I thought that a primary feature of our team was going to be fast breaking up the court for easy hoops inasmuch as apart from Harrison and sometimes Greene and Sampson, there is no threat to hit the outside shot. In the games earlier in the season, it did seem as though they were implementing a fast break, even after made baskets by the opposition. I wonder if the coaches have changed the philosophy or if these kids just forget what to do.
It's easier to run when you are facing crappy competition. I am guessing that perhaps Harrison was taken to task for firing threes against Cincy. Combined with his late game foul shooting failures, the wind was out of his sails yesterday. Had he put in a typical performance, we probably still lose but its a closer game.
I like the way Sampson, Pointer, Balamou and even Garrett can run (along with the guards). You DO have to rebound to run, and Obepka is a rebouding liability until he stops trying to block everything in sight and actually works on position. I do think this can be an exciting run and gun team.
