[QUOTE="Spoon House, post: 1346052, member: 645673"] *raises hand* I appreciate your breaking down what happened when we ran the actual offense. When Underwood was hired, I took the time to watch SFA and OSU offensive sets. The tale of two halves in our exhibition game, I thought even upon watching through periscope and later that guy's Facebook, could be summarized by the lack of organized spread offense. The first half wasn't 100% System, but there was some. And we did alright as a team, and some players did great. Kipper was on pace for something like 14 rebounds and 25 points (holy crap). The second half was putrid YMCA ball, even worse than Groce's worst halves. So some of you are free to dismiss apologists for the poor showing in this exhibition game - and, in fact, I am disappointed the team wasn't doing the things I'm sure the staff is telling them to do - but I bet the team got a vivid wake-up slap about what happens when they don't execute the gameplan. And then, yes, I'm sure Underwood may have raised his voice at them later and perhaps supervised a strenuous practice or two. What I'm actually concerned about after this minuscule n=1 sample is the lack of a floor leader and 0 Finke rebounds. [/QUOTE]
