This will be a beatdown. but get ready for Duke
As overrated at Duke is, I doubt they keep losing games at Cameron Indoor. Especially to teams nursing all sorts of various injuries to their best players.
Lets fight through this stretch without David and we’ll be better for it on the other side of things when he returns.
Refs will make sure of that.
I hope TT was at minimum a wake up call for Tyler. The NBA ISO offense is cool and all, but we aren’t going to win the talent battle in every single game.
Ball screens are so prevalent in CBB for a reason — they work.
Plus you’ve got some fantastic pick and pop bigs. Just play to your strength.

This is a great opportunity to feel out the offense and decide what we want to be going forward. Odds are Duke is going to be rough for us, but then we have a pretty long break before the UConn game. That starts with SHSU.
I agree. I would keep the same offense as last season and just plug QC into the Wagler spot and let him initiate off the high ball screen.
I go back to playing a slow half court pace and get Stojakovic in ISO, or QC off high screen, Tomi post ups, and the occasional drive and kick out to our shooters (Brown/Zens). LW can be in the dunker spot hunting offensive rebounds.
I honestly don’t know why he changed the offense when we brought back a lot of either the same or similar players
On defense i liked the trap they showed out of zone, and baiting TT into some mid range 2s. Try playing zone more. We got long tall mostly slow players. They aren’t playing to their strengths by chasing quicker players around or playing a drop coverage
