Message: [QUOTE="realorange, post: 2522227, member: 292"] Conversation about how much Frank pounds the ball on the floor is interesting, but I'd like to see if Tyus didn't have close to equal time. The fact they had the ball on the outside so long is in good part because we have little in the way of big men that the opposition has to worry about. The double teams on Frank or Tyus last night were common because NC wasn't concerned about who else they might be leaving open. Next year with an improved big man lineup, you'll see Frank able to pass the ball inside and be able to drive more often. It was said over and over this year there were only 3 viable scorers. That makes it far easier for the opposition to choke off driving lanes and give priority to those 3 players. Instead of harping about all the downsides of players, I think it should be appreciated how hard they tried with what we had. Very seldom did they ever let up let alone quit trying. [/QUOTE]
