For real? My question of course is how can one say an offense that produces 24 lay-up attempts suffers from a lack of "offensive creativity"? I don't think one can in good faith.
All of those guys were at least in their Junior season right? Bouk is a sophomore in a short covid season. People need to stop expecting him to be Kemba and just be grateful we have another lottery pick under our belt
2 things. Hurley needed to recognize that and come up with sets that would punish it, probably with Martin, Whaley, Cole and yes, Polley, so that they would end up with open 3’s. And if he did that, than Bouknight did a terrible job executing it.
I agree with everyone, Whaley needs to shoot that 3 ball if he’s open. He’s earned the liberty to miss a few too.
A lot of those layups were acrobatic prayers or guards driving into bigs and getting blocked. That said, we missed probably six or seven bunnies that shouldn’t have been missed.
to me that was the disappointment. Not all close shots are easy as there can be a lot of limbs in the way or defensive presence. However, there were some blown opportunities such as Gaffney's bad pass on fast break to Bouknight and missed high layups or shots within 5 feet that were not highly contested that I thought should've been made.
I have nothing against Creighton and I will be pulling for them in the NCAA tourney. But I am going for GTown because I would like to see a 4th Big East team in the NCAA tourney.
"I agree with you" would have worked.
