We look fairly good on both sides of the ball, particularly on defense keeping them in check without our key guys getting in foul trouble.

Combating the Cats half court trap must have been a point of emphasis for us in practice because we shredded it. Really high IQ stuff from our guys.

Agree, will be interested to see how we handle ball pressure and decent team. We haven't played anyone since Tennessee.

Domask has shown surprisingly weak handle. Shows the ball too much unless he is backing in on a smaller guy.
Goode cannot handle the ball really.
Rodgers can be ok with a head of steam but often picks up his dribble way out on the floor too much. He also doesn't know how to back dribble and retreat and change directions when pressed. Still learning.
Harmon will need to help.

I actually think they might use Hawkins and Guerrier more as pressure safety valves and run more of offense through Hawkins who has been making better decisions.

But we do gang rebound and stay in front of people and that will win a lot of games if we shoot decently.
Our 3 pt % is at 33 and UW has announced he wants as many threes as we can get.

This thread has a pessimism at levels never even seen on the deuce

... can we still be good?

Obviously our ceiling is a lot lower, but .. we maybe can still be good?

Reports of our death have been at least slightly exaggerated.

There’s enough talent and maturity and enough fit to still finish near the top of the B1G. But I won’t be surprised if they don’t.

Really though this has been impressive. Guys aren’t deferring as much and are being more aggressive. Guys are taking advantage of the extra minutes. Ball movement is great. Vision is great on the traps. Defense and rebounding solid like always. Except for that three by Buie.

It looked like suicide for them to double early but then they backed off it and Domask started abusing people in iso
