Houston: Round 2: The Battle for Everything
To me Houston is an extremely tough matchup because they: 1. Double every single post touch, which basically takes your big out of the game. 2. They then put on ball pressure around the 3 point line from long lengthy guards that don't allow you to get off 3 pointers 3. You can't try and just focus on one guy. Houston has had huge performances Sasser, Grimes, Jarreau, Hinton and Mills Jarreau has scored in double figures 14 times Sasser 9 times Mills 18 times Grimes 16 times Hinton 14 times You can totally eliminate Jarreau and Mills and yet still lose because Sasser, Hinton and Grimes filled in. We turned Mills into a high volume low efficiency shooter in the last game. We made him take a lot of long two's. For me the goals to win this game would be: -Limit turnovers, Zero excuses for turnovers against a team that doesn't gamble -Force the issue with fouls AND make your free throws. -Pack in the paint as much as possible and don't bite on drive and kick. Can't collapse on the ball every possession -Don't get rattled. I don't think we've been rattled all year. No reason to start now. -Defend for 40 minutes. A week off should be plenty of time to give it your all. -Need really solid defense. Houston will spread you out and then play ISO ball, especially with mills. Jarron and Keith both did a great job with this last time. Bait Jarreau into a bite |

Keys:
Get back to some form of ball movement to re incorporate Vogt. The angles of getting him the ball have been terrible since Jarron took over at PG. Keith W: Stay out of foul trouble, mental trouble, and score in double figures with 5 or more rebounds. Jarron: Limit turnovers, make the simple non spectacular passes. Get other guys involved besides Tre S. Tre: I would like to see 4 assists from Tre, once again since Jarron is at the PG, Tre no longer looks to pass, which we lose open buckets from other players with his new scoring focus. Can't and wont knock his effort. Maw: Be aggressive on offense and sneak in 10pts or better for the game. Vogt: He needs his deep touches, I can see his confidence dwindling slowly Bench: Good D and 20+ points Hopefully the guys will be rested and will give 100% effort. Rebound as a team, and keep their man in front of them on Defense. Brannen: Don't get out coached |

I’m all for Vogt getting more deep touches. But Houston’s “monster” defense, a term they lose to trap the post, makes it really hard to score from the post. The best thing we can do is get the defense to collapse on Vogt and use it to get some big to big passing. But Vogt didn’t pass well at all the last time we played them. He Did score 10 points once we figured out the coverage more. |

Outliers from the Feb 1 matchup: - Caleb Mills played bad(3-19 FG). You would expect him to get back to his averages. -They were missing Jarreau down the stretch. -Jarron was 5-12 at the line -Sasser 4-5 from 3 Prediciton: UC 68- Houston 65 My key to the game is to play D without fouling. I think the Cats do that and find a way to win. A refreshed and desperate group of seniors make the plays to win this one. |

Last three games from 3: 4-10 3-8 5-10 My guess is that he escaped the scouting report the first time but he won’t this time. |
