Does Kruger ever make in game adjustments? His coaching sucked the entire second half. His gameplan as far as I can tell is to tell the team "Get out there and outscore 'em boys". No defensive adjustments at all. He'll get his *** handed to him by Huggins and WVU.
Lol...i thought the same thing. Hell at least this year he's calling time outs. We are not good against a zone...bu runs a good zone. Cousins and Buddy TO the ball under tough pressure...which wv has. Wv is deep and their bigs are better. We'll have to hit our 3's
Much respect, little brother. I will forgo the post game meltdown I would have done had you rolled over and lost by 30 as we all (your fans included) expected. Maybe I can find a Duke board instead...
OSU only took 12 three point shots and only hit 4 of those. Most of their points were in the paint. I do not understand why we don't collapse into the lane ( especially on penetration)and make the opposing team kick it back out. Our perimeter defense is OK but then ut seems that most of the players stand and watch when the ball handler beats their defender.
Well that was ugly! We need to figure out how to not turn the ball over when pressed because WVU will be giving us fits.
The pick and roll when we hedge at the top isn't good. I'd clear out the lane and pick and roll all night on us. The good news is wv hasn't been a 3 team this year...course that could change. So maybe we back off a bit on the hedge...don't get so drawn out. Little things, like Lattin's 5th foul...30 feet from the bucket hedging (if I remember right)..maybe that was his 4th...5th was going after loose ball...either way DUMB foul..know where you are!
And what has happened to the bench? Seems they peaked against Villanova, and at this point they're basically paperweights for the bench. We really need Buford, Walker, Manyang, and at least one of James or Odomes to really contribute. Whatever the reason, they are going in the wrong direction.
I'm thinking Buddy is/was tired..how else to explain 10 to's. OSU didn't need the three with Evans...someone said to collapse into the paint to slow them, didn't work with Evans...that young man is pretty special. I watched a little of WVU and KU. WVU plays different at home than on the road so I have a good feeling...Spangler was off on his three's by maybe a half inch so if he can get a couple to go with Hield, Woodard, Walker and even Cousins ought to be a solid win! Leastwise, that is what it looks like through Crimson colored glasses...:loyal:
