Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4224287, member: 1047"] I don’t get it. Creighton doesn’t hedge,hounds Cole, and packs the lane , and yet for a good portion of the game we insisted on force feeding a packed lane. I also don’t know why Whaley didn’t take 10 threes today. He took a few but they weren’t the right ones. The right ones were early in offense where they played 10 feet off him while he is standing with the ball waiting 10 seconds for Cole to shake a face guarder for a handoff You have to make them pay for the sag and we certainly need to make them pay for the cole overplay the last 10 minutes. When 2 guys are hounding like that 2 guys are open but yet we insisted on taking 10-15 seconds to accomplish a handoff to Cole. Now I understand the ball needs to be in his hands, but so does McD. Have to throw a wrinkle or two in both cases to keep them honest. Sometimes we run stuff like we are doing a homework assignment rather than flowing attack of what D is giving. All in all after a terrible start, we showed fight. That’s a plus. The AJ turnover after we cut it to 1 had all the momentum and the ball was a killer. They ran it right back to 5 . Not a great game from him. Even though we tied it again later in the 1/2 it didn’t feel like we were getting over the hump like the chance we had in the earlier stretch. Tough game. Played with some guts. Got banged up. Hope hawk is ok. Gotta take the L and make sure to grab Saturday and hope hall takes creighton. [/QUOTE]
