[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1576160, member: 666858"] That was frustrating in many ways. Kudos to Maryland for staying together and continuing to fight for 40 minutes. They hit a lot of tough shots throughout the game. Get the ball to the big guy. Early, often, and throughout. This shouldn't be hard to figure out. When the big man gets touches, everyone gets more room. Kofi needs to be better at passing out when the defense collapses, but in his defense they didn't give him many opportunities to do so late. He tore the hearts out of the Wildcats just a few days ago, apparently the rest of the team forgot... I hate the mindset in close games that Ayo is just going to bail us out. This was a replay of the Rutgers game. They threw a lot of rangy athletes at Ayo and forced him left. He did not make an adjustment, and neither did the team. Just forced attempt after forced attempt. I'd rather see our worst player take a good shot than our best player take a bad shot. In some of the biggest moments of his career, Michael Jordan passed the ball to the open man. You don't have to make the shot to make the play. That's the next step for Ayo. [/QUOTE]
