Message: [QUOTE="orangepassion, post: 2929477, member: 14"] [LIST] [*]Very frustrating game on one hand, but encouraging on the other [*]Think we need to feed Battle more, particularly in the 1st half (though 1st half scoring wasn't issue in this game) [*]Obviously the foul disparity was frustrating. We should have been up by 10 at the half [*]Thought Chucky was okay, some touch fouls called on him and Dolezaj. Not sure what he was doing when he jumped on top of a UNC player in the 2nd half, though he at least hustles [*]We are way too dependent on the 3, particularly Hughes. It's great when we're hot, but we can never maintain and need to get to the basket more. The only one who does it semi consistently is Battle. It's not like they had Mutombo and Mourning inside blocking shots. [*]Not as down on Howard as some. He'll generally make a couple of boneheaded passes a game, but he gives you shooting and Defense. He actually might be our most consistent shooter outside of Boeheim in recent weeks. Like Hughes, he just needs to diversify his Offensive game more and drive to the basket to score or create for others. [*]Can't ask for anything more from Dolezaj or Boeheim. Dolezaj, in particular, continues to impress. Would have liked to see us try to backdoor Battle, as they were defending him very aggressively [*]Asked this last year, but still not sure why we send Chukwu to the perimeter to set a pick. The D totally ignores him and all it does is cause Battle (or whoever he's etting the pick for) to have 2 defenders instead of 1. I liked one time when Battle told Chukwu to stay away and give him space before nailing the shot. [*]Brissett is finally finishing at the basket, but now can't hit anything from outside 12 feet. Agree that the free throw issue is his head at this point. He'll eventually overcome it, but hope it's soon. Can we agree that he's not allowed to shoot another 3 until he at least hits 2 free throws in a row? Put on the red light. [*]Is there any doubt that Battle is our best player? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
