Cant really complain about teams passing the ball around for 33 seconds

[STEVEHOLT]

And taking the air out of the ball vs our defense when you play zone.

What do you want the opposition to do? Play right into our hands taking quick shots thus extending the game?

Trick is to start quick and just get a lead even if its just a couple points, teams eventually start to panic...problem is we never start out quick...i know we have only 2 losses but it old easily be more and we havent dictated tempo in a longggggggg time

 

[STEVEHOLT]

we dont get out to quick starts because our best player rides the pine in the beginning of halves which cost us the last game and could cost us going forward

we seem to always have 2 or 3 points at the first tv timeout, its so annoying. for once it would be nice to knock down our first 3 of the game like the other team does to us 90% of the time.

it was a joke that dion didnt start the 2nd half, we wasted the first 5 or 6 minutes of the 2nd half without putting a dent in the lead with our best freakin player on the bench.

Our tournament success will be dictated by our offense. Plain and simple. Make shots and we win. Continue to struggle and we get bounced.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

i think getting out to early leads would suffocate the opposition. when teams are behind is when they start jacking up deep, contested threes and panic ensues.

start Dion sit scoop

Stallball only works when the game is within 6 points. If a team is down by less than 6 or up they will stall, but we get out to a 10-2 lead they can't play stallball. That is why we need to stop starting slow and get off to good starts. We all remember in 2003 we got off to awful starts against Manhattan and Okie State and had sweat those games. Against everybody else we got off great.
