Obviously with O'Rear out UNI has to go small and shoot 3's. So basically we can either go small with them and hope to beat them at their own game or we can play Egolf, Pross and AT and pound the ball inside on them to see what kind of adjustments they make.
Given the way they shoot, I understand that having 2 bigs out there was going to be a challenge in covering the perimeter but we played mostly zone, not man and we never played 2 big's together or went to the post in the second half. Plus they shot the lights out, maybe we should have considered some type of strategic adjustment???
If I'm Jacobson, I send Les a thank you because he made his job easy by not exposing their weakness inside in the 2nd half. Shooting the lights out helps and our perimeter D was awful, but I can't beleive we never tried to hammer them inside. 7 second half minutes for Pross, 0 total minutes for AT against a team basically playing 5 perimeter players???
