Excellent point and I agree. They weren’t taking bad shots. And every time I said it, we came down and made the next outside shot. I would guess the team was told to keep shooting if you’re open. When you’re that hot, don’t cool off by backing off open shots. So I have zero complaints about the shot they took in either half.
I’ll drill down on my post above here... I hope they look at the film to see if there was inside opportunities to score or deploy the inside-outside options because it’s unrealistic to think we will have another shooting night like this one. I hope they become a team whose offense runs like a well-oiled machine scoring inside and out to keep defenses guessing.
I’ll also add I hope they study what they did rebounding in this game. VCU came in with a +10 in rebounding. We won that battle 33-26. That’s as much of a surprise as our hot night shooting. Granted, you make as many shots as we did, you take away defensive rebounding opportunities from VCU. But still... we did a very good job rebounding in this game. I’d love to see a breakdown of what I’ll call rebounding positioning on those shots we made. If they hadn’t gone in, were we in position to have a shot at getting the ball back?
VCU is going to take this game tape and learn a lot from it. We will meet them again in Feb, so we need to do the same. This was a dominate win, but we are a long way from being a dominate team. We have to learn as much as they do from the film.
