I am against anyone other than Crutcher, Mikesell, or Davis shooting a 3.
I would like to see Crutcher drive to the basket more, he has that nice runner shot. I still do not feel that he shoots enough.
I feel like either OT or JC should get the ball in the high or low post literally every single possession in the absence of a wide-open Crutcher 3 or a lay-up. Just play inside-out ball.
It drives me crazy to see OT not get more touches or not seeing Crutcher take more shots.
I would ride Crutcher and OT very hard. I just still feel like those 2 are not being utilized enough.

Crutcher is not a natural PG. A really nice player, overall, but not a true PG.Really does not have a great bounce, great quickness, good strength and simply doesn't have the instincts to break down defenses and shorten the court in the half-court. Would love to see him, or anyone,be able to beat defenders into the paint for a pull up, take to the rack more or just draw defenders to open up easier buckets for the BIGS..
Still, with all being said, it's not the L that bothers me but the lack of effort.
St Louis was picked to win the A10 and had lost 4 in a row so I was not predicting a W as they were due but I thought this game could go down to the last few minutes...
