...and as you say, "It happens". They're an awesome team.Not much to say is that we were outmanned by a superior team.
You're right. Need to work the ball inside out. Got to get better around the basket. Can't just swing it around the perimeter and drain the shot clock then throw up bad shots.Truth is we never really had any chance to win this game- we have such a limited post game. Really becomes evident against a team like this.
We don't have the post players to go inside -out. Not going to happen. Which is exactly why we run a 4-1 spread.You're right. Need to work the ball inside out. Got to get better around the basket. Can't just swing it around the perimeter and drain the shot clock then throw up bad shots.
Those guys have got to develop more cause we have to be able to get the ball inside more to be successful. We are not a great perimeter shooting team.We don't have the post players to go inside -out. Not going to happen.
Will not happen during the regular season. We don't have the size. Which is why we run the spread.Those guys have got to develop more cause we have to be able to get the ball inside more to be successful. We are not a great perimeter shooting team.
That is why they are 5 stars across the board.I don't even think we played that poorly...they're just too dang good.
Is that code for Cecil saying, all these years later, "If only Billy Donovan had taken that Orlando Magic job for good...?"
Not bashing players/coaches... Just an observation and question. It seems as the season has progressed the Offense has regressed to that of last year with little motion and just swinging the ball with no penetration. Is that CAG limiting coach Witherspoon or do we just need more time in his system?Players are developed during the summer, teams during the winter.
When you're playing a spread, which we have to do due to lack of Post presence you've got to depend on passing and cutting. I saw a lot of Passing/screening and "not" cutting (Usually clogged today). You'll see us with a "4 out 1 in " most of the time and occasionally 5 out. Bottomline in those sets you have to shoot the ball well from the outside in order to free the cutter or the 1 in. The idea of the spread is depend on outside shooting and quickness cutting to the basket rather than height on the inside. You'll notice that the 1 in doesn't even go down to the "block", they hang out around the FT line. The idea is to get the ball there and then the 1 in either drives the ball to the basket or passes to another cutter. Kentucky played a smothering defense and we were just out manned today.Not bashing players/coaches... Just an observation and question.
