Message: [QUOTE="SlicinNDyson11, post: 3898814, member: 748"] Offensively it's going to be important to watch how many three pointers we attempt, Maryland as you said loves to switch, they'll switch almost everything one through 4, depending on their lineup one through 5. With their defenders sitting in driving lanes, it's going to be easy to fall in love with three's and with these guys they recover QUICK and contest. This was a massive problem for us against Villanova who obviously played a similar style of defense, we shot almost as many three's (27) as we did two's (28), for our team and how we want to play that is not a recipe for success. Other things to watch offensively, Sanogo against post doubles (his passing out of the post is still developing obviously has not been great against double teams), roll and replace with Polley (Maryland has struggled against this all year), and our screen game strategy specifically the usage of slips, multiple screens (screening the screener, double ball screens, double screen into a flare etc.), (Maryland occasionally has shown to have communication problems against this), and ghost screens (we'll run this with occasionally with Bouknight but it's typically a ghost screen into a flare screen, against Villanova the initial ghost screen would generate space for Bouknight but by running him off the flare we made it easier for Villanova to recover and switch by bringing the extra defender we need to either have the screener slip the flare in this situation or just ditch the flare all together, ditching it gives Bouknight more space on the catch).
