[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 994231, member: 2784"] This is part of the reason we won the game last night playing a way that I didn't think we could and win. To me we need Gapare or Coleman at the 4 to keep the floor spread and allow Ndongo a clear lane for the role. So it makes sense to me to see the relationship you state. Last night we played Claude at the 4 and got away with it unlike when we did that against Duke. There was an upside that Clemson stayed in contact with Claude in the corner and didn't clog the lane like Duke. They also switched the high screen and let the guard take Ndongo off the role. The downside was the guard - usually Hunter - was strong enough to push Ndongo off the lane and keep us from exploiting it. Made us a primarily perimeter team without George being able to get into the paint. You had a stat on George getting into the paint I didn't understand but eyeballs tell you our offense works a lot better when he is in the paint. I didn't think we could win from the perimeter like we did. As an aside, I was hoping we would put Gerard in that high screen. They played him against Reeves in the corner and out of that action. I was hoping we would put Reeves in the high screen action and make Gerard play Ndongo off the role. On defense it was a story of senior bodies against our freshman bodies. Hall, Schiefflin and Godfrey are all grown men compared especially to Ndongo and Gapare. Claude battled better than Gapare but still was generally overmatched. This difference was accentuated by the level of pushing they were allowing but that was pretty obvious. We survived on defense and made just enough plays at the end to win. We won because we made more shots from the perimeter than we have been making and were just tough enough on the defensive end to stay in the game. Glad to see them get rewarded for a change. [/QUOTE]
