Given how AAU has polluted the game and tv is filled with pros and d1 taking bad shots and making bad decisions, How do you exorcise those tendencies?
mass hypnosis?
classical conditioning?
sleep deprivation and brainwashing?
:-)
Despite our best efforts and pleadings, wlu still has guys who insist on taking shots that are not their game.
I'll also add that up to this point, we haven't brought in a lot transfers... I think a transfer really has to pass the eye test on a lot of the things you talked about for him to be considered... see Joey Withus. With the high school kids coming in, and a lot of them do redshirt, Mac really does get an opportunity to put his stamp on them.Last edited by Alfred33; 03-25-2021, 08:50 AM.

Originally posted by boatcapt View PostThis is shaping up to be a real David v Goliath match up. So what does WLU need to o to pull the upset? IMHO it boils down to:
1. WLU needs to push the pace. Don't think WLU has the horses to play a slowed down half course game. Hillsdale game is the blueprint of what WLU needs to do...Defense at 11 all game, run the ball into the offensive end, attack, attack, attack. FAIL
2. WLU needs to make at least 12 3 pointers AND shoot over 40% from 3. This has been a problem of late. FAIL and FAIL
3. WLU's "Big 3" (Bolon, Robinson and Butler) need to be at their season average scoring wise. FAIL, PASS, PASS
4. WLU needs a big game from at least one of their "supporting" players. My money is on Marlin More. Need this player to score at least 15. FAIL
5. WLU needs to have a dark horse step up and get points that they don't expect. My money is on Dyer who has proven that he can score if he pulls the trigger OR Hazelbaker who has shown he can come up big in big situations. This "dark horse" needs to be effective enough to force NW to play them honest and not allow them to sag their D to our Big 3. PASS on Dyer, FAIL for everyone else
This kind of feels like a "First team to 80 wins" sort of game.

I don't mean to start a war but...NWMO doesn't go deep to start with and WL was still pressing. If NWMO puts in players who rarely see action, they don't get ball past half court and 20 point lead evaporates pretty quickly. In the end NWMO had no choice but to keep best players on court as long as WL pressed. So question isn't why NWMO still had best players on court in blow-out...question is why WL was still pressing. If you answer because WL still had a chance to win, then that's why NWMO kept their players in.

if your coach had doubts about bench being able to handle the pressure, that would explain it. I thought he could have put starters back in if lead went from 30 to 20. Just hope that game did not take too much out of them, which typically shows up in poorer shooting. Imho they are clearly the best team. They should have no trouble with Flagler.
