This is that same type of game that pitt used to run.
#1. Spread the floor by hitting 3's.
#2. Dribble drive/ find the passing lane/ and get the dish pass into the low post.
#3. Anticipate where the offensive boards are going to go and box out a bit to get them (including the long bounces).
#4. getting to the line for 30 ft's should raise the fg% another 5%
Coach has done a very good job with this young team. They shot an average of 21% in 4 losses from the perimeter.
Last 2 games they have been on fire.
Now we need a defensive lineup to get stops. Hughes/Dolezaj/ and Buddy or Girard will give us enough looks to try to get some defensive stops at the same time.
My main point. We Got to have a physical long guard to cut the entry passes and slow down the drives, and Guerrier and Dolezaj would make us really long for ball/pass denial, and both are willing to take a charge and would get some steals. Edwards can give us 10 minutes now. Yes, Its a risk giving him ten, but not making a small defensive adjustment on a night like this does nothing to slow them down. We never got inside 8 in the second half.
