Hmm... may want to rethink that strategy.
whats particularly mind numbing is that in the midst of a typical 8+ minute scoring drought, Miles doesn't seem to have a play. Oh sure, there is the dribble weave that is a designed movement but the end result of that movement simply leads to the same thing....some sort of ballscreen or pick and roll concept. Heck, CU ran the same dribble weave but the conclusion (the GOAL of the movement) was a backscreen for a CU guard. he handed the ball off, and the 4 man at the freethrow elbow set a backscreen for him. The other bigman, who received the pass at the opposite elbow, would have hit him for a layup were it not for Webster holding him and getting called for a foul. Such a simple thing, and CU does this stuff with ease.
Watching NU tonight would be akin to the football team, running the same play with the players being allowed to, at their own discretion, run whatever type of route they want. Some concepts can drive the basic jist of what they hope to accomplish, but ultimately its up to the players to read each other and make the correct decision. No gameplan, no decisions on how to best attack, just concepts.
CU, on the other hand, would be like Ohio St, going up to the line, seeing the defense, looking to the sideline, getting the play, running the play, then sprinting to the LOS (did you notice how hard CU runs the floor) lining up, looking to the sideline, and running something different.
I wonder who is going to win that chess match.
