Message: [QUOTE="Scottobot, post: 4568377, member: 12452"] As usual good analysis by Chief. If we shoot 12-15 from FT we win. Despite Hawkins having an unusual bad shooting night, and meltdown by Andre we still had 3 or 4 wide open 3s in last 2 minutes that would have won the game. The loss highlighted the one weakness of this team which is the lack of a player that can find a way to score when nothing is working. I don’t understand why Hawkins can not use how tight teams play him to pump fake and draw fouls. Hawkins needs to get crafty at getting to FT line. Fake a 3, duck under the guy and draw a foul. Karaban is the least tight player at crunch time. They need to run more plays get him shots at crunch time. Clingan was on a roll in second half, why did Hurley pull him? Especially with Andre in foul trouble. Andre needs to attack rim for his points. I don’t like him as the passer out on perimeter even though it works sometimes. He needs to be on the baseline because it pulls the defense into him to block him dunking, which opens up the outside shot for the teams best shooters. Go inside to Andre and let him pass back out to shooter. It seems like we regressed to January where Andre was PG hanging out on perimeter and not dunking the ball. It doesn’t work. Every time he dunks, he fires himself up and defense elevates to new level. Every time he misses a 3 he gets depressed and defense sucks. Get that man some dunks and we could win a championship. UConn is the more talented of these 2 teams, yet we lost 2 out of 3. [/QUOTE]
