Well said... and I'll add to that improvement in post-up footwork and stronger moves to the rack.
Stronger moves to the basket is dead on coach. Brooks looked legitimately terrified in that game, and once Huff was blocked twice in a row he shriveled ditto for Manley. The front court is going to be really good next yr and he yr after. They are gonna have good games and bad games yesterday was a bad no horrible game for them. It didn't help that berry let the msu PG get him out of his game. I never thought I would say this but berry was out toughed that game. It then trickled down to all the other guards seventh Felton all the guards except pinson didn't even try to drive. Shame cause our first shot defense was phenomenal most of the game. As I said in another thread this team as green as it is is still elite 8 good and once you get there anything else is icing on top
Well, I won't rehash the PG issue in that particular game, but at some point there have to be actual rules enforced. And BTW, JB took their guy out of his game worse. I'll just leave it by saying once Joel gets that crap off his hand and the nagging gathering issue goes away you'll see something on a whole different level on the offensive end. No worries at all there.
Kennedy and Hicks were grown-ass men in there. The way big Meeks handled that behemoth from Gonzaga was key for us.
Meeks was in better shape than that polish sausage from Gonzaga last year. We all saw Meeks physical transformation over his 4 years. But he still came in at 6'10 275 at the combine in June. Meeks was a large man.
