[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 529669, member: 2784"] I didn't see that many "wide open" loks for VT. They got some looks from the corner but you give that up with a 1-3-1. I saw us with a hand in their face and Banks - while missing some inside shots that killed me - did a good job of rim protection. Almost Lammeresque. Any review of our D has to be above average to great. We played some really weird combinations that IMHO contributed to our offensive woes. Couple of times we had Moses, Banks and either AD or Cole - and tried to run a 4 out offense. OMG that is a horrendous group to try to do that. I was just hoping we spread the floor and let Jose go one on whatever. Better than what we got a lot. But the length on D from those weird groupings kept us close by limiting open looks for them. Our offensive woes came from those groupings, from Devoe being OK but not near what we hoped/what we need and not having anyone - including Jose - who can break down their defender and kick (not that we have anyone who can make a shot). Not even getting to the end of the game theatrics - we need a perimeter player who can drive and kick. It was so freaking open all game long but we can't do it. The end of the game issues I can write off to youth. A young (in playing time) Banks not taking his time to finish a bunny. Jose not just doing whatever it takes to get the ball because he knows he is the only one who should have it. Devoe giving the ball up as fast as he can when he did get it. Alston sucked on that last play which ended up with a ridiculous attempt to feed AD in the deep corner (do what???) - but no way he should be in the position to be the one to make a play at the end of the game. That is primarily Jose's job or as a second option Devoe. They aren't ready yet. All in all, I am pissed we lost but not in a funk about it. If you are looking to see improvement it was there. Obviously mostly on D and effort - but any coach will tell you D is the harder side of the ball to get right. It travels. It keeps you in games. If we can get Jose some help on offense we have a shot to win more games this year than projected. My focus is on Devoe. He is the anointed one for that role. He ain't there yet. As he improves so do we. [/QUOTE]
