% from 3.

    We need a guy or two that we can put the ball in his hands at any point in the game and know he will go get us a bucket or get fouled and make his free throws. We didn't have that guy last year and that's why we struggled so much on Offense.

    As good as we were defensively we were just as bad offensively. We only had one guy to average double figures in points, we were the worse team in College basketball from the 3 point line, we were a bad free throw shooting team and we only averaged 65 ppg which was the lowest since 2014 led by Rick Ray with a team with very little talent. We need scorers in a bad way.

    There were 40 guys that shot 40% or better last season and 22 of them were seniors. Doesn't look like too big of a list. The leading shooter was from UNO and there's another guy from North Alabama. Just throw a small bag at them and see if their game translates to SEC competition.
