Will post my thoughts on mainly miscues from the Alabama game. A lot of defensive miscues throughout the game. And some very frustrating transition defense failures. There's a lot so I'll split by half.
Start with a positive. Set play on the first offensive position. Usually for RJ to run off this down screen to DHO. But it was for Cadeau instead. Got him some confidence.
I didn't like how we defended screens under the free throw line. IMO, this should be a switch because there isn't a lot of space from ball to basket. RJ certainly can't go over here. Bacot at the least needs to jam the guard.
Cadeau slightly out of control closeout. Allows Estrada to go left (he's left handed). RJ with an overhelp and tries to do too much. Open 3. Bad all around. But Cadeau needs a better closeout.
I thought Trimble was pretty bad defensively all game. First of all, all of the help is towards the middle and he gets beat baseline. He gambled a couple of times for steals and Estrada easily gets past him for an open jumper.
Horrendous zone defense against the underneath out of bounds. Wrong team to do it against. Sears makes a big time shot, but at best, Sears gets a 1-on-1 on Washington. Thankfully we didn't go zone afer this.
Seth leans to what I think might be a fade screen for his primary man??? His man rejects the screen. Seth recovers ok. But typically on DHO at this angle, it's a switch. No communication between Withers and Trimble. Easy slip which Alabama eventually converts.
Seth gets beat backdoor due to faceguarding Sears and leans to a screen. You have help on the screen. You don't have help on the baseline. Easy reject/backdoor from Sears. Easy bucket.
Where is Bacot on this DHO? Absolutely nowhere to be found. Drop coverage against the wrong team. Practice 3.
Repeat Bacot. This time, 0 help off a screen for Alabama's best player/shooter. Cormac Ryan also shouldn't be going over this screen. You'll always be in a trail position then.
Washington plays drop coverage down to the charge circle. Layup line for Sears.
Terrible transition defense here from Cormac Ryan. You need to get the ball going towards your help (middle). You can't let it get to the baseline because there's no help here. Why is he leaning into the screen here? You have help with Cadeau on the screen?
Better from Bacot on this ball screen, but still too late.
