Take advantage of their size. a. Offensive Rebounding- Roberson, Gbinije, McCullough, Christmas should be able to dominate b. Feed the Inside and then kick out to the perimeter. - Buzz likes to crowd the paint defensively. c. Get to the FT Line- Take the ball in strong (don't bring ball down) against smaller team 2. Limit turnovers- Teams are averaging 15 TO against VT 3. Take wise shots. * Its OK to run-over that bald 6-man that comes onto the court each game!! He is like refs in football, part of the field! [B]Defensive Keys for an SU Win [/B] 1. Take advantage of their size. a. Defensive rebounding (VT out rebounded in each of their losses) b. Block shots- (score 50% of their points in the paint) 2. Force turnovers by pressing immediately. (WVU got 37 points of TO, giving up avg 15 points on TO) 3. Take advantage of their FT shooting. (56.9 FT%)- When in doubt foul them (except Christmas) 4. Forwards and guards have to protect the 3 and top of the key. (VT shoots 41.2 3PT%- averages approx. 6 for 15) * Don't allow a Davante Gardner performance like in 2013!! [/QUOTE]
