DC needs to keep his defensive rebounds very high and pass from that position to start fast breaks. That has been completely missing from most of our offensive. He is bringing the ball down too low as evidenced by the purported elbow review of the St John's game and serious foul given which changed much of the game.

Diarra is great at starting the fast breaks but doesn't finish well.  He needs to pass to another breaking guard. Newton runs the offensive too slow and a 25 second clock resulting in rushed shots. Seems like we have too many guards that don't penetrate or can finish fast breaks. Joey & Hawkins can, I think.

I do agree with a 2/3 or 3/2 zone when the bigs are on the floor together if that even is to happen. I think early foul trouble prevented the coach from doing that in the past game.  The bigs can also set low screens for guard penetration. Other teams do that to us all the time with great success.  With another big on the floor that might not work as well for their guards.
