Haven't fed the post since Rakeem. And Boeheim only allowed that because there was no other option. We are doomed to this ridiculous iso offense until retirement.Nova switched on every single ball screen...
We don't have the guard play to run on ball screens. I'd like to see more screening away - weakside screening, shooters curling off down screens and vacating. Jesse can post up if the D switches on those screens. That entry pass would be easier than hitting him on rolls in traffic.
JB is clearly trying to get Jesse more touches. If this offense is to get better, he is a big part of the answer.

Screens yes. But watch the defenders on the other guys. No help needed.
this was the most concerted effort to get the ball to Jesse/post that we have seen. that was literally the play call the first 3 times down the court. if Jesse was stronger, it would have been very effective.Haven't fed the post since Rakeem.

We don’t have a on the bench if Benny is playing as terribly as he has. That’s a problem.When our shooters aren’t making shots JB has to get them rest and have them watch a little. There is no reason for a 3-15 Buddy needs to play 38 minutes and a 2-7 Cole needs to play 39. If you aren’t going to use your bench in games like this when our shooters are so off then what’s the point? If JB “can’t trust his bench” again then that is on him recruit or develop better
Benny was literally backing away from the basket to let everyone else get dirty. He’s athletic but he doesn’t actually use his athleticism.If you want those boards we didn't you gotta get Benny going. The majority were about hops and athleticism overall.
Yeah I feel like I’m watching different games than others…feeding the post isn’t the issuethis was the most concerted effort to get the ball to Jesse/post that we have seen. that was literally the play call the first 3 times down the court. if Jesse was stronger, it would have been very effective.
Or a guard for that matter. And backup C is iffy too.We don’t have a on the bench if Benny is playing as terribly as he has. That’s a problem.

Na. I'll watch every game, go to a couple, and grow more disappointed with slow deterioration of the program probably.Sounds like you will have time to pick up a new hobby the next few months.
Benny is struggling to adapt and with his confidence. He is very talented - hoping he puts it all together at some point. he could be another one of those players who looks like a different player after a year or 2 in the program. hope he hangs in thereWe don’t have a on the bench if Benny is playing as terribly as he has.

He’s our best bench player right now, but it’s only because the other two actively hurt us. He’s just our typical big man that’s only out there to serve as an occasional screener and hope he survives defensively until Jesse can come back in.Eh Frank plays fine. Nervous on offense but at least he tries to board
it's tough to swing it around when defenders are not playing off their man in help position. to my eye, we need to have constant off ball motion and screening. Buddy, Joe and Jimmy should never be standing still when they don't have the ball.Something to note on iso ball-
Nova was playing the ball handler mtm with no help even on switches. They were sticking to the perimeter guys to prevent the open kick out look. The assist is the second or third pass. We were winning the 1 on 1 with Jimmy a lot but not looking to swing it enough. It's something absolutely JB needs to correct going forward.
