Title: Great Ball Movement
Post by: wadesworld on January 14, 2017, 01:35:30 PM
I love the way we're playing, especially offensively, right now. Very unselfish. Even when we were behind early we simply had a ton of open looks that just rimmed out. Keep this ball movement and player movement up and we'll get our 10 wins.

I also love the way Hauser is playing. A couple times players have tried to drive on him and he just stuck his chest out and let them bounce off of him. He also has chased down a couple rebounds on both ends of the court and had at least 1 weak side help block.

Great effort so far. Let's win this one by 25.

This is how we're supposed to treat DePaul. As you said, we looked like the better team even when shots weren't falling. The ball movement is beautiful.

Some of these play designs are beautiful too. Screening for the screener and getting him a wide open look, etc.

It's taken half a season, but I feel like this is what the offense is supposed to look like in full flow. Not only that, we did it with Howard on the bench. I know it's DePaul, but that was like watching an artist work.

The only reason Howard is on the bench is because rowsey has 19 points at half

That might keep MH on the bench longer in this one.  Good problem to have.  Bench the hottest frosh in the league for a hot hand (and I know MH was on the bench with 2 fouls)

Howard's on the bench because he has two fouls. Fortunately Rowsey has been a more than adequate replacement.

He was on the bench because he had two fouls and his back-up was playing great.  No problem. Team effort.

Love seeing Froling stand up and raise his arms every time an MU player catches the ball and squares up on the perimeter. He is a big boy.

Howard was on the bench cheering the loudest for his teammates. Awesome to see!
