He's got the frame for it and the athleticism, but put the ball in his hands and all hell breaks loose. Also, fouls.<br /><br />2. Tchiengang might have to be the guy at the 5 from now on if only because he can score down there. He's not gonna move everyone around by himself and has to get inside position without the ball, but if he does that, he can score probably 70% of the time.<br /><br />3. Tinsley needs more PT. The offense runs much better with him at the point, and he's going to need to be on the floor for a minimum of 30 - 35 minutes per game. When he wasn't setting up the offense, the rest of the team struggled.<br /><br />4. I liked what I saw defensively yesterday, but people seem to get caught ball-watching on the weak side which led to probably 10 points on backside cuts or open shots on the weak side. If you're gonna play man, or even a 2-3 zone, you gotta keep your eyes on the other player.<br /><br />There were some good things to take away from that game, mainly that the Dores know how to win when they're taken out of their game, but they never should've been in that position to begin with. WVU will be another challenge altogether, one that I'm not quite as confident in.Anything but Gatoradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006770456109241897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-38843963674189060742010-11-18T20:53:54.279-06:002010-11-18T20:53:54.279-06:00Johnny Cash is my boy.

How did we manage to move the ball so well on offense with HORRENDOUS production. I thought we were going to be fortunate to hit 50 in that game. Seemed constantly stymied by an offensive foul, missed layup, missed pass...Very stange offensive game. Feels like we could have put up 75 if a few things went differently. Looking forward to not playing 25 games against teams like that...hats off to Nebraskas coach for turning a bunch of mediocre players into a pretty good team.macpfledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660636434118928952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-89814672568430773582010-11-18T17:14:20.255-06:002010-11-18T17:14:20.255-06:00I agree with everything stanimal said. one more l...I agree with everything stanimal said. one more lowlight though: coaching adjustments. Nebraska is a terrible match up for us with all of their size, but they are weak on the perimeter. I understand what stallings wanted to do. Get up and guard on the wings and make entry passes difficult. This didn't work at all, leading to high post entries and back door lay ups. Although it improved in the second half this strategy was not as effective as, say, sagging on the wings and digging/doubling the post. make this team beat you from the outside. the zone was moderately effective, but a loose man may have looked even better. all in all a gritty win against a big, disciplined opponent (and a cover).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457128413313589915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-70777554499183169042010-11-18T16:42:42.023-06:002010-11-18T16:42:42.023-06:00One supplemental point.
