Message: [QUOTE="Conndog, post: 4514534, member: 5939"] I'm not sure what is wrong. If we had one of those big aggressive scoring forwards that the other team lately always seems to have, I don't know if they would have the same success playing for us as when they are playing against us. Somehow, these last 6-7 games the other team has open space to operate near the basket. Is it just that our front line defenders aren't doing a good job stopping penetration? Is it because we don't always have 5 credible shooters in the game, which lets the other team to clog area around the basket? These top Big East teams seem to have 5 players who all can make the outside shot which opens up things for them. The screens that free their shooters have been tough to defend- do we have the personnel to use the same strategy? I just can't understand what needs to change to win again- maybe having Jackson start on the bench is the best first step. [/QUOTE]
