Getting the offensive spark

Assistant coach Jeff Rutter said he thinks the best offensive game plan against Missouri is one off the dribble. Enter freshman Diante Garrett who is averaging 5.9 points and 2.8 assists per games.
“Diante Garrett gives us our best chance in that area of penetrating the defense and trying to create good scoring opportunities for his teammates,” Rutter said.
Garrett, who has started only three games for the Cyclones this season, has seen a steady rise in playing time this season, logging 29 minutes against Colorado Saturday.
The Cyclones will need any spark they can get with seniors Rahshon Clark and Jiri Hubalek still nursing injuries.
Garrett could be that match. In their last four losses, ISU has scored only 64 points.
“We’re really trying to have our guards find each other and create some shots that way,” Rutter said.
Do you think Garrett is the answer?
