Great recap, Tomcat.

I agree with you on Sims.  He always hesitated to move on Fab when he posted him up.  However, it didn't seem to matter because if he missed his shot he or another guy would get the put back.  Our rebounding was ass-tronomically bad.  I understand that bad shooting can lead to long caroms, but the poor rebounding went beyond that.  There were times where we had the ball in the air and had it swiped from us on the way down.  I had a great view under the GTown side basket, and we were just not strong enough with the ball when it came to the rebounds.  The GTown guys wanted it more and scrapped harder.  Fab's positioning on a few of the rebounds was awful.  We are shooting a straight on shot and he's caught under the backboard.  There is no way he can even think about getting a carom.  None.

As far as GTown's offensive plan, they did a great job of neutralizing Fab.  JT3 had one of his bigs always making post contact with Fab.  By doing so, it forced Fab to play that guy and reduced his ability to roam.  The other forward (usually #22) would move to the short corner and get wide open position to either shoot or attack.  If he attacked, it would create an imbalance on the floor.  GTown got a couple of threes up top when he dished it out.

I imagine we are going to see much of the same against Louisville.
