Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 4935038, member: 889"] The more I think about it, the more I think our defensive gameplan has to involve a good amount of double-teaming by our guards on LeDee, especially when Clingan is out, but even when he's in. SDSU is a bad outside shooting team. The way you beat double-teams that use a guard to help the big is by passing to the perimeter and either taking the immediate shot or getting a hockey assist. But if you don't hit 3s the defense isn't punished for the double-team. It's a little risky, since an underdog getting uncharacteristically hot from 3 is one way you increase the variance, which favorites generally don't want to do, but on the other hand it also helps mitigate one of the other big risks, which is Clingan getting into foul trouble trying to defend 1 on 1.
