Here are some of the issues we have had in the past, lets see if they have improved.
1. How do we handle the zone.
I would be surprised to see the Aggies play much man at all. Especially since they are thin in the post.
2. Senglin driving into the paint
Is he keeping his head up and looking to get others involved, or is his head ducked and hoping to get a foul. New restricted area may help Jeremy in this regard.
3. Interior Defense
How tough will we be in the post? We need Braxton to hold his ground and not give cheap fouls.
4. Those Dam Flash Cards
This is Senglins 3rd season at the point. Will he be able to make a lot of the play calls himself or will he be required to look at the flash cards every five seconds.
5. Bench play from Hill/Gittens
Having these guys on the bench is like having 7 starters on your team. We have the ability to have our second unit be stronger than our first. I am interested to see how they change the game when coming in.
6. Joels passing out of the double team.
I have a feeling that Joel will be drawing a crowd close to the basket. How well can he distribute will be key.
7. Ball movement on the perimeter
Last year the ball movement struggled on the perimeter. We have the shooters to move the ball weel out there and make the Aggies pay for packing it in our bigs.
8. Offensive rebounds
We should out rebound USU. Offensive boards will be key to our success. With Braxton, Bolomboy and Hill we should be getting lots of second chance points.
9. Chest pounding and other stupid behavior
This was one of our big problems last year. We displayed this behavior even while losing. I just want to see you go out and play hard.
10. Coaching Strategy - Game and time management
Last year we waited for nearly 10 minutes to call a time out when USU made that huge second half run. We have to make adjustments and get the troops collected.
Bring it on Aggies we want this one more!
