Panthers are going to need to find a way to battle this stretch without Rowe. Not only was he a high octane scorer, but by far the best ball handler on the squad.

Wasn't at the game, but you can see,

Not going to win a lot when you trail by 3 after 1 qtr and then manage to put up 7 points the next two qtrs. Not a good showing, but they know that. This can provide some valuable time for others to learn to play the 1 and for others to have to step up. When Rowe does return, it should only make everyone better.

Just survive this stretch. The good news is that it has been shown that anything can happen in the 15th and at this point, this team is a little ahead of my expectations. Just gotta keep improving. Go Panthers! Pick it up!

Agreed, Rowe provides so much for them, not just his scoring, but his ball handling against pressure, etc. They will have to learn who can step up and when, and make the most of this trip.
