offense

they push constantly. ponds is especially dangerous in transition.
---gotta get back

ponds has the green light at all times, constantly pressures penetration including from ball screen
---he's shooting bad, so under the screens and sag off him. make him hit contested shots. in transition make mark him!

no real consistent post game. ponds likes midrange

will horns it...with clark being especially dangerous in it where he shoots, drives, finishes
---derrickson has to go against that guy. make him work.

simon is bullish pg. big. loves to get into the paint
---not a shooter. go under screens and sag. make him shoot the rock. don't let him bully.








defense

pack lineish defense
--.high screen and roll it. make them make decisions defensively. inconsistent. don't seem to communicate. guards and team can get lazy on screens and deep into the shot clock. move ball, make them mistake, and pounce on it. eschew quick BAD shots.

make ponds defend

watch for owens, a good weakside shot blocker.


lazy in transition
---smartly push

they will token 1-2-2.
---don't panic, as the hoyas do.
