Pope wants more ….

Think our guys are looking for them but defenses are hedging out and we’re not getting as many open looks in the half court.

IMO we need to get better at shot fake and dribble penetration to create more open kick out looks. Sometimes we look a little stuck in our half court when we can’t run our weave motion.

Pope said guys need to start cutting harder, especially back door cuts, as defenses hedge out hard.

Once they back door a team several times for layups, that should open up the perimeter for better looks. Maybe then the team can start shooting a better percentage instead of the meager 40%... bunch of non-shooting bums! ;)
 
Teams are starting to come out and take the 3 away, duke did a good job of that, but when you come that far out, there are lots of gaps.

The one thing I hope Pope gets worked out is the lack of putting a body on a body when the ball goes up. We seem to shot-watch instead of getting into rebounding position. Anyone else notice that?
