Our offensive gameplan stinks and there's really very few set plays that we run. It's the same 3-man weave up top and the pick and roll, followed by a launched jump shot or occasionally Malachi driving. Teams that play tough, physical defense will destroy this offense. And when Roberson isn't rebounding, we really struggle to score. This program used to get out and run, getting easy transition points, but that's gone the way of the dodo. I'm sure that's partially due to the defense, rebounding and lack of a shot blocker, but without guards that can and will push the ball, it's almost impossible to get the easy buckets.

Also, sitting back in the zone against coaches/teams that know how to break it down is just insanity. If the opposition struggles at the start of the game, everybody in the building and watching on TV knows they'll eventually start succeeding against the zone. The 2-3 is great against teams that are unaccustomed to playing against it, but against the Pitt, L'ville's, etc, it's just window dressing.
