some old games. hope to watch some newer ones today, though my sched is tight.


Vs morgan state

offensively

Five out…

Will post booth…who can look for kick outs

Kick out huge for them..will work it on perimeter

Maintains pace in half court

Booth loves to pull up mid range. Nice

Good shooting team. All five can hit jumpers except Da Da Roundtree

Swider will pull up too

Jump shooting team

Defensively Hoyas Must...

stay attached to shooters. which begs the need of not getting beat offensively. if they ball screen, govan should lightly show. means go over the screen. stay attached!

understand they are jumpstepping into the lane. can't OVERSUCK at any time. that's what kills you in kick outs.

no real post game, so if paschall gets it down there, iso. no help. gotta stop him. gotta push up on the passer (and not get backcut).

don't like being pressed so much…not the fastest team. press them. jump them like with that diamond style press used very sparingly vs Xavier. but us it more.

defensively

Defensively man…can be aggressive. But always weak side sag in paint

1 2 2 ¾ to speed you up…get you off base

offensively Hoyas should...

create tempo. Morgan is pushing the rock successfully…villy not the fastest teams
pound the middle with govan, when they suck down, kick out, then get ball around perimeter. move the rock.

i would pick and roll/pop. particularly pop with govan. should be able to shoot over their small lineup.



Vs provy


Didn’t handle run and jump well. Gillespie in particularly

Should pick them up full court

Vs lasalle

To comeback went four around 1 to pashcal, who bullied them

Will play out of four around 1…hits the spot ups guys

1 2 2 …more token


Bey shoots and defends

1 4 to jumble…they read off that and gileppsie finds cutters from around elbow up (finding backside cutting)

Will post guards, who then play ake score


Push off stops…selectively

Swithing high pick and roll action…slip big sto bucket..no rotating size for nova

Pascal will spot up too. Bad matchup. get ball out of hands if possible.

Pacall rebounds. Active

Will create iso opps for booth after replacement pass

Against them sliop bigs to bucket…take advtanage of their lack of size and they switch

Sped up by full court pick up/man
