Ricky Taylor- Unappreciated Consistency

Ricky Taylor just keeps on doing the things he has always done. He's scored well over 1000 points now, and just never seems to have  truly bad game.

He also never seems to have a blow up game.

For example, last year against UNCG he scored over 40.

This year, though, has been anything but. He scored three in the loss to Indiana and thee games later scored two in a win over Savannah State. In the sixteen games since then (and the three games between those two), he has scored between 9 and 21 every game. The one non-double digit game was against Samford. The only game over 20 was against Hiwassee.

That is the definition of consistency. Everyone wonders what is going to happen with Keegan Bell and Omar Wattad on a nightly basis. No one has to wonder what will happen when Taylor steps on the floor. He will score some, he won't turn the ball over a lot, he'll get  a few rebounds and come up with a few assists every night and play good defense. That's what he does.

This team is really struggling overall right now and is desperately looking to come up with a win of any kind. Taylor is the one that comes out and consistently provides production to the team. He's not flashy. I forget about him too many times. Yet, he's the team's leading scorer. The Mocs need Taylor to keep on putting consistent performances together and hope the rest comes together. That's how this team will win big in the end.

GO MOCS!
