where is Athlete34 now that Vandy is zoning us?
- Thread starter Coach34
- Start date
So were Sidney's 2 turnovers and the steal when Kodi tried to drive coaching errors? We actually got the ball where we wanted the 1st 2 possessions, Sid just tried to be too flashy, plain and simple.<div>
</div><div>I went back and looked at the dvr, they zoned us in our 1st 16 possessions, and on 12 of those possessions, we took our 1st shot of the possession inside the 3 point line(contrary to your assertions). Got an open look almost every time, and missed 5 layups in that sequence (plus a no call when Dee got to the rim once) </div><div>
</div><div>We also got 5 offensive rebounds in that sequence, which is pretty good for us.</div><div>
</div><div>When they got out of the zone, the score was tied.</div><div>
</div><div>We shot 50% for the game and scored over 80 points against a team you said early in the year had a defense that would suffocate us. We also had 17 assists, multiple point blank shots, all while playing multiple minutes w/ guys that have no offensive skill in Bolen, Lewis, Riek, Smith, etc... </div><div>
</div><div>Offense wasn't the problem tonight, that's one of the best games MSU has played</div>

we played all season. Moving, screening, getting open looks, penetrating, dishing. Offense wasn't the problem tonite. Not getting stops at crucial times at the end was the problem. Fouling 3 point shooters was the problem. Kodi daring the dude to shoot the wide open 3 was the problem. Taylor taking over with 5 to go was the problem(even though he walked 3 damn times while doing so without every getting one freaking whistle blown on him for it). We were hot and they were just as hot, and shot what 13 more free throws than we did. There's your ball game right there. 19 for 21 and we were 8 for 8. 2 to 1 foul ratio.
