[Comment From CDCD: ]

Any idea what is happening with Taylor...seems a little flat this season...

Thursday December 15, 2011 8:25 CD

8:25

Patrick Herb:

Flat? He's struggling with his shot a little (he'll admit that), but I'm not sure what you mean by flat. I think he's shown quickness this year and the ability to get to the rim. I'd say he's searching a bit to figure out the best way to lead this year's team.

Thursday December 15, 2011 8:25 Patrick Herb

Struggling with shot is what I meant. Not sure how the turnover ratio is, but seems higher than last year.

Thursday December 15, 2011 8:27 CD

8:27

Patrick Herb:

It is higher than last year, but he did lead the nation a year ago, so there is only one way to go. He's still top 20 in the NCAA.

Thursday December 15, 2011 8:27 Patrick Herb

8:27

Thursday December 15, 2011 8:29 Guest

8:29

Patrick Herb:

Nah... not really. I just don't have a great answer for why his production is down from last year. As he says though, as long as the team is winning, he doesn't care if he goes 0-for-10.
