Title: That was an uninspired performance Post by: Black Diamond Vol on March 21, 2025, 02:54:05 EDT Piss-poor defense, too many 2nd chance points given up. Going forward, that effort gets us beat.

Years past we've blown the doors off the first game and then struggled in subsequent games... :dunno: Title: Re: That was an uninspired performance Post by: BanditVol on March 21, 2025, 06:25:52 EDT I thought it was very adequate.
Title: Re: That was an uninspired performance Post by: PirateVOL on March 21, 2025, 07:19:25 EDT We have an issue with the 4
The starter and the first sub are not doing well defensively At least D-Stone can rebound (no minutes in 2nd half) That was a major problem against the crocs When we go small and Shack is at the 4 we play far better overall defense Against UCLA that will be an issue BTW, our best overall player tonight was Shack IMO Believe it or not but Chaz has really inproved his defense (between Cade and he they flat stoned bamer's inbounds attempt, forcing the 5 sec call - just outstanding defense by Chaz for 6 seconds) Z was abused by a bigger guard tonight but when Shack was on him he was stoned BTW, we switched far more than normal tonight, especially in the 1st half We were switching on maybe 3/4 of the screens, usually we try to fight through them Also, when Cade was in with 14 for Wofford, Cade just beat the crap out of him (and the occasional guard going by (he pushed one clear across the lane in the 1st half, just launched him at high speed) UCLA notes: UCLA will put 15 in and run cuts for him to pass. U-State didn't have a tall enough center to stop it, Felix and Cade will need to be on him when he is in the game 15 is skin and bones so we need to lean on him and force him to play phyisical, we can score on him as he tall but not that athletic We need to put Shack on their #2 and force him off his spots, especially on the right side as he can flat shoot, he is good from the arc and at the elbow, very similar to Chaz Speaking of Chaz, we should be able to run our screens and pins to free him up Chaz when comes off a pin really elevates quickly |
