Pac 12 Sunday

I don't think it is entirely on the shooters being slow. Tudor has one of the quickest catch and releases I have ever seen. I think it's as much about the passers lack of court vision and recognition open players. It takes them too long to recognize the open players. There high turnover rate also gives evidence to that. It will help when Slocum becomes eligible next season and can play the point. Pivic hasn't played the point since the 7th grade and it shows.
Agree, it has nothing to do with OSU's shooters being slow. It has everything to do with OSU getting into their offense. When your pocket is picked consistently in the back court, and/or, you use 15 seconds of the shot clock just getting your 1st pass in your set offense, it doesn't leave time to find the open player, or, make that extra pass to find an open shooter who has enough time to square their feet and shoot. Rueck changed up his press break by having OSU's center as an option to inbound or be a back court pass target. In addition the center (just like in men's basketball) jogs up to front court as the point guard follows behind. This will help the Beavers get the ball into the front court. I'll be at the Friday OSU vs UO game, at Gill Coliseum. Should be fun.
