Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3363368, member: 7748"] The December 20th game between ASU and Creighton looms large. After the Devils last home game CTT challenged her team in terms of film preparation and shooting practice. She indicated that the team is not investing enough time off the court and the amazing statement that in the game against Idaho State her team did not run 75% of the offensive sets correctly or at all. This partially explains the Devil's pathetic shooting to date. For the first time that I can remember in the preseason the Devils are being outshot including three-point and free throws. This is damning given the weak quality of the non-conference schedule. The Devils were very fortunate to beat Idaho State. The New Mexico game also looks like it will be a tough one and after New Mexico State I see the Devils losing to Creighton at home probably by double digits. I'm not sure there's enough time for the team to remediate their lack of film preparation and shooting in practice. We'll see. While the Devil's continue to struggle the UArizona (I know, silly, right?) Wildcats have overcome injuries and are performing at a high level. I acknowledge that their non-conference schedule (with the exception of the game in Austin) is weaker than the Devil's but they appear to be firing on all cylinders. McDonald and Reese are playing at all conference levels. That game on the 29th will be an indication how the Devils will perform in the conference. [/QUOTE]
