How about that dunk from DMFJ?!Just gotta win. Some of our best teams ever have stunk it up in a game or two and still went on to be very very good.
How about that dunk from DMFJ?!
Tacko is a stick for his height though. Easy to leverage. I'd be more worried about Igbanu against bigs around 7" who have significant weight.That’s why I’m hoping Hewitt can develop in practice to where he can get minutes. At 6’10” he could help against teams with more than one big. Igbanu does pretty good for his size, he’s handled Tacko very well the last two seasons.
Areas that cause me great concern thus far are... rebounding, free throws, and 3 point shooting. If we don't improve in these areas any average team has a better than 50/50 chance against us. A good team will exploit these areas and we will be eating their dust... A 6'7" Ibanu is going to have a hard time going against a good 6'10" man. Right now we don't have the size to battle a good inside game.
I would love to see us play fast, but I don't think it's gonna happen under this coaching staff. 149th is the highest we've ever finished in pace and the 67 possessions last night made it one of the slowest games of the day.
We'll see. Haith was stressing it in his post games. I'm pretty sure it's his #1 reason for starting Jackson. I may be wrong but his Missouri teams played decently fast didnt they?
His teams at Missouri all sat right around 150th for adjusted tempo. Our TU teams under Manning, while Haith was at Mizzou, played faster. However, Haith's teams at Mizzou were all good shooting and efficient scoring teams, so their PPG were higher than TU under Manning.
Good catch.Worth mentioning that our defensive scheme plays a pretty big role in that. We sit back in zone and teams tend to just pass the ball around the perimeter. If we just look at average possession length on offense, then Haith has gotten as high as 35th.
