1. If every team we play from here out decides to double Dee on the inbound, does that mean that Dee will never bring the ball up again after a made basket? That's what it looked like.

2. Why do we never attack when we do break pressure? Seems like we give the other team no reason to quit pressuring.

3. With 7 seconds left, we came out of a time out knowing we were going to foul---why was Varnado in the game with 4 fouls?

We attacked last week when there was pressure but didnt today but I think twice. That is a head scratcher.

...why isn't the backside high defender in the zone guarding the free throw line? We gave up the pass to the middle several times which allowed them to reverse to the other side for wide open jumpers. If we're going to play zone for a prolonged period, Stans needs to spend some time with Jim Boeheim to learn how to protect the interior. Otherwise, we should just man up.

The people who CAN NOT answer these questions and are purposely staying away from your queries are too busy crying about the criticism of our coach's performance today.

I mean, seriously, Im asking substantive basketball questions looking for discussion b/c I don't understand the moves.

Is that just totally uncalled for?

<br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Answer: Our players were hungover. Too much time (week off) means too much partying. Bost's dribble sucked, which sucked times two with quick defenders with good hands. </span>

2. Why do we never attack when we do break pressure? Seems like we give the other team no reason to quit pressuring.</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Answer: Again, players sucked. No energy. No intensity. Except Turner.

I couldn't understand that if Bama dosent allow Dee to recieve the inbound pass why he isn't the one inbounding in the first place. He should have been the one inbounding the ball so he can get the return pass or receive the ball off a handoff then take it down the court and set up the offense or drive to the basket and draw the foul. If that scenario happens and he does drive to the basket we have numbers and put them in foul trouble, or it forces them to change their defense.
