Title: UNLV
Post by: CNS on December 19, 2010, 10:29:47 PM
Thoughts?

They recently lost to UC Santa Barbra.  WTF is up with that?

They shoot near 50%, but rebound like crap.

Think our D lowers their shooting pct, and we absolutely kill them on the boards.

I think the near home atmosphere helps us win tues.

I hate this team right now. That said, I'll be at the game Tues and no way in hell do we lose. UNLV is the type of team we can just bowl over.

I don't really mean that in a good way. It's in the sprint center, we'll ugly the eff out of the game, guys will look better for at least a game, the crowd will get behind the team blah blah blah we'll win by 7-10. Same glaring problems still will exist afterwards.

Yeah, like the time they threw the 1991 semifinal game against Duke?  Still can't believe that crap.  Hopefully the money will be good enough to convince them to help us out.

Yeah.  There was a guy earlier that wanted Frank to run stairs.  Thought Frank wasn't disciplined enough, or something.  Idk, I really didn't read the whole thing.  They just need to give up commenting at all on BB and stick to rough ridin' up Football posts.

In their minds, you are probably too heavily linked with this site.  They hate this site.

Earlier today, there was a thread titled something like "is it just me or do others dislike goEMAW".

In the only Mod act of the 4th quarter, someone at GPC erased it after something like 10minutes

I was interested in what the team manager posted

friend of a manager, not an actual manager.

Quote
We're not going to have great movement and here's why:

My friend is a manager on the team and oversees all the practices and sometimes even ends up running stairs with the team due to poor effort. He says this offense is based a lot on isolation (NBA-type offenses). We're not going to have a lot of movement around the perimeter. They look for one pass to get the person into scoring position. The more we move the ball around the perimeter the worse. You can see this when we'll set up a screen on the wing and the screener will fly off the ball to get to the rim (for whatever reason we don't get it to them in time enough). The style of offense is not very sophisticated but simple and effective (unless you miss a billion shots like we did Saturday).

That was pretty good really. Fits the philosophy of sometimes a missed shot is good offense for us. If I had time I'd chart how many times we get to the last 10 or 5 seconds on the shot clock, its not often outside the last 5 minutes of close games.

Shirttucks ( :opcat:) frustration w/ our offense similar to Bob Knight's frustration, if there is not one white guy passing to another white guy, then screening off the ball something must be seriously wrong and obviously our coach knows nothing about this game of roundball.

That half-assed explanation seems accurate to me. Offensive rebounding is our most effective "play". This is the same offense we've seen since Huggs/Frank arrived, now we just don't have anyone to run the transition O very well. miss you denis...

The real question, should we even be missing Clent Stewart at this point?
