last time around, tc hit shots. this is gonna sound trite...but the hoyas have to hit shots. hahah
this is vs x's man, and 1 3 1 schemes (the latter used as a closer)
who?
i like govan shooting from the elbow actually. vs 1 3 1, he'd be shooting over smaller people. copes as well - he HAS to show up for the complete game, not just hunt jumpers though.
penetration helps that obviously. but who? interestingly enough, high pick and roll with dsr, screen left to right peak screened, ball reversal copes drive (right side), weaves, with peak going downhill. now only peak has really been successful with this, or at least consistiently successful, but it must be done.
pace...
Hoyas have to push it. means must get stops. fastbreaks are cool, but even if they don't score in 'transition' pushing the tempo could dislodge x' s defense. need that.
defensively...
they are gonna play man. i would mix zone, even if it's scored upon (but not consistiently). the perimeter defenders must play their azzes off...x shoots j's, and scores inside, but really shoots j's. farr is improved as a poster, so govan/md have to defend with strength. crazy man reynolds has had an ok season, but he can be dangerous, especially on the boards. hit him everytime..put a body on him!
foul trouble;
stop the stupid fouling. the frontcourt is depleted, so govan has to play 30 plus AGAIN. MD has to play 27 or more. copes has to be in there. same with peak. no. stupid. fouling.
