The deep end: you have gone off it.

Point 1: We shot 17-21 from the FT line in the previous game, including 8-9 in crunch time.
Point 2: We have been crushing teams on the offensive glass. This is one of the best rebounding SU teams I can remember (although I admit they are tapping the ball too much vs grabbing it)
Point 3: Our fast break has been a deadly force. They had a few miscues tonight. That is not a trend.

Now onto what I agree with you on:

They have not done a good job feeding the post. Its a combination of poor positioning by Melo and a lack of interest by any G except MCW. 4 out of our last 5 games were not "cupcakes" so I will give them a pass on practicing this during game action. Hopefully they can work on it some in the cupcake games coming up.

I don't think you said this, but shot selection in the half-court has been poor. When we run a real play to get an open shot, we shoot about 70% on those possessions. When we don't (which was a lot of tonight) we shoot about 30%...
