The boys seem to be making the game too hard on themselves on offense. The guys, other than Marek, seem to be having a hard time seeing the right play to make.

Today, not that there were many opportunities, but we rarely attempted to advance the ball up the court at an accelerated pace like the last few games. It was forcing multiple defenders to react to the ball and in sync with one another, which tended to cause problems and open.some things up for a few more easier baskets. Even after makes, we were not walking the ball up like Frank loves to do, today we did and the D was sitting there waiting for us.

Also, we seem to never drive around, pump fake and side step for an open 3, or even accept what would most likely be a foul for 3 free throws when defenders are aggressively closing in on us out past the 3-point line. Instead, they want to contort their body out of the way and shoot with some awkward form. Then, when we do drive on such an aggressive defender coming hard, we tend to run smack into their big and force up an awkward shot or fumble the ball away. Never seem to be able to dump it off for an assist on a layup(our spacing tends to suck), kick it out to a guy wide open, or make the D react to a couple of passes until someone does have an open jump shot.
