I doubt he "underestimated the intensity of Costco" and that was the reason he had a below average game. King was guarded closely by guards 4-5 inches taller than him, we never were able to establish a low post presence to get King some more open looks. To me this game comes down to us being able to adjust to the looks that VCU threw at us, such that our key players are given better opportunities to have a big bounce back game.
he was never guarded by Nelson, who played 37 minutes? sure about that?
And why we're we passive? Did the player just choose to play passive. We're they overwhelmed with the intensity of Costco, which seems to be your explanation.
if they overplay the perimeter, we should be driving. we should love a team overplaying the perimeter with the way we back cut. and keeping Quinn off the low block helps to open those driving lanes.
He's 7 ft. Put him on the block. I dont care what year it is. Good grief. We got smacked last time and you propose doing the same thing. Hope is not a winning strategy.
we're 20-7. I propose not scrapping a successful offense because it had a bad day once.
Right. Very akin to the Mooney line when we lose of "we just need to hit more shots". That is not a strategy, nor is hoping that King will just magically have a better game this time around or hoping he is better prepared for the atmosphere (which frankly is kind of insulting). It is his 5th year player college ball, I'm pretty sure he is "prepared" regardless of the environment.
our offense hums against bad defensive teams like URI, GW and LaSalle.
I said establish him on the low block. Make efforts to feed him the ball down there and then he can other look to score and use his size advantage or he can distribute.
two tough games coming up for them - I think they they either go 0-2 and all hell breaks loose or go 2-0 and end up in 3rd place. We'll see.
These guys are going to beat whoever they play. My guess is they don't care. Roll the ball out and let's go. Just win the NEXT game.
