In response to dmbkfan
We get another crack at Harvard. It will be interesting to see what, if any adjustments we make. Harvard just ground us down, particularly our star Evan. We kinda helped them by playing Evan basically the whole game. We need a big game from someone away from Evan if we're going to win. That pretty much narrows it down to Guilien or Miles. Those are the only other players who are permitted that many touches. Maybe if Barry heats up from deep he might get the green light.
The FGA data to date say Evan, Miles, and Guilien are going to take 59% of the attempts. That's 34 of our 57.8 attempts per game. So they need to be on or someone else has to breakout. Our restricted offensive depth hurts because Evan is subject to double teams. Evans buckets are all hard won.
Teams basically know where we're going. We are playing through Evan. Conversely, Harvard rolled out the whole team and got production from everyone who touched the floor. Their attempts are way less concentrated. They also shoot a higher percentage. So, to win we have to be better defensively for the entire game. Although our defense has improved it's not of that caliber. They are going to go at Evan again and wear him down. So it'll be interesting how we scheme against that or mix it up as you said.
