[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 205877, member: 274"] All good points and the cost/benefit of each crossed my mind. I did mean what I said due to the following: [LIST] [*]First and foremost, I want the guy at the elbow to turn and attack - both the basket and whoever is at C. This has to be the instruction for the strategy to work. [*]Agree with the concern with Mitchell. If you've seen my in-game and post-game posts, I'm about as low on his decision-making and ability relative to our other bigs as anyone. The benefit with him at the elbow is the bull in a china shop strategy is exactly what I want. It's the best, most efficient way to gut Syracuse's bigs and/or get them in foul trouble. [*]Same goes for Jacobs. Turn and attack. He'll be able to get to his left hand too given the space I expect him to have to work. Both will effectively just start a little further to the basket and create shots closer to the rim themselves. [*]With Lammers, I guarantee Syracuse sees him as a non-threat. Lammers/anyone who is a passer only will get the "please shoot it treatment". I have no confidence in any of our bigs to hit that shot consistently, minus a streaky Jacobs/Mitchell. But as I said, I don't want us to settle for jumpers there. If we do, we lose. [*]White is compelling because he may be able to attack but I like him too much with the lob/clean-up/finish. The lob will be there, and if it's not it's because of the threat of White behind the zone. It will open up the elbow feed. [*]I mentioned flashing Q or MGH to the elbow... I just think the tradeoffs are too significant to make that the primary plan of attack. Worth probing that once or twice to see if it works. [/LIST] If we're being honest though, there's no NCAA-level strategy where one big plays only high post and one at low post. That's middle school level gameplanning against the 2-3. I'm offering where I want our guys to be the majority of the time. [/QUOTE]
