[QUOTE="Rowdypkunk, post: 1251726, member: 619389"] I don't think it had much to do with your 3 pt defense specifically... Here's what I think caused this... 1. Your defense for the most part in the paint was really good & we couldn't figure out to beat the Zone. Plus the injury to Lewis hurt & Williams clearly wasn't 100% coming back from the virus.... and those 2 are our best players at attacking the zone. 2. There was absolutely no communication on our end on offense.... case & point.... did you see the play where Doughty (#2) tried to throw it up for Tillman (#4 with the Fro) for a dunk (similar to what we did to Princeton).... Tillman & Burgess both tried to go up for it... and while I believe we still got a bucket out of it... they obviously were not communicating... and it showed on many plays. 3. The "offense" we were running after that 11-3 start (even before Lewis' injury).... reminded me of the "Shaka offense" when he was at VCU..... Pass the ball on the perimeter for the first 20-25 secs of the shot clock & then chuck up a 3. Basically what it boiled down to was... Y'all weathered that early storm, battled back, took the lead... survived the few "rumbles" when we tried to come back & won the game. Similar to what we did to Princeton the other night. Your guys just wanted it more than we did... plain and simple. [/QUOTE]
