What exactly was our offensive plan today? I didn’t see many ball screens and thought we were a 3 point shooting team? Hard to get open when you’re not setting screens. We looked completely baffled out there todayI felt like Barnes and team were not fully committed to the game plan today. Stuck between shooting 3s and taking mid range jumpers. Pounding it down low for kick out 3s.
Villanova defense was also really good.
We need to move better off the ball and get the ball moving. We had way too much isolation today. Granted, no one can stay in front of Chandler one on one but it isn’t just one on one. Nova had quick help and everyone else would just stand and watch. You have to work the ball into the paint to have a successful offense and that can happen off the dribble or by throwing it into the post. I think Chandler off the dribble is definitely our best option but the other guys need to work to an open spot, cut to the basket, look to rebound if Chandler shoot, or at least something besides standing around. We did miss a lot of 3s today but we didn’t work the offense to generate an open 3 on most of those. Most were people standing around, D isn’t up on me (possibly be design), so why not? Once we got cold it seemed even the few that were good shots didn’t fall as it was in our heads and we weren’t confident. That’s my 2 pennies anyhow.Definitely didn’t play well.
He’s good but he needs to learn to make smarter passes and not force shots that isn’t there.
Better to have games like this early. Learn, improve and become a better player come tourney time.
Learn more from losing than from winning. (You obviously learn from winning too....but you get the point)
