DLo & sheed get 35-38 a game each, jones & obekpa getting ~30 each, and rotate through hooper, branch, greene, felix, dom for the other 2-3 spots on the floor. press every play, play super tight halfcourt man and force tempo to overcompensate for not being able to rebound.Even with the Westhead system, teams still have to finish layups at a good clip. Shooting the 3 and finishing around the rim on both ends were definite weaknesses. I've been a proponent of an approach like you're suggesting.You do not run on made shots. We are going to get run off the boards don't see how we could possibly run. Gathers averaged like 14 rebounds a game for LMU. UNLV had a slew of power forwards that rebounded(Gilliam, LJ) and Arkansas had Oliver Miller and Corliss Williams. We have a 6-7 guy that averaged 2 bounds a game the last year he played.you don't run as effectively on made shots, but you can still push, and if we're playing 9 we have the opportunity to tire guys out. Also, what about playing an inverse box and 1, where we play tight man on the perimeter but have obekpa half-loose, roaming underneath and just trying to block shots down low instead of trying to position him for rebounds?I don't think Obekpa will be here. If he is we will be ok.

Each day another player leaves the team, and he predicts more wins. It's ridiculous.

We lose 3 starters .. Sanchez, Sampson, and Obekpa (at least according to the above post), haven't added anyone, and you respond that we'll win more games next season than we did this season. What am I missing '75?

With all that Harrison has gone through, suspension, losing teammates, not making an NCAA tourney, etc. I wonder what keeps him here.
