The problem is, if you go back and watch, when Clingan stayed in near the paint, Nunge just took and made a wide open 3, because nobody was guarding him.  It seems Hurley talked to him because the next time, Clingan came out on Nunge to prevent that, and Nunge drove past him for a layup.  DC didn't play much after that.  He just doesn't really have the footspeed or recovery ability to guard any quicker big on the perimeter.  He can come out part way on smaller guys and use his length to alter shots at a greater distance.

He will need better help D, the team help D was awful vs Xavier and they did a horrible job of fighting through/around screens.  That was the real issue. Hurley hates giving up 3s, so our guys will never go under a screen.

If we're going to leave him in the paint, or Sanogo, then we need to choose to ignore the outside threat from the 5 (which is what teams do to us, letting Sanogo take those 3s).  Danny seems unwilling to do that when the 5 can shoot.

Tonight we get Croswell, and he's a perfect guy for a big dose of Clingan.  Castro won't shoot either. Moore can theoretically take them, but we should let him.

There are a handful of guys in the Big East who are a bad matchup for Clingan: Kalkbrenner, Freemantle, Nunge, Dixon, Slater.
