This makes perfect sense to me.

A Concerned Fan
While a lot of you guys are calling this a "look ahead" game, you would have thought that this team would have learned from a week ago that there are no such games in the Big 10. I don't think you shove this off on freshmanitis these guys have played over 25 games and should know by now that they are going to get everyone's best effort.
I am also concerned why Oden does not get more touches. Those guys that are taking the 25' jump shots with over 20 seconds left on the clock are not playing very good basketball. That shot will be available any time even with under 10 seconds left on the clock. They should move the ball around a little more to see if they can get the ball to GO before jacking up a long-range missile. They can even get that shot if Oden does get some touches but gets double teamed. They need to make future opponents concerned about Oden's offense and their ability to also work the ball inside/out against a zone defense.
I thought that this team would have learned to play against a zone defense better after last Wednesday and that is why I cannot understand why Minnesota's brilliant HC did not play zone this past Sunday. I think that any team we play in the future, except Wisconsin, will start off in a zone and if we are hitting the 3s will go man-to-man.
Earlier in the thread, someone mentioned where was Hunter in the second half. I really don't know who you would substituted for him. I certainly would not have taken out Cook or Lewis for him during the last 20 minutes.
I guess I am very concerned about this team. I don't know if it's because of the personalities or just the fact that they are not playing up to what I expected them to show. I don't know. Maybe they will have their coming-out party against Wisconsin and Michigan and hopefully the NCAA tournament.

I agree with all of your points. He needs to try and get better position while the ball is being moved from side to side against a zone defense. The fact that he had guys all over him will probably never end in his college career. |
