Keith seems much better from mid range (than 3) when he can shoot off the move. He doesn't seem to favor the set shot which is odd. We can't shoot over Tacko when he is in so we are going to need to make some 12-15 footers. The good thing is we may only see 20-25 minutes from Fall so we need to take advantage with our bigs when he's out of the game. Our bigs can also shoot mid range so we shouldn't challenge Tacko inside like we have in the past (with bad results). We need to take what they give us.
To off of that, I'd love to see Keith get minutes since he can get to the penetrate the zone off the dribble and look to pass out when it collapses. UC's offense against a zone is always passing along the perimeter waiting for an opening for a shot. Occasionally someone pops into the high post for some inside-out action. However, Williams on the wing can catch a pass, drive quick causing a guard to maybe crash down, leaving someone opens on the perimeter. Would love to see that wrinkle.

Anyway, USF is a bad team and there really isn't cause for concern. Avoid injuries, rest the starters in the 2H and move on.
