Next Year

[tower912]

A subtle move by Buzz, subbing Jake for Lockett.  Davison fell for it.  The other thing is why would you have your big trail Davante to the top of the key?   Because of all the 18 ft jumpers he hit during his career?  (Hint for the slow... not many).  Sag and maybe force Blue to pull up.

That team had Diener, Bell, and the immortal Niv Berkowitz- 3 PG.  Diener and Bell both got hurt. Niv stunk and I think left before the season ended.

But your premise is correct.

I forgot about those two...but to be fair...MU only had one pg that year.  Was this the reason Crean promised to recruit a pg each year or am I remembering years/coaches?

Another team struggling to defend the high pick and roll.  Jake Thomas standing in the corner being face guarded while Vander goes right behind the guy to the rim.  Jamil flying in for the tip that never came.   A well drawn up, well executed play that shows another way to defend the pick and roll and why no way is foolproof.

Holy moving screen on Davante

On a different note for next year, DI Council approves proposal moving up start of men's and women's basketball season to the Tuesday immediately before the second Friday in November.

Holy moving screen on Davante

Very true, but the fact that Davidson switched and that it was the last play of a tournament game means it doesn't get called.

The actual screen wasn't bad.  On the roll, he maintains contact with the defender.

An example of why playing to the scouting report isn't always the right thing for a player. No way Jake Thomas is taking a three from the corner in that situation but I'm sure the scouting report was "Thomas only shoots threes stay in his grill."

Could you imagine if he actually made some of those threes? Most overrated "sharp shooter" ever

He did shoot nearly 40% his senior year.  But I agree...Thomas was a mid major level player.

I might have my years confused.  I'll have to go back and research the roster timeline.

I think it was Buzz that wanted a PG each year. Maybe a center too.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Ok, I had forgotten Bell took his medical leave of absence and never played in 04-05.  But he was supposed to be the backup PG.

Love watching that GIF, baby. It's still unbelievable that we won that effen game.

I hadn't realized until just now that Jamil really slammed on the brakes at the end there. Pretty hilarious to just watch that.

Jake ... swell kid, I'm sure, but part of one of the worst high-major starting backcourts in history.
