Yeah, that efg% mantra has not held up the last couple of games.

After St. John's wrote the first chapter of this "book" you speak of, we went on an 8-game winning streak. After they wrote the second chapter, we went on a 4-game winning streak.

We simply played poor basketball on Sunday....

Copyright litigation ensued after Wojo attempted to change the Win Every Day^TM slogan to Every Day I Write the Book^TM.

Not only that, but the way we lost to SJU (shooting like sh*t) was a lot different than how we lost against Creighton (turnovers)

You are correct. I just went back and looked at the two SJU box scores. We turned the ball over 12 and 9 times in the two losses...two of our better ball handling games of the season.

So no, Creighton did not follow some "book" that was written by SJU. We had more TOs on Sunday than we did in our two losses to SJU combined. Totally different games.

There is a book on our team, everyone knows how to play us.  Time for a new look, some new plays, some creativity.  Unless this is all just practice for next year.
St. JOHNS wrote the book on us, others are following. 

We are not turning the ball over, they are causing us to turn the ball over.

St. John's had a 6-5 perimeter defender with length and quickness who could guard Howard and take him out of his comfort zone. Not everyone has that and that's what's needed for the "book" to be written.

And not only that not only that, but SJU defended Markus by switching a lot of long athletic guards onto him, they rarely double teamed. Creighton defended him by using a very aggressive double team, the most aggressive I think we have seen all season.

Silliness.

The sad thing is Creighton didnt even do anything special.  They simply double teamed n in most cases didnt even rotate.  Sam would screen n they would double marKus sam would be standing literalky wide open 15 feet away and the ball would never come his way.
Watch joey C. Run pick n pop with sam.  Or pick n roll with a big tgey can be things of beauty.  Watch us run them with Markus, looks like a grade schooler with his head down .  Ball is never delivered.
Al said many times... if the defense double teams ur all american and he wont pass then u will lose the game.  Same as it ever was. 
Markus great scorer, but a very poor PG. Low D1 as a PG.  If he couldnt shoot hed have zero business on tge court.  We unfortunately have no real options at PG.  Chartouney just hasnt panned out. Great passer great on ball defender, yet hasnt gotten comfortable n season is almost over.

So he would be a low D1 player if he couldn't shoot but because he can he's an all american? You're selling him short big time. He's a very good ball handler in traffic. He can finish around the hoop. He plays solid defense. Yes his biggest weakness is recognizing who is open and getting the ball to them and that IS a big weakness, but your comment is silly.
