Feeding the bigs
February 8, 2010 10:57 AM
I can see where BP might get frustrated trying to get around all those screens, and Tis have trouble following Nankivil out to the perimeter. But what about the other way? With Leuer out, who does Wisky have to stop either Tis or MD down low? Their bigs may be a tad stronger than ours, but not quicker. Usually the trouble with Tis is stronger and faster opponents -- a la Draymond Green. I think feeding our bigs will exploit an advantage we have. And I think our two frosh guards have a quickness advantage over whoever will guard them.
Wisky doesn't have the athletes Sparty (or OSU, for that matter) has, but they do rely more on shooting threes. I believe BW must tell our guys to stay with their man (at least past the arc) and not worry about the penetration. They generally don't do it that much, although Bohannon did it some against MSU, in what now looks like a big off-day for Sparty, given their inspired performance against us.
