Message: [QUOTE="InKembaITrust, post: 4246877, member: 6729"] The kid did play an unbelievable game, which pisses me off because he had [U]zero[/U] class towards the end. AJ did a half-decent job on him and should have remained on him the entire game. Tyrese struggled to defend him. Very excited for AJ to continue being a shutdown defender and guarding every team's best player next year. Sanogo struggled again, partially because this team is offensively flawed with a lack of outside shooting. If you're not going to play Akok or Hawkins, it is what it is. NMST crowded the paint and CLEARLY studied/stole their gameplan from Creighton who beat us twice (a formula that worked so they copied it). Hopefully, a game like this adds to Sanogo's motivation to improve and increase his killer instinct. A blocked breakaway dunk, a missed bunny at the rim, a horrible foul on a 3-point shooter, just too many mistakes from our best player. Surround this man with shooters next year to give him some breathing room. If he can develop a consistent 18-foot jump shot he'll be even scarier to gameplan for. We all should've known going in the construction of this team proved to be very one-dimensional on offense, which won't get you far in a single-elimination tournament. Learn from it, keep building, I have faith in Danny and the staff. On to next year. Thank you, Isaiah and Tyler. [/QUOTE]
