[QUOTE="Get yourself a new map, post: 2025178, member: 747920"] I want to see something that, even if it gives up some open looks, does so in a manner that forces the opponent out of rhythm offensively. I get we don't force turnovers but jeez make some guys catch the ball in spots that aren't so familiar to them. A great example I saw last night: With our ball screen drop so deep, we force Elijah Hawkins to keep the ball and get into the paint before either trying to hit a floater or dishing to the roll guy near the basket (this area will be congested but Payne caught a lot of tough passes like this - kudos to him). I want to see us, just a few times, hedge or trap Elijah and leave the roll guy wide open to catch the ball, on the move, 16 feet from the basket. ESPECIALLY if the roll guy is Parker Fox or some other player who rarely creates points that far from the hoop. The below play ends in a lob dunk for Payne because we allow the point guard to make the final decision. If we stop the ball at the SF logo, it goes to Payne in the circle and then it's on him to drive, shoot, kick, etc. It's maddening because we are getting torched again and again; and like 30 minutes before this I watched NU hold Maryland to 20 total field goals doing exactly this. And I watched Nebraska destroy Minnesota this weekend doing exactly this. And I watched Nebraska destroy Penn State two weeks ago doing exactly this. [ATTACH type="full"]31620[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
