Like I said...Rebounding

Postby JasonB » Tue Nov 18, 2014 12:55 am

Just a killer. Way too many second shots, most of them easy.

The offense can be fixed by actually... running the offense. Gonzaga isn't lamar, you can't dump it into the post and score at will. The bigs threw up a lot of bad shots tonight. Give it to Ben Moore up top to attack a big on the dribble (like the three for Frazier), or dump it down and pump it back out and around. The ball never came back out of the post. That will be fixed pretty easily by Brown with it on tape.

Rebounding is a problem though. Especially with the starting 5 - none of the perimeter 3 go and get rebounds (Nic, Frazier, Ben E). You almost have to start playing Brown more minutes until Martin and Ben E go and get more rebounds.

Good point. Despite the fact that we shot miserably and got out-hustled if we have a Kennedy and a Tolbert out there we have a better shot underneath. Our three bigs just aren't bangers.

Yannick has to be better in big games-he seems to wilt under the pressure. I was hoping playing in the world games had given him an edge but it didn't show last night.

YM is more suited for an open game, not a half court game. Just not the physical guy, or as good of a passer as Ben or MK are. I appreciate the aggressiveness, but sometimes you need the awareness that you are in a bad offensive position and kick the ball back out.

We will slow the game down offensively and players will figure that out. It just might take us until conference t do it.

I thought we were going to try to go more up tempo to suit YM's game.
