[QUOTE="IllinoisssssssVarsity, post: 1965017, member: 747262"] Overall I just can’t wait to see this team hit its stride. [USER=746153]@illini0440[/USER] heres the offensive breakdown I wasn’t in the head space to give last game. There’s a lot of flashes, even if the final product doesn’t always show it. For the most part I feel like our shot selection is about 1000x better than last year, and our offense looks like it will have good flow, we just need more in game reps to see and react to how teams will guard us. I’m a big fan of our point entries and split screen action (Princeton style stuff), and they way we move into DHOs, P/Rs and zoom reads from there. The defense has to make a lot reads and choices back to back to back, and the more you get them moving and thinking, the more they are likely to break down. The other good news imo is that this is basic stuff a lot teams are doing these days, and we’ve kept it pretty vanilla to open the season. There are natural counters and stuff built into the option reads, but we haven’t seen a whole lot of quick hitters or what I’d think are called counter plays. We seem to be invested in building our offensive foundation in real games and then expanding from there. To me that’s a great long term approach. [/QUOTE]
