Chief’s Briefs - Texas Edition

[Chief00]

Just rewatched the game. Looked to me like Braylon camped out in the corner an awful lot in this game. hard to set screens for someone who isn't moving

I agree, and my guess is it was by the coach’s design to spread the floor. The problem with that is that Reed’s not 100% and even if he was Texas had a very tall and physical center.

I heard that from Hurley too and it makes sense. I noticed Mullins run straight into white jerseys a handful of times last night.

Either way, at this point I’m shocked when he misses. I laughed out loud at one of his jumpers last night because this kid seems automatic.

Enjoy watching him play. I hope we see Mullins play healthy for a good stretch.

The dribble penetration is often a result of a mismatch on the guard dribbling, a mismatch rooted in the high hedge.

The penetration occurs when we drop.

Somehow ball needs to be in Mullins and Balls hands at end, until Silas gets straightened out and is the dependable lead we need(poetry!)
Karaban is suspect at the line also.

Alex Karaban has shot 84% from the free throw line in his career. I guess that makes him suspect at the line? What the heck do you want from the guy

The penetration occurs when we drop.

But we are in mismatches by then due to the high hedge switching.

That’s the first time I’ve read “penetration” so many times in a basketball forum!

Alex is good enough at the line at crunch time. Not perfect but good.

He's 16-19 for 84.2%. That's a low amount of attempts but not sure what the two of you are expecting. 19-19?

They want him to be shabaz

I said Alex was good but not perfect from the line. 84% FT aligns with that assessment. I consider the 80% - 86% range good. Upper 80’s very good and above 90% perfect (excellent).

I think that rhis was the 1st game where there were 2 passes to no one in the 2nd half the I have witnessed in any recent Husky game. Just bad passes or each the result of not understanding of the called play?
