Three things I noticed yesterday. First George could’ve gotten to the hoop against that little guard so many more times and he was not as aggressive as often as he could’ve been.   Also, when he did get to the hoop, there was nobody trailing for a drop off or an offensive rebound. Especially in the first half, we got zero help at the basket. George can only do so much without cutters.

Freeman’s shot selection sometimes leaves a lot to be desired.  He goes to his fadeaway when a jump stop and baby hook would be preferable.  I still am worried about our interior defense getting big boyed against better teams (and picking up fouls).   It has been rare, but Freeman was a no show battling on the glass.

Finally on efficiency, I’m watching team after team put up 100 points and we have not cracked 90 yet.   I’m not sure our points per possession, but it does seem that we waste too many opportunities.   We are certainly not playing at the old Virginia pace where it would be understandable.

The key to the season will be how well George and Kingz increase their contributions as they get more comfortable.   The last game they both gave incredible effort with OK results.   Both are capable of putting in games like Donnie and Anthony.   When (if) we start getting 25 to 30 points from them rather than 15-20 we will be cooking.
