Why Shannon is wide open on his first play back is beyond me… wtf face guard him

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

How about we stop double teaming and leaving them wide open?

Have you not paid attention all season? TJ will live and die by the double

 

[CyGuy5]

How can everyone watching the game see the double team doesn’t work but not one person on the staff can?

 

[AuH2O]

Maybe getting continuously destroyed on the double team would be an indicator to maybe not do it.

 

[cstrunk]

Who's going to step up? Still 4 minutes left.

 

[cyclonez7]

Double teaming doesn't work against good shooting teams.

 

[Cyched]

Still time, but we blew some big chances to take the lead and get the upper hand

 

[cyclonestunners]

Maybe getting continuously destroyed on the double team would be an indicator to maybe not do it.

Yeah man....we should totally change up what's worked for us all season.

 

[cyfan92]

Is Schmidt really the offensive coordinator we want? This offseason is huge for him. We need to take a step forward on offense

 

[Stumbles]

I didn't hear no fat lady yet

 

[ClubCy]

At this point the turnovers aren’t happening. You cannot keep doubling and give this team open looks. Playing straight has been our best defense

 

[KCyclone2010]

We had about 4 chances to take the lead with Shannon on the bench and turned it over or forced a bad shot. That’s ballgame

 

[Nococy]

the guy who has trouble with the double team is shannon the big guy or the freshman point guard who comes off the bench. everyone else we need to play straight up

 

[jctisu]

We just have to find a way to tie this up and they will crack. Running out of time.

 

[Alswelk]

Lot of time left to say a single digit game is over

 

[Erik4Cy]

Guard Shannon in corner

 

[ISU_Guy]

You just don’t get to play the way we have in this caliber of game and expect to win.

This…you need an A game this round and we are about a C

A decent shooting night and we win by 10

 

[Walden4Prez]

Also, why bring Rob back in. This game is not for him.

Ward has 4

 

[IcSyU]

I mean what are you going to do? They are making shots to keep us at bay

I'd start with not running the double at them and playing more straight up defensively.

I'd also say you put Shannon into ball defense and force him to defend without help.

 

[clonedude]

Last two 3’s were both by great shooters that were left WIDE open. Can’t have it. Quit doubling!!!
