Did anyone else have a Croomesque chill last night?

Last night when we tried to trap out of the timeout with ~3 min remaining and AU knew it was coming and tossed it in for a dunk?

It reminded me of first down with Dixon up the middle for 1 yrd facing 9 men in the box and the opposing coach chuckling on the sideline.

*Pelphry (ARK) clearing the lane and isolating a big forward on Turner resulting in easy buckets.
*Grant (A) pressing the dogshit out of Dee and creating serious problems for us.
*Kennedy (OM) (not sure if this was by design?) But Polyneice repeatedly taking Ravern off ball screens and distributing for points...couldn't sub Benock in quickly enough.
*Fox (UGA) Same play as Kennedy but using #1 Leslie more effectively to abuse Ravern this time for dunks.
*Lebo/Calipari Going right at Jarvis with big bodied guys togenerate fouls and get him out of the game.

The one strategy thatfor Rick this year thatreminded me of any of these previously mentioned ones was going to a zone at Olemiss and sticking with it when they couldn't break it down. That was nice. It might have beento simply protect Reik, but I still give Rick credit for at least sticking with it when it was working.

We are in need of some new ideas that help put our players in a position to win. We can make adjustments but they often come days later well after the fact. Is Rick strong enough to allow someone to come in and run the show or is Shmuley right with the Cutcliff hypothesis?? </p>

The decision with about 2 minutes left and we are down 5.... We decide to full court press and they beat it for an easy basket... When we should have played for a stop were big momentum swingers...
