Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 4807315, member: 1522"] This made sense in your head? Clingan controlled the paint that second half. Dickinson the 5th year national player of the year candidate blitzed him early with threes and then Clingan pretty much shut him down the rest of the game. We knew Dickinson drawing him out and making threes would be a problem and it was. What would you have Clingan do there? He's not a good defender of the three point line, he may never be. Dickinson is also the only 7 footer in the country who shoots like that. Put Karaban on Dickinson? Sometimes it seems like you don't even watch the game and rely on the narrative you have in your head. I don't put that loss at any of our players feet and it's bogus to do that but Karaban has trouble guarding athletic 3/4's. It's been a problem several times. I've yet to see Clingan have trouble controlling the paint defensively in his career. [/QUOTE]
