I disagree. They are probably overall a better team than us and they barely won.

I'm not saying I'm against a change in the game plan, but the OP makes it sound like the game plan we had didn't work. I thought we looked good against them and St. Mary's looked like a really good team that pulled it out at the end.

This would likely result in them raining down threes on us.

However, I do agree we need a different game plan than what we tried last time.

Exactly. Bennett dominates us every year. We need to throw something at him

I want a small adjustment. I think we can come after Landale harder

JuicyJam

I think we should front him more. They didn't have much success when we fronted.

Go 3 2 zone and kill them with length. When duke plays this teams struggle

Lakerone

1/22/18 12:14pm

I'll pass on any zone vs SMC. We don't practice zone enough to play it against

I think Dastrup should start over Worthington anyway.

SlippinJimmie

The last matchup Worthington was a better defender then Dastrup by far.

On Landale???......Dastrup was the only one that could slow him down

It's amazing how much you see what you want to see.

bstod

1/22/18 4:13pm

In the paint, yes. But only Worthington made him work to get set.

For me watching at the game I could see space between Landale and Dastrup

Nixon isn’t conditioned well enough to start and play many minutes

The defensive game plan against St. Mary's was working

Remigius

1/22/18 12:30pm

We gave them open looks the entire game, they just made them later in the game.

bstod

1/22/18 12:34pm

Yeah, they were wide open all game.

SlippinJimmie

1/22/18 12:38pm

There were some open looks but at least we were closing out on our man. In the

BYUheaven

1/22/18 12:39pm

Yeah, it was obviously terrible down the stretch.

bstod

1/22/18 12:40pm

Yep.... Just something for a shooter though to have space but know your man is

BYUheaven

1/22/18 12:45pm

Krebs had some WIDE open ones, but you're right.

bstod

1/22/18 12:49pm

The biggest offender was Yoeli. We went with Worthington and Dastrup defending

Haws got extremely lost twice and Jahshire and Cannon once in the last

Iirc haws didn't get lost at all in the last 5 mine of reg

According to the play-by-play, SMC only made two threes in the last seven

BerkeleyCoug

1/22/18 1:30pm

I mostly agree.

thebruce

1/22/18 2:44pm

Haws has been pretty impressive on defense this year

Dr T-bone

1/22/18 4:08pm

This is correct, haws was covering other players who got lost

BYUheaven

Brilliant

We'd get run outa the building quick. Yoeli's a more viable option at 3 than

Actually their lineup that gave us the most problems in 2nd half was big...

What you are describing is what makes Bennett an elite x's and o's coach.

thebruce

1/22/18 5:03pm

a big difference in the last game vs SMC came down coaching philosophy...

One problem with Dastrup is ...

History shows that Rose will go small if he thinks he can get away with it.
