Butler

[Chad Brendel]

Yes very true. You think we will full court press Butler for a lot of the game?

Mick did make a point to mention their lack of guard depth behind Lewis and Dunham in the media scrum yesterday. Getting them worn down could be key...

Pressing Lewis scares me. Seems like an easy way to give up transition points. I'd prefer a soft 2-2-1.

Outstanding transferal of shorthand notes over to real English and perfect spelling as well. Mick would be proud of you. Well done!!!

Actually mostly came from picking Hep's brain last year when they started running the zone. Wanted to understand the Xs and Os of what they were trying to do and where the brake downs could happen. It's called being good at my job...

Did Lewis not have to sit out after transferring?

He sat out last year.

I'm outstanding at my job, and I know all that stuff without picking Hep's brain. It's basketball. Why do you need to pick someone's brain?

I always find it interesting how opposing teams' fans feel leading up to a game.

Their Bulldog is smarter than ours, can we trade

Yet you couldn't point out that penetration was setting up the overload and leaving an open shooter in the corner. Right......

Let's hear your take on the 25 zone. Who created it, and why do teams struggle so much to solve it? What are the basic rotations that make it part man and part zone? Teach us, oh wise one...

You don't think Shaq got lost/had a defensive lapse/wasn't aware against SE Louisiana when that bum drained 3 3s from the same spot in the opening minutes? Why do you think Mick yanked him? Quadri has also been caught in no man's land a few times and his indecisiveness on who to pick up has cost us points. How is that not considered "guys getting lost"?

Everybody on team including Mick has had getting lost moments this year

 

[Bulldog01]

Hahahahahaha

Exactly as I expected. Funny thing is if you answered correctly, I would have no choice but to say you were right. The majority of the time they got wide open looks was due to dribble penetration from the guards out top. That forces the bottom wing of the zone to defend two guys when the strong side is overloaded, and the extra pass creates the wide open corner look. In a perfect world the center can get out to cover, but he has to stay home to stop the penetration from the top. The answer is Farad and KJ to a lesser extent have to do a better job keeping the lead guard out of the paint, because once he gets there the strong side overload busts the zone and a shooter is wide open.

Class dismissed L-T...

Bro that was elementary as hell. You SERIOUSLY needed Mick to tell you that?

Dude NEVER played sports give him a break

YOU lame as hell dude. You want somebody trying knock your head off?

I know that's why I was surprised someone with such a great basketball mind like LT thought it was a help issue instead. You should teach him basketball...

I, for one, am thankful Chad shares some real basketball knowledge on this forum. Better than most of the other stuff that is posted on here.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

I'm hoping Cobb bounces back and leads us in scoring tomorrow. Also hoping that Clark and Ellis combine for 20 rebounds.

Bro anybody that's supposedly a FAN should understand basketball 101! Especially taking time out your day being on here. I like the Chad that updates us on recruiting info. Basketball side of things he's horrible

I just don't understand you man. Literally 2 weeks ago you were going on and on and on and on about how Jenifer should be the point guard and that you know basketball and your assessment of him was that he was the reason this team would win.

Then Yesterday you tell me that you talked about Jenifer 5 months ago or something and that were way passed that. Im just wondering for someone with such Basketball IQ, why you would be going back on something you swore was the truth just 2 weeks ago. I don't get it.
