The Above teams Aren't great shooting teams. They have struggled against the Zone for the most part, with Houston having the most success. When they lost to BYU, Tulsa, and SMU, it was because they faced a lot of Zone.
I in no way want to be a full on Zone team.
But I am interested in seeing changing defenses from possession to possession especially late in games.
UCF made 17 of 28 layups at the rim. Our Man to man defense was absolutely abused by an horrible offensive team. A zone may have cut that in half.
I know grimes was a highly rated recruit but he’s about the 6th guy I’m scared of the most on that team. He has good games but he’s terrible more often than not. Jarrue is their key. Can’t let him start driving and opening things up. He’s also dumb, have to use that to your advantage
I’ve watched Houston about 5-6 times this year, and he’s been bad every game. Maybe I just caught the bad games. I still think Jarreau and Hinton are the keys. If Jarreau starts driving and setting people up, it’s hard to stop. Hinton is a great energy guy. They aren’t their best scorers but they mean a lot to them. Kinda like Tre for us
Time for some mental relaxation! Also time to possibly re think aggressive Tre. My only concern is Tre was an important assist guy before he turned scorer. There hasnt been blow outs with his scoring outburst. Just a minor concern.
harvey is so smart. if anything reminds me of jarron its his bball IQ. he's always making the right play.
i think mick used to say the star players made big jumps from freshman year to sophomore year. i can see harvey being a candidate.
we're very lucky he wasn't able to go back to his high school and had to reclassify. it was unlucky for him to have to use up his freshman year while he was recovering from his ankle injury, but you can really see the talent.
