When your game plan is to feed the big man every time down, you won't be running sets for your outside shooters, so when the feed isn't open, your outside shooters will take improvised shots, and you get the result we got tonight.

And, so often when you miss a three, it results in an open three at the other end of the court, so when you miss 24 of 28 threes, you get the result we got tonight.

This was indeed a trap game, the trap being to relentlessly feed our big man rather than run our usual offense.  We took the bait lock, stock and barrel.  Fortunately, our talent advantage was such that the penalty was that we won by 20 instead of 40.

We must hope that Kansas was closely scouting the game and will make all the wrong assumptions based on what they saw.  They may conclude that DC is our whole offense and leave our perimeter open; they may feed their big man repeatedly in order to get DC into foul trouble, thereby screwing up their own offensive sets.  Whatever they conclude from tonight's game will be wrong and to our advantage.
