Title: Five guard lineups
Post by: michigancat on March 23, 2018, 10:16:24 AM
I like them, I hope teams use them more often.

I like them when we can D rebound. Sneed has decided to be a great at rebounding lately.

 i guess we don't have that lick your lips emoticon anymore, which is ridiculous.

i'll indicate agreement with a bolton emoticon instead, since it's all that's left.  :Ughhh:

If Xavier plays like X-SLAY-vier then I like our chances.

PS pro tip: xSLAYvier is incredibly fun to type, but if you want to say it out loud make sure to leave a good pause between the y and the v otherwise you'll sound v  :opcat:

Probably mentioned elsewhere but

2010: Wildcats beat Xavier in S16
2018: Xavier beats Wildcats in S16

I think there is some lovely symmetry there.

i can't say i'm surprised.  we all want a curated collection reflecting the insights and values of a career professional, but when it comes down to it. you can't argue with an algorithm working for pennies on the dollar.

It worked great so let's hurry up and get Love (?!?)  in the game

it's certainly prettier.

Our bigs suck so bad.
Also, why not post up Sneed? It might work better than whatever the eff we're trying to do.

It worked great whenever we did it

I don't understand why they didn't pound it in to Frankenstein when we went with the five guard line up, they sure as hell fed him when Mak was in.

Well we usually subbed in a big when he came in. And they seemed to bother the guards more because we just switched on everything.

 Or the game was moving too fast for him to stay in.

it can be pretty hard to consistently feed a big.  a lot easier said than done.  and who knows, he might have been more comfortable going against bigs than guards.  a lot of bigs are.

I hate piling on one person, but I did notice the guards were fronting him. I thought that Loyola would just throw the ball to the rim to him but they never did it. They did throw him a bounce pass when he was being guarded by Cardi, but of course that was a horrible idea and it got stolen.
Title: Re: Five guard lineups
Post by: sys on March 24, 2018, 08:27:14 PM
it sounds stupid, but if he isn't used to having a smaller player front him and his guards aren't used to throwing it over the top to him, that can be a tough adjustment to make on the fly.  i mean he certainly isn't a guy where you can just say throw it to the rim and he'll go get it.

How much will we go three guards, Sneed and Wade next year? I would have loved to have had that option today.

Post by: michigancat on March 24, 2018, 08:30:15 PM
he did draw a nonsense foul on Diarra

Post by: MakeItRain on March 24, 2018, 09:24:37 PM
It doesn't sound stupid because it's accurate. That issue you speak of is exacerbated by a big with bad hands but that dude didn't seem to have that issue, he seems like a guy who will catch what he touches.
Title: Re: Five guard lineups
Post by: sys on March 24, 2018, 09:29:27 PM
yeah he's got good hands.  he's a good player.

In the aspect that he isn't a post player, yes.
