Yep - it is hard to run a drive and kick offense when you only have one shooter to kick to. Usher, Moore and really Moses need some motion and structure to get cuts to the basket and driving lanes to fit their strengths. Dribble drive doesn't really fit the skills this group does have.
There are very few teams that are "complete" teams. So I am not one who buys into this is a recruiting issue we saw the first 2 games. We have talent - more than enough talent to beat either of those 2 teams. Yes we don't have Banks but 75% of the teams out there don't have a high end rim...
I am as pissed as anyone about these past 2 games, but figure the only semi positive aspect to discuss at this point is what we need to do between now and KY. Since we pretty much wasted 8 weeks or so of preseason practice, we have to try to cram it all in to about 7 days – with NCAA practice...
OK - understand your disagreement but I certainly don't think the outcome of our season is solely based on either Howard or Saba becoming Bill Russell in the next couple of weeks. Though teams like UNC still use a true double post set up to great effect, it isn't the "modern" game and most...
As Moses played center most of the game I would not agree we didn't get much from the center position. Our issue was a lot more we didn't get anything from the wing - especially in terms of 3 pt shooting
This is what drove me nuts last night. When Moses played at the free throw line in the 4 out set, he started the offense with some sort of movement - often a ball screen to get the D moving. When we went to putting Moses on the block - probably to save his energy as he wasn't coming out - we...
While we arguably lost it on the free throw line - they left almost as many points as we did there.
We also fixed the rebounding issue we had in the first half when we went small in the second half.
Our major issue in the second half and especially into overtime is we were not as fit as GSU was...
I don't claim a ton of knowledge on GSU but I think Moses will be matched with Toppin who is 6'6". Same concept though. Will be interesting to see if GSU can run/shoot us into having to go small or Moses can force them into going big.
Forgot to add, there also wasn't any automatic 2 week time out for Baylor so I am not sure if that "guideline" or "suggestion" from the NCAA about a 2 week time out is real or not.
Not sure if these things will be definitive or not. As another example or way forward, Baylor's coach tested positive but because no one else tested positive he is isolating but the team is going forward into next week's games with no other issue. Point being it seems they are going on testing...
Surprised punching, choking, basically assault isn't covered by one of his "for cause" clauses in his contract?
May not be an NCAA violation but I would expect there to be a clause to allow them to fire for cause.
If I am one of the top 3 guys out there I am thinking NBA and while I hate to say it Duke/K has a great record for sending guys like me to the NBA.
Where do I sign, who do I meet for the bag delivery and who sets up the house lease for my folks. Nice easy sell :)
