[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 988125, member: 2784"] Blackshear played very well and we were not going to "shut him down" but I think there were other things we could have done rather than just watch him repeatedly play bully ball with Reeves. Nevada spread the floor and went ISO ball with Blackshear - no threat from over 15 feet or so - just back into the lane bump Reeves back a step and shoot a fadeaway. Lather rinse repeat. Options - go big and make it difficult for him to go bully ball or at least give him some concern on his shots. Gapare to me is the best option but pick anyone 6'9 or so. You could even go with Ndongo but given his fouls probably not. Go zone and have 2 guys at the line to stop the backdown. Con is that you have to have someone stay with Lucas which is an issue. But no one else was going to beat us. Commit to early help from Kelly who was guarding Foster or McIntosh. Make Blackshear pick up the ball and see if Foster/McIntosh can beat us. Key is make someone else beat us. The other part to be honest though would be to make a shot. 6-26 from 3 and 38% from the floor puts way too much pressure on the defense. [/QUOTE]
