[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 860659, member: 2784"] Pastner made a bet last night he could outscore BC and he won. That was all about getting his offense in gear. IMHO while Usher at the elbow (whether he was the 5 or not) did make the offense run much better than any big including Howard, he still got a huge and really unexpected boost from Maxwell playing/shooting at a level no one including him could have foreseen. He lost the battle against the BC big who scored out of his mind but won the war. Very needed win. The question going forward is whether the same bet he made against BC will win going forward - and parsing that bet - who will it win against and who will it not. While I am OK with the going small bet against BC, I know and I expect CJP knows that it won't work against everyone. Don't have to look any further than UNC to know that if Post got 24, Bacot probably doubles that if we go small the whole game. Looking beyond that WF and Miami we can probably get away with a lot of small ball, FSU along with UNC not so much. Pastner has a core issue that the offense overall and especially the modified princeton offense isn't working as well as it needs to without really Usher at the elbow. Moore is OK and better than Howard but not optimum in my view. So he went all in on going small and fixed his offensive issues against BC. But for UNC he has to figure out a way to continue the offensive momentum without resorting to one of his bigs at the elbow in a modified princeton set. Nothing new there and lots of folks including me have been saying that for a while. I love the ball movement we got against BC and the tempo we played at. Usher and even Devoe are better players at tempo - and UNC will allow us to play at tempo. We just can't use our bigs as the primary facilitator in the offense - it mucks everything up. Time for a change there. IMHO the game at UNC will be in the high 70s or 80s and the only chance we have is to score at that rate. Pace and keep the ball in the hands of the guards/wings. Accept a big for D but hide him on O. [/QUOTE]
