Player Ratings - Fear Not, De Sousa has Arrived

Look at the season rating per minute. De Sousa has been very effective these last two games which comprises the bulk of his season. Here are some takeaways.

K-State Game -- Newman is clearly the MVP of the Big 12 tourney thus fr. Graham still puts up valuable (very valuable) numbers even when his shot is not falling). De Sousa was more than an adequate substitute for Dok. They are different players and Dok is clearly a bit better offensively. De Sousa is a better rebounder thus far. Svi needs to pick up the pae if we are to beat West Virginia.

Season -- Graham is so far out front as team MVP is is ridiculous. What a great senior season. We have been so blessed to have Mason last season and Devonte' this season. Clearly we lean heavily on 5 guys. moreso than probably any other Self team.

West Virginia -- The good news is, De Sousa is playing better and better and looking quite effective. That bad news is, Dok has had two of his most effective games against West Virginia. Dok has been a key to our two wins against West Virginia. Look for De Sousa to get a lot of minutes tonight. I simply do not think Lightfoot is up to the task against the beefy front line of West Virginia. Malik will be a key. Svi and Devonte;' have played well against West Virginia in the first two game. Malik has been spotty. If he continues his assault and De Sousa can counter Sag Konate, we should be in decent shape.
