That is fair haha, gonna need them to figure that out to really give UConn a run.
Offense > Defense
- Thread starter ClonesFTW
- Start date
agreed. not sure how to beat uconn since they have that 9'10" dude lol
Hard to completely abandon what you did all year, but leaving Shannon wide open for 3s in 1st half hurt. I think they mixed it up better in the 2nd half
Truly for the life of me still dont understand why we kept running the double at Domask when he was trying to back down Lipsey. LET HIM! Lipsey is one of the best defensive players in the country. If Domask makes a 12 foot turnaround jumper over Lipsey you tip your cap and tell him you will give him the exact same shot next time down the floor.
Under no circumstance should we have been leaving the 3rd leading scorer in the entire country. You have to make them play left-handed and do everything in your power to take away Shannon. Love our staff but that was a head scratcher.

Yes! I made mention about this a couple of times on offensive rebounds Illinois got. ISU would have been called on the other end for the same thing. At least that's how I felt.
I think the biggest practical difference between them is just the psychology of it. The Fred teams, you felt you could get down 10-15 points and not worry a bit. The points were going to come, and often in a hurry. Now (and a little less this year as our offense was decent), you just feel like you can't go down double-digits at any point.
That was the early issue. Domask is too big and too strong to be effected by the double. And unlike most guards, he's used to operating out of the mid-post and passing out of double teams. The doubles just weren't ever going to work.
I'm sorry you weren't paying attention or just ignored that aspect.
Seriously. How else do blue blood programs keep churning wins out? You can always follow the money.
By your chart alone... it looks like you need a lot more than just "an elite offense" - you need the defense to go with it. Therefore - the idea that we need to exchange the elite defense for the elite offense is indeed asinine.
Offense is skill, defense is effort.
Need tj to work his recruiting magic to help get more offense. 23/24 was a huge step, but we need another step like that to go to an elite 8 or farther.

how many tranfers and millions of dollars did you see in the past? ,never happened
getting offense in the portal is very difficult. Players with proven ability to score go for big money.
