Anybody watching this - instead of throwing the ball around the perimeter like we do - they continuously drive and kick - sometimes 3 to 4 times on one possession until somebody gets a clean look from 3. With Hamilton and Adams and an improved handle by Purvis there is no reason we shouldn't be able to run this kind of offense. Gives us the option of an alley pop to Brimah as well. Such a pleasure to watch.

You need players to catch the ball in rhythm, and then not pump-fake away good shots.
We got plenty of drive and kicks (granted, not as much as EWU tonight), we just never did anything with them more exciting than a pump-fake/travel combo.
Some of that was because we only had 2-3 players at any time on the court that the defense couldn't collapse off of. It's less about dribble handle, and more about the spacing.
