A week of practice before we face Creighton.

[Palatine]

What would you work on? Rebounding. Shooting. One on one defense. Yes, of course.

I might work on plays that get Reed into the offensive flow. He hasn't seen the ball as much recently. Make sure his scoring touch is in form. Solo Ball's recent jump is sure to be noticed by our future opponents and he will garner more attention. Plays to get him open will be critical. Calhoun's double screen comes to mind.

I might add a wrinkle or even a couple of new inbounds plays. Especially something that gets the ball in and attacks the press.

 

[InKembaITrust]

High pick-n-roll to draw cockbrenner out of the paint and force him to play D on guards away from the basket.

Calhoun’s circle play.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

3Pt defense. Having two ball handlers playing at same time (Nowell and Diarra) when we are working clock.

 

[Hunt for 7]

High pick-n-roll to draw cockbrenner out of the paint and force him to play D on guards away from the basket.

That is the best wrong spelling of a players last name that I have yet to see on the BY. Even if it was on purpose. And we have had some good ones.

Well done InKemba

 

[Huskyforlife]

All defense, extra sage burning for the ankle.

 

[HCCForever]

Better end of half plays.

 

[REB1094]

If you get in foul trouble, you lose. DEFENSE. WITHOUT. FOULING.

Creighton will funnel everything into Kalkbrenner. Either have to rain threes or try to get him out of the paint

 

[bendm]

Practicing Nowell running the offense

 

[husky99]

Steals steals and fast break....over and over and over

 

[Husky68]

Opponents scheme to push out our movement and penetration and force later clock shots. As part of this they want ball in HD/Nowell's hands with 10 seconds or less on clock while face guarding potential pass recipients. They are not Newton who could make his own plays. Ball needs to get out of their hands when gets later in clock and whoever gets it from them should not just pass it back.

There is reason so many end of clock plays have HD with ball, opponents play to force that.

 

[gtcam]

Perimeter Defense and stress the importance of driving to the hoop and not settling for the end of clock jump shot

 

[6Nattys4Us]

No doubt Hurley and co will be planning how to limit Kalkbrenner just like he planned to limit Dixon.

We will need to body him and keep switching so he receives the ball in 2pt land but far enough from the basket that he will need to go 1:1 to get the hoop else pass. Figure Johnson, Reed, Jr., and even AK will be involved.

 

[dtrumpet]

getting the ball inbounds from the baseline.

 

[huskyharry]

High pick-n-roll to draw cockbrenner out of the paint and force him to play D on guards away from the basket.

I’ve never seen that happen. He seems to play drop coverage against every opponent. Now if Solo and Maybe Aidan can drill multiple foul line extended jumpers that might cause them to change defense
