I actually think
SJU is better than
umass. They've got a good interior presence and shotblocker, they can score inside or out, and they have some good young guards.
They worked pretty hard tonight and made it close. We just look hapless against a zone. We had about a three minute stretch where we looked like we knew what we were doing vs. the zone and it won us the game. Martelli had to call time out, and only showed zone once (briefly) the rest of the night. And on that play, CW got the alley oop dunk.
Just not a pretty offense overall for us though. Interior defense and rebounding was really bad tonight. Got better toward the end, but it has to get much better. We have a lot of work to do.
The good news vs. x is that they usually don't want a half court game either. So hopefully, they don't expose our flaws the way the last three teams have.
