It prevented their coach from using the break to coach them through it.<br /><br />Even though it worked for us, I'd still opt to start in man to man (or "switching man"). I also don't understand why we lack intensity in that set, but we can't depend on the 1-3-1 all game. As much as its a great disruptor, as you've ID'd before, it makes us vulnerable to the open 3 or underneath if they can make that quick pass-pass out of the high post.<br /><br />I don't know much about Tulsa's guard play, but we were fortunate that LSU's frosh became undone.<br /><br />Also -- will we keep getting calls? As it's early in the season, we seem to be getting those "bump the cutter" type calls that tend to disappear when conference play starts. Getting to the bonus (and double bonus) relatively early helped us out big time as we shot 85% from the stripe.macarthur31https://www.blogger.com/profile/03948709454193554321noreply@blogger.com
