Agree, but he got exposed in the Iowa game a little bit. Why not go straight 2-3 to protect brooks. Wasn’t like the matchup was working so well you couldn’t change it. Or attack the press. We never put someone in the middle of it

Did we change anything? I could be wrong but it looked like we kept doing the same thing the whole game.

we were picked 2nd. im not really sure where all this talk about us greatly exceeding expectations comes from. we played much better than we thought we would through december, but then it turns out the teams we beat weren't as good as we thought they were going to be. the team really didn't play well at all after the start of February outside of that tournament championship game vs houston. at the end of the day we sit at 32 on kenpom right now but we have the highest luck factor we've ever had. i would say we hit the top range of expectations for the team (make the tournament, likely win no tournament games) but we definitely didn't greatly exceed them. |

I’ve been banging the “get shooters” drum forever but If you don’t have the shooters, don’t get in a shooting contest. Speed the game up. Beat the press. Get lay ups. Don’t slow the game down. I agree, our players weren’t great. Still could have beat Iowa

We had two of the 5 best three point shooters in the American and Broome was over 40% for the latter half of the season. The biggest issue we had was lack of driving threats. Besides Cumberland we had no one who could regularly take their man off the bounce or finish at the basket. Iowa exposed that with their press, we'd break it and then be unable to take advantage - because no one besides Cumberland was a finisher off the drive. |
