In response to bradley
1) The team doesn't need to shoot well from 3...but Cannady does. If he were playing like himself these past two weeks, we'd probably be 7-1. Sometimes your star just needs to play like one. Oni, Aiken and Barry hit tough shots that we're used to seeing Devin hit.
2) Omitting non-D1 games, this team is 9-0 when allowing less than 70 pts and 2-8 when allowing more than 70 pts. That's pretty striking, but it's not just about "defense." It's about slowing down the pace of the game. And one way to do that is to get the ball to Aririguzoh more...
3) Getting the ball to Aririguzoh has been a challenge at times, and teams have forced some TOs with double-teams. But we can't let that change the game plan. I think our guys overreact to a few good defensive stands on RA, forgetting that he's still our best option right now. No team in the league has any answer for him.
We just need to be more creative in our entry feeds. MH called a great play out of a timeout to get RA the ball in the low post. A lot of movement, a lot of clock used up, but it worked -- he got the ball cleanly in the low post. He didn't make the shot, but it's exactly the sort of play we need more of.
