Eh. This team, that's not so easy. It's the only defensive game plan against us and it's effective because we can't shoot.
I'd rather us drive the lane regardless.

That?s fine, but you will be driving against 4 guys. 3 are already there.

This is such a pro Pitt crowd and media team.
Defensively:
If Pitt regresses to the mean on 3s we win by 10. If we do not make adjustments on D and they continue to get open kick out looks and hitting them we likely lose. McNair has brought it defensively, sub him when we need crucial stops. Continue to dominate on the boards.
Offensively:
Have to figure out a way to get Tolu going. Refs are really hindering his game right now and it is very annoying. Shaq is on and so is Davis, they need to continue to drive and finish or kick out. Cam and DJ need to keep doing the dirty work. Rebound, put backs, drive and dish, draw fouls.
Stevenson and Murphy are offensive players. Sub them when we needs buckets.
Need good minutes and for Jones Jr. to get going.
Reed needs to be done for the night.
1 or 2 subs at a time max. Do not sub 4,5 all at once Jans.

No, difference in the game is Jans and his substitution patterns I have criticized this the entire year and tonight is the worse. If he doesn't play the starters virtually every minute of the second half, we will lose. Murphy, at this point of the year? He has been determined to get Reed, McNair, and Stevenson their minutes all year and it usually costs us. Our 5 minute plus dry spell was when he put in his mass substitutions. Starters were red hot and we were hot on O at the time. JMO.

You are not wrong. But by the numbers and statistically, what I said is correct.

Yea I really like Jans but this is an area of opportunity for him. Stans would do this sometimes and it cost us some bigger games back in the day. Not sure I really understand the way some of these coaches sub

Both teams shooting 3s well
State +14 reb
Pitt 6:2 assist to TO
State 7:8 assist to TO
If we take care of ball in 2nd half, we'll win imo

They couldn't really stop our guards from driving.
Move Tolu away from the basket and let Rams and Shak drive.

Our bench is going to help. All hands on deck. Murphy is my man. We will win this game by 6 after being up 10.

We aren't following the blueprint against Pitt. The scouting report is to give them 2's and take away the 3's.

Great point. If they stop calling bullshit charges on Tolu and Davis, we are winning anyway. That was a two foul 4 pt swing.

Like I said earlier. We need to extend out the D and dare them to take 2's. We also need to take the driving lanes they are giving us if they continue to triple Tolu down low.

Well then he needs to get Issac, Rumph, and Russell in as every other sub has their minutes for a participation trophy in the first half. Play the starters the majority of second half!

Murphy looks like he could be an elite shot blocker as a 4. Vernado needs to come and teach him the art of the blocked shot.
All you have to do is wait for the other guy to commit to the shot and then get up and block it. Dude has super long arms and is 6-10 or something. He should have 5 blocks a game in help defense.

Yeah, surprised the adjustments were not made 1st half but surely that is Jans game plan at halftime

They have made 3 3?s covered from Columbus and got fouled on 2 of them. If we fouled them they were covered. The 3 is our Achilles. If they keep making them, our appearance was Short and not so sweet.
