The main attraction is the artist formerly known as Terrell, starting guard Tu Holloway. Holloway does some of everything; on the year he averages 20.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, making him one of only two players in Division 1 to average at least 20/5/5. In addition to that, he was also named to the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team last season, averages 1.5 steals per game on the year, is fourth in the nation in free throws attempted (263), is first in free throws made (228), has two of the only 18 triple doubles in the nation this season, plays 38 minutes per night, and scores at a .61% true shooting percentage. Holloway attacks the basket, attacks the rebounding glass better than almost any other 6'0 guard, can guard in isolation as well as any guard, is aggressive, strong, athletic, fearless, is a decent shooter, has a strong left hand, can be dynamite in transition, and has decent court vision. This is all shown in the statistical dominance. Holloway overdribbles at times, takes way too many jumpshots, is more of a scorer than a point, and can stop the ball, yet those things only make him imperfect. He's still an incredibly good collegiate guard.
