my post game thoughts:

-  JG looked a bit quicker and was trying to play smarter (still had a few brainfarts)...2-10 is just not good enough though.

- Shot selection was a bit better. and there are always gonna be shots that get blocked or good plays by defense etc...but it is very key on offense.  AG did a few crazy 3s but overall getting better.  Want to see more interior passing.  Buddy needs to pass better.  he puts his head down and his teammates are wide open.

- 9 wins when outrebounding opponents.  5 losses when being outrebounded.  stats coming into the game.  first win when not outrebounding.  fix this and the team will be better.  #1 reason to stop playing zone, imo.

- why do opposing bigs look like all americans against SU???

-  the zone is asking too much of the 5.  hoping that marek or even edwards can get up on the catch at the top of the paint AND deny the pass to the short corner is impossible.  Overall...the zone is giving up EASIER shots...the EASIEST shots possible.  It is supposed to give up harder shots.  in theory.

In practice...[B]it gives up wide open dunks and open 3s[/B].  its not working. the defense needs to give up more difficult shots.

- the entry pass to the low post is HARD for these guys.  They can barely get it into QG when they want to.  need to work on this.

- can marek play with his back to basket? i only see him with the ball facing the hoop.  I would pass him the ball in the low post...with the first option of passing.  inside out 3s are the best.

Interior ball movement can help the offense be even better.
