It’s easy to say that the shooting was terrible yesterday and that’s why we lost. Watching the game you know that there was no plan in the half court. It’s baffling because against Seton Hall there were tons of deliberate cuts and motion.
Seton Hall was minus their best player in Bryce Aiken. Hard to lose twice to a team in 3 days like that.
Nova had a strategy yesterday that they obviously practiced all week. The inbounder constantly waited and let his guards set up before throwing the ball in. It slowed the game down and didn't allow St. John's to trap often. It was basic but very efficient. The little things, my friends.
St. John's just doesn't look like a well coached team. There is no cohesion on the offense. Posh is strictly a transition guy and his jumper has been way off this season. We don't have a reliable second option. Champ is limited because he is basically a jump shooter. He's not attacking the hoop. Instead of running him off the baseline around screens and the pick and roll we just scramble.
