Offensive Performance
We won. That's most important. Typical first game with young players looking a bit undisciplined, especiall the young point guard. Mick will settle them down.
A long standing concern is the imbalance between offense and defense. Strong and disciplined on D. Mick has a quick hook if they don't give their all on D. But O. Seems like the same old pass around the perimeter and take a shot. Glad Savannah St got tired to give us easy baskets. But I continue to see way too many 3's when the bigs are standing under the basket. This will need to change when we play the big boys. Again, its only the first game. Get that O moving and passing. And penetrating. Some the the subs, Jennifer, did a nice job driving to the basket. That was not a great zone D we faced and there needs to be way more patience in getting the ball inside. |

True. If all Mick wants to do against a zone is shoot threes....
We seem to have a really good 3-baller mentality. When you live by the 3 you die by the 3 on those nights when the rim gets tight. Looking for some aggressive play to drive it inside on a zone. Then dish it off to Clark and big Kyle. They were standing there while the rest pumped from the 3 pt line. I hope I'm wrong but if we go cold against UCLA, X or the Wheat Shockers....we will regret not having developed a penetrating offense against zones. |

The only problem i saw on offense was turnovers. Cane needs to be the guy that settles us down, in the second half he did not do that for us today. |

The opposition paid the price for playing that zone. While it did give us a ton of open looks from the perimeter it also opened up rebounding opportunities. We killed them on second chance points and I believe almost set a team record in boards.

I hope that they fare better at BBT moving forward from range, considering they shot better at home last year, hopefully improves with playing there more often.

Yah...it was a tale of two halves really. We shot 45% in the first and like 18 % in the second. We have way too many guys who can score very well from 2 point range to attempt that many 3s. I get there were a lot of possessions but we still should have went inside more IMO. Our bigs need to face up and get position and demand the ball and our wings need to get it there. It's too easy to launch 3's all game. I also get we played a packed zone...but I still think we could have made it more of a priority.
