45 is the freshman we all thought Abii would be.

Built like Oakley with more offensive game.

[Purple Haize]

Good lordt I hated defending the 4 out offense. Probably because I was always the 1 in (See Lioscomb late 80’s early 90’s)

[LU Grad 11]

Doubling with our post man at the three point line is a stupid strategy. 45 is killing us. Don't leave him.

[sv_94]

JV looks great today.

[sv_94]

They have talented guards. I’m guessing we’re trying to force 45 to beat us…but he kind of is

The color commentator agrees. So do I.

I don’t see them doubling. They are just hedging the screen. Pretty fundamental

I can’t believe Stanford just popped for Rona.
Vandy is happy. A free day in Hawaii!

I played in HS so I know what I am talking about

So we need better rotation, correct?

A hedge is a momentary double. I’ve never liked doing it on middle ball screens. But if you do, the defender on the weakside corner shooter has to cover the roll.

The key is that, in the middle, the hedge must be even mire “momentary”. Preston especially lingers too long, making a full double. From the middle of the floor, the pass to the roller is too easy of the hedge lingers.

[Purple Haize]

Depends on what they want to do. Point in fact, double teaming wouldn’t be a bad option. The screener is a pretty big target so disrupting the vision of the passer would be the first step. So hedge harder, trap it or check your “help the helper”. But BYU is a pretty good 3 pt shooting team with good spacing which is giving them that 1/2 step in the roll

He’s gotta poop or get off the pot. He’s not doubling and not hedging. Do one or the other

Exactly, Rode and Preston linger too long when trying to hedge. Abii is much quicker at hedging.

Even more fun when the 1 starts ball-screening the wing on each swing. Like BYU is doing now

Heck I would have LOVED that. Watch some of those old Lipscomb teams. They had that down to an art. We had several teams that emulated that. It was a freaking battle down there with not one ball screen being set.

Lipscomb produced these studs
John Pierce and Philip Hutcheson.

[LU Grad 11]

Screen and roll. Rinse, repeat. We can't stop it.

[Liberty22]

Unfortunately this is a win the conference and make the tourney year and build for next year. Just not a great team this year. Nice to be competing for a conference championship on a down year though haha

[lueer]

Our D has not responded to what they are doing. Getting killed all night in same play. Very frustrating.

This team is close but just not real good yet.

[JK37]

Sorry, I don’t have a Betamax player.

There’s the middle ball screen with a lingering hedge. AGAIN. AND-1.

[LU Grad 11]

Venzant can play some defense!

[LU 57]

45 walked but Rode’s feet were set in stone.

[LU Grad 11]

Lose 80-75. These last two sting. For all the bluster about defense, it's been our downfall.

[LU 57]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before……..
Free throws

Achilles heel.

[LU Grad 11]

ASUN should be a cakewalk compared to these teams. Hate moral victories, though.

They do, but we just lost close games to Stanford and BYU. I’m not big on moral victories, but you gotta like where we are as a program when we’re doing that in a “rebuilding year.”
