We should start with passing and catching.

Shooting baskets might help.

Shooting baskets might help.

have to agree. all we have to do was take shots and rebound. out smarted ourselves

 

[mrcyfan]

Are you changing coaches? Huggie has coached this way since his days at Cincy?

 

[hancockeer]

we still lose

don't want to knee jerk reaction too much. understand the frustration & every season in WV basketball history has ended with Ls expect for the NIT deals.

but I think the collective results of the press and where it's taken our program speak for themselves. I'd be careful to toss away what got us a bunch of big wins, into the NCAAs and to one Sweet 16. the offense needs some work though. better overall this season, but still inconsistent. you have to score to press & we couldn't score tonight. same as UK game. the press was not why we lost.

30% shooting and 22 turnovers for an offensive showing is why we lost. It wasn't the press.

some confusion here. yeh, the press was not going to be our staple defense no matter what happened in this game - nothing to do with sfa. we will use it like the 1-3-1 in 2010

looking at our recruits, that much writing is on the wall..

If you ask this team to become a half-court offensive team, they will shoot below 20%.

 

[skygusty]

The press works better when you can make a shot now and then and not have over a dozen unforced turnovers. They need to spend some time on offense.

Sorry there is no reason you can't do all three, press, pass and shoot.

Most of the shots were missed from 'point blank' range. Hail.............dunk the ball when that close in!
