Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3859133, member: 489"] Agree with most everything you pointed out well done. I said pre-game we will see the guards take our guards deep, ball fake and try to use their bodies one on one to create scoring opportunities. I also said we need to STAY ON OUR FEET, not jump to block shots but use our length to make them shoot over us or pass out. When our guys stayed on the floor they passed it out or missed tougher shots. When we jumped they either scored or went the the FT after ball faking them into oblivion. Not sure why they weren't well prepared for exactly that or if they were, why they just aren't smart enough to take it from practice to the game? Either way it their guards killed us in backing down and penetration. Add to it they are now Duke so even if you go straight up defensively they will bore into you making the stripes call in even if incorrect. Loss was very painful to me as well, they just aren;t that good and even with the whining we're doing they only got 68 while living at the line. We should've been able to score the ball on them even with Bouk as a decoy. Tough to go from tourney back to hanging with Stanford and Utah State. [/QUOTE]
