[QUOTE="Deleted member 29907, post: 1597707"] Was reading some of their boards and it seems much of their O relies on opposing teams doubling down on Dickenson and kicking out if they do for open shots. One opinion is that they don't have a ton of players who can create their own shots - which i think was evident the other night. With Kofi able to handle HD by himself, that takes away a large portion of their O. By contrast, when teams do that to us - Kofi is not passing out. Last year, Feliz was able to convince Kofi to dump it to him near the lane for a bunny. We don't have anyone making themselves available for a short pass - and Kofi is basically bound and determined to score when he touches the ball. I am not sure how Mich adjusts since we have the ability to cover HD one on one and we defend the Pick and Roll very well by dropping down. We pretty much are a matchup problem for them with our quicker guards who handle the ball extremely well. If we face them again, we should keep the ball in TFs and ACs hands and let Ayo be a dump off shooter as he's not quite as quick off the dribble. [/QUOTE]
