Houston shoots 36% fg’s, 28% 3-pts, gets out rebounded by 7, but wins by 9 on the road. Ole
Calvin is one heck of a recruiter and coach.
Yes he is....As we all know, coaching is a lot of the big, basic things as well as being able to get
a total buy-in from the players on a lot of little things....The finishing touches.....Maybe the
latter is why Houston could overcome adverse stats to win on the road....
Can we compete equally with Houston and UCF right now? Probably not....The
quality of
the threes we are attempting, with exceptions of course, are not as open as the ones our
opponents are taking.....Open threes are usually generated by penetration and dishing out
to the perimeter, and passing the ball inside and back out again.....That's why it is so
encouraging to see Williams drive with a pass first mentality.....That has been in too short
supply so far this season....Good player movement and ball reversal are also factors....
Our shot selection needs to be improved if we are to be more effective.....We won't beat
many folks if someone continues to shoot 1 for 7 from 25 feet, and eats up 20+ minutes of
playing time doing so....We have better options, and hopefully we are tending in that
direction.....
