1. We need some 3 pt shooters. Ennis , Fair and Gbinije should be working heavily on their 3 pt shots. They all have many open look opportunities. There is no reason why they can't knock them down. Each game, we should get five 3 pointers made by any combination of these three guys plus whatever Cooney gives us. Why does every other team have at least 3 shooters and we rely only upon one who is like a flicking bulb - on and off . We are not going to win the tournament without several productive three point shooters.

2. Keep up the quicker pace that we finally saw in the first half. Ennis was actually pushing the ball up and not putting the team to sleep. Put a little spark into our step. The only time Ennis should walk the ball up is after a basket has been made.
3. Feed Christmas in the post far more than we do. He has his man sealed off and hardly ever gets the ball. Give him a chance to make his shot productive or to draw in the defense and pass it back out. We will need his offense in the tournament.
4. Ennis needs to be much more active on offense. Driving and shooting. Can't wait for everyone else to step up.
5. Need to mix in some more posting up of our fowards. All of our plays don't have to start so far away from the basket. We also need to mix up the way Ennis gets into each half court set. It looks the same each time. The other teams are easily extending out the double team and Ennis is not getting rid of the ball fast enough to hit the open man.
6. Cooney needs to mix up his offense. He is a great foul shooter. He needs to dribble , pop and shoot two pointers in the paint. The only thing he does now is catch a pass outside the circle, takes four driblles and passes it back.
You can disagree all you want with this list. But I think everything on this list is quite achievable and would operate to substantially increase our offensive production.
