So the offense doesn't work

Since Hurley agreed with me about Seton Hall, your sarcasm looks even less clever.

Oh, I didn’t know he said that to support you, that’s cool.

For Seton Hall’s sake I should certainly hope they look much better than us right now. The huge majority of their minutes go to guys that are in their 3rd or 4th years with the program, which is a massive advantage in a world where tons of teams aren’t able to practice.

It’s the inverse of our problem with Carlton on D. He chased those guys outside, leaving the lane open. Smart defenders realize they can simply play that screener 5-6 feet back so they can recover to protect the rim. Hurley is trying to lure opposing centers out and nobody is taking the bait, because our guys can’t score from out there.

I would rather see us occupy the defensive 5 with a player who can seal him off one to side of the lane. I watch a lot of Kansas games and this is what I see them doing. Their offense is a hell of a lot more elegant than ours. If the center converges on the driving player, our C should now be open for an interior pass. if they do send the 5 out, you will see the wing cut along the baseline to the basket for an alley oop or back door pass. Our wings just stand there.

Exactly.
