At some point do we see Sanogo and Clingan on the floor together?

[CONN78SEJ]

I could see Hurley showing this near the end of the season, if for no other reason than to give other teams something else to have to gameplan for. Of course, what could a game plan for that possibly be?

Uh….you haven’t been watching much? Hurley has already experimented with this. Sanaogo, Clingan, Hawkins, Karaban, and Newton. I have watched several instances where the game was close when the coaches tried this and opposing teams were clueless on how to defend it. It really opens things up for Karaban and Hawkins. They can’t double team anybody.

I think your memory is failing you a bit.

You are “literally” wrong!!! Check out Florida, and Iowa State. Even in the LIU game they were briefly on the court together.

No they weren't. Unless you're trying to make some dumb joke about them being on the court together for a handshake line or something

All you have to do is look at Purdue who was in the same situation last year with Trevion Williams and Zach Edey who were both dominating. They both averaged around 20 minutes a game and played 9 possessions together the whole season

The main difference is that Purdue was clearly better with Edey.

I'm curious as to how many on here have forgotten our two most recent national title teams.

What I want to see (at all times) is two ball handlers (either Jackson and whoever is on the court as PG or two PG's).

We have sufficient evidence that (from many teams in many tournaments over the years) that worrying too much about height can be a recipe for disaster.

The Harrison twins offer their concurrence.........

Was it against Creighton where Sanogo missed bunny after bunny?

Nova in 2nd half of BET. We had a real shot at gaining separation up 3-4 points early in 2nd half , got a bunch of stops in a row and got Adama some really solid looks every trip, and just missed 'em.

That was brutal, if he just makes layups that game we would've opened the game up and won.

Some people say it was his finger bothering him but everyone is dinged up at the end of the season. He looked like he ran out of gas, I don't see that happening this season.

Yeah he definitely was tired at end of season last year. He is such a high motor guy I really like that DC gives him significant blows.

And clearly exacerbated by chasing around Samuels and their lefty. Which would be far more common at the 4.

I'm thinking you aren't watching games very much. Like TCF said... 3 minutes and 35 seconds. They've played something like 1 or 2 possession at a time in 2 games this year. Give me a break man. I have yet to understand why people who watch games on TV (and in your case... apparently not) think they know better than our coaching staff. The measure of success in basketball is wins and losses. We haven't lost yet. Take a seat.

Having Sanogo and Clingan on the floor is not good for spacing. It's for spacing. I'm not sure you understand how basketball works. If Clingan or Sanogo is on the floor, opposing defenders are planting themselves in the pain. NO ONE has spacing when that happens. It gets even worse if Andre is in the game.

Let's not forget that Sanogo trying to guard 6'6 power forwards is a recipe for disaster on defense too. Opposing coaches will salivate at the mouth if he's guarding their perimeter players. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clueless.

Let me say what I said in other threads:

Offense: #7 in the country.
Defense: #4 in the country.
Freshman: Outplaying their ranking by a country mile.
AP ranking: #3.
Computer ranking: #1 on every site.
Boneyard: We must drastically change our rotations and style of play. Our coaches clearly have no idea what they're doing.

Warm-ups? Handshake line?

Until the discussion evolved to mention that 3:35 of dual play has already occurred, this comment had sent me in a different ditection...

I thought of Clark Kent and Superman never having been seen together, and wondered if possibly Sanogo & Clingan are the same person.

Naahh!

For that to be the case, one of them would have to wear glasses.

This is one of the weirder hills to die on that I've ever seen on the BY. This isn't opinion, it's an objective verifiable fact that you've been given the data on down to the second.

 

[husky429]

You're going to need to review about 20 threads on this exact same topic if ypu really want to make the point you think you're making here. And that's considering I have half the clowns who spew this double-big nonsense on ignore.

Good effort though. It's supper annoying to have to quote multiple posts at once.

 

[HuskyFich]

Why the personal attack on 429? lol.
I think we all recognize the offensive sets are flowing beautifully at the moment, especially with DC and AS spelling each other.
I also think we all recognize we'd like to find 20-25mpg for Clingan and that's the only way how.
Both can be true.

If anyone thinks they're smarter than the coaching staff on rotations, I encourage you to dislike this message.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

I don't think Sanogo would want to give up the low post on offense. DC would probably be great in the high post. Entry passes to him would be easy and he could feed Sanogo. It's on defense that there is an issue. The opponent would have to play two bigs that both are not quick slasher types. Then it would work.

If they did do this I’d think that Sanogo should work the high post with his newfound 3 point shot and ability to put the ball on the floor. Plus DC is a lob threat. If Sanogo could pass the ball better… it’d actually be pretty helpful to have DC out there on offense.
