Duke ran tons of sets to get the inside 15' looks. SJU ran mostly 3 point offensive sets and it just didn't end well for them. That's Duke's game this year. Silas needs to step up and stop dribble drives as much as possible. Dumping down to Boozer makes me nervous re: Tarris' fouling.

...out how to attack. They did a good job of taking away the middle so the best way to beat it is to screen the top man and dribble right at a wing defender, force him to guard you. If you do this you will have a wide open 3 from either the foul line extended or the corner. We also run the old...

...is quite thickly built for a PG, he’s a surprisingly weak rebounder and he’s easily the team’s worst defender. Starting at the 3 is freshman wing Dame Sarr, who, outside of Maliq Brown, is Duke’s other elite defensive playmaker, averaging 2.3 turnovers forced per 40. Even when Sarr is not...

...slips while two man action concurrently occupies the weakside. It's made for a lot of easy layups on overplays and botched switches, since the wing defenders have to honor shooters on both sides. You'll see a lot of effective offensive design start initiated from the top of the key, because...

If Braylon leaves a scorer and shooter is an absolute priority. Someone who can get his when needed, if Cloer is that guy please come our way.

We still need a wing(s) with a lot more skill and athleticism. It would help if they can dribble a little bit too, for when we play against the SJU pressure. I don't like our lack of a sure fire high caliber NBA wing on the roster. Guys like Ray, Rip, Hawkins, Castle etc.

...to know that he won’t get big minutes day 1. We’re currently loaded with mostly senior Gs and Fs next year. He’ll have to earn it. The way he talked about UConn during recruiting makes me think he has the right mindset Wing depth isn’t a portal priority but if he wants a spot I wouldn’t say no

...but not nearly as imaginative as UConn's - most of their alignments start with big men at both elbows, where they'll either flare out to the wing to screen off the ball or continue to the top of the key to set a ball screen. It's probably closer to the flex offense than it is UConn's. My...

...in the heat of the moment players mess up details? It appears their 2G is by committee. The point here is to try and get Solo shots in locations where he can have some success. Especially early. We aren't trying to pull the wool over Izzo's eyes. If they tightly defend the wing, even better.

I’d like her to go. While both Paige and Arike tried their best to work together, I don’t see their playing styles as compatible. And of course, I’m biased for Paige.

The way Dallas’ cap space is going to work out, Arike almost has to go if they are going to get a good post and wing in free agency. Those 4 lottery picks will weigh heavy on Dallas’ cap space with the increase in lottery pick salary. I once thought Arike might stay. Now? I really don’t...

If she wants to stay in the Midwest, I could definitely see Minnesota. Michigan State would be interesting, as well as Iowa but I don’t think she’d go there. Missouri would be a pretty good fit, especially if Harper can draw another name or two out the portal to pair with Slaughter.

In my opinion, Olson is a very diversified offensive player who is an attacking wing. If she reminds me of anyone, it's a more physical Payton Verhulst/Sonia Citron.. Addy Brown reminds me of Leigha Brown, who was a workmanlike forward for Nebraska and Michigan. Solid, did dirty work, then...

Size and athleticism have to be the biggest concerns about this matchup. We will be at an athletic disadvantage, particularly if you assume that Silas is not near 100%.

I think you put Scott on Mullins and make Solo shoot his way out of the slump. If Solo catches fire, you can always switch. I think for UConn, while penetration all the way to the rim will be very difficult against Mich. St. Let's face it, they haven't excelled at that this year at all. I...

Buie - 2/15 Shannon - 2/12 Loyer - 0/5 Not sure who he guarded on SDSU, was Ledee who did any damage. Bama actually shot it lights out and still lost by 14.

Yes we have. Jordan Scott's size (6'8"SG) and wing span on our secondary ball handlers/ guards concerns me. Likely matched up vs Ball/Mullins with Fears on our PG on D. Athletic size has presented some problems for our SGs in the past. Their size up and down the roster allows them to be...

He’s been great defensively but Castle’s NCAAT run was on a completely different level. He absolutely erased the best scoring guard/wing for each of our opponents.

...However, inconsistent perimeter shooting volume affects their spacing, especially in their lineups with just three perimeter shooters, allowing defenses to clog the paint and making the offense feel stagnant at times. Overall, it’s a functional but not elite unit, with a high-ceiling when...

You mean Ross?

...Zoe and Zam are both more score first guards. That’s totally fine if you have a Saniya Rivers type who is content to be the facilitator from the wing - but State doesn’t have that. Everyone looking to create for themselves too much. And it was a poor defensive team too often. I’m very...

...Though IIRC Reed and Mullins didn't play in that scrimmage and MSU has gelled a bit since then. Feels like another game UConn will need Ross to play well in. He is probably the only healthy wing player UConn has that can match their 2-3 athleticism (OK nobody can match Carr's raw athleticism).

You meant Ross not Reed?

Speed and defense gives another dimension. It can be startling to an opponent. Off to the races in transition.

Agree, individual production and helping teammates be more preductive are two factors that must be part of someone’s playing minutes calculation. Alex now is shooting threes + 4.7% above last season and FG + 4.4% above last season. Ball is -11.8% 3pt% and -4.8% FG% below last year. With Ball...

...up to, because he's been missing badly when he's on the move. Today was rock bottom, his shots were wide open and stationary. 24/27% on the wing at this point of the season is enough data to just not shoot it from there if possible. No reason to toy around with this anymore and give him...

...Solo has been. I don’t expect that we’ll see Stewart back this year, but I’d like to see Dan Hurley keep Reed’s minutes up for as long as we go. If Solo’s somehow cracks out of his year long slump, great, but otherwise, having a big, active wing who is not soaking shots from AK, BM and TR is...

Right on time because they need another wing with size to battle with MSU

I am not sure about him starting games or not. Tonights game, however, he should have started the second half. We significantly outplayed them the last 14 minutes of the first half. Built the 5 point lead and felt like we had the momentum (even if we fumbled the last posession of the half.)...

Ross off the bench makes sense. We can see how the game is playing out and maybe where we need him defensively. Perhaps it’s Fears - or maybe Coen Carr is giving us problems on the wing. But he can come in with no fouls and try to be our cooler if someone needs to be cooled.

This team's best lineup right now is with Smith and Demary together in the back court, and Ross on the wing. Not necessarily saying it should start that way, bit that should be our most played lineup.

great take

Doing everything else was what got him drafted. Also his energy is infectious

Correct, which is why this only works if we move Solo to the bench next year. He mucks it up if he’s starting.
