The other 36 minutes
« on: May 13, 2019, 08:53:53 PM »
I was watching the last 2 minutes of the 1977 NCAA championship game on YouTube and the announcers were discussing the type of players Al McGuire would recruit.
Al said that with the game 40 minutes with 10 players that each player only gets 4 minutes with the ball and he would recruit player based on what they did in the other 36 minutes.

I think that is where Wojo goes wrong. He is always trying to recruit shooters. His teams have been very good offensively, but his players has been bad defensively. Generally, good shooters are not bangers. Bernard Toone could shoot and he was quick and athletic. However, he drove McGuire crazy, because he could not get him to bang inside.

MU was a pretty good defensive team this past season.

Not in the NCAA tournament. They could not get out to cover the open three point shooters. The Big East was pretty weak this year, which helps to skew the defensive statistics.
They also could not stop guards like Ponds and Powell.

They were a good defensive team this year regardless of the ncaa tournament.

They were bad in the tournament because of Ja Morant.  And a lack of guards.

And a bad defensive game plan. And a lousy performance from our 43% usage guy. And a lousy performance by our supporting cast (other than Sam).

Don't exempt Sam.   MU struggled down the stretch against guards with size attacking relentlessly.   Ja was simply a continuation of that and the best of the bunch.   He was the reason I predicted a double digits loss.   Had I known the Hausers had chosen to attack Wojo and Markus with a letter, I would have predicted a 20 point loss.

whole different game now-3 point shot, shot clock, much more physical, etc etc.  al employed a 4-corners offense quite often.  that required good, patient ball handlers, not shooters

Yes, but that same team also beat Louisville, Kansas State, Buffalo, Wisconsin that aren't in the Big East.  Gave KU fits in the first half.  I get what you are saying, but the game of basketball has changed a ton.  Shooters win teams a lot of games these days.  Tough to find good shooters who also are athletic enough to play with elite athletes on the opposite side.  Usually have to pick your poison on that front.

What month did we beat Louisville, Kansas St, Buffalo and Wisconsin?

What month were we destroyed by Murray St?

When did we beat Georgetown on the road without our 2nd team All American Big East POY? When did we lose to them on our home court at full strength?

This really isn't all that complicated.

Are you actually saying Sam had a good game against Murray State? If so, you have lost all credibility.

No, I just don't understand why you just can't let it go.  If Chicos said the grass is green, you'd post incessantly about how the grass is actually a shade of kelly green.  The guy bothers you so much that you just can't let the littlest thing go and every detail, no matter how small and inconsequential, must be challenged.  It's really pathetic.

And a bad defensive game plan.

I'm sorry, but that's plain ignorant.  The defensive game plan was sound: shut down Morant and dare them to shoot from the outside.  Any coach with an IQ > a carrot would have drawn up the exact same plan with this team. 


Murray State was better than Steph Curry from 3-pt land, let alone what they were relative to their performance over the prior 4+ months.  Even if executed perfectly (which, of course, we didn't), not even Virginia beats Murray State in the 1st round.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Big East was down (I actually started a question to Jay Wright after they were blown out with "did the fact that the whole big East was down this year keep your team from being prepared for Purdue's level of play?"). However, the ranking as 45th best defensive rating adjusts for level of offenses faced.

It seems to me we hit two incredible star players - Thornwell last appearance, who was the best college players, and Morant who should be the no. 2 NBA pick. Id say maybe we don't do well against the one great player, but I thought we played Ben Simmons tough.

Murray vs MU: Morant with 16 of the 23 assists, MS wins by 19 w/MS 9-18 3point shooting.
Murray vs. FSU: Morant with 4 of 7 assists, FSU wins by 28 w/MS 7-18 3 point shooting.

 A whopping 47 point turn around! Pretty sure Coach Leonard "Carrot" Hamilton had the more sound defensive game plan of MS's 2 opponents. .

I believe the announcers in Connecticut were the same in both games. The woman announcer made an interesting observation on the defensive game plan. I do not recall her exact words but this was pretty close: " Notice how FSU doesn't overcommit on defense." And then the zinger: You DON"T see 5 guys collapsing on Morant!"
