Stop settling for threes! The zone kills us.

It has plagued us game after game. Why don't we penetrate the zone or at least try??

You can't just pass it around the arc for 25 seconds then jack it up. We seem to do this at the most critical of points in the game.

There seems to be no legitimate offensive gameplan today. Just passes around the arc til somebody notices the play clock is at 2 seconds

It's not just today. It's like the zone is a new concept.

It's hard to watch a team with our length take 3 after 3. That's coaxing fellas. When you have no actual offensive strategy it results in what we're watching.

I dont watch much CBB but the offense in these games is pitiful. Just a bunch of passing around the top of the 3 point lane and then jacking up a shitty contested 3 pointer.

JJ has no answer for the zone when Hornsby isn't on fire. This ain't nothing new. He needs to tell his point guard to penetrate.

Mickey should have at least a touch on every trip down the floor vs this zone

you have to beat a zone from the inside out

If we could hit a 3, we wouldn't have to settle for them. But since teams know that the only person on our team who can shoot is Hornsby, they just cover him and run a zone to lock down the paint. That's the only option.

Malone in my opinion is the cause of alot of the offensive struggles. He presents absolutely nothing on the offensive end. Can't pass, shoot, post-up. Nothing. He needs to be a sub only. Not playing 20-30 minutes. We need another guard or forward who can shoot the basketball to be getting more minutes to get teams out of that zone.

When our guards, Hornsby, Quarterman and Gray, go 10-39...we aren't going to win many games.

The double pump 3s aren't what he wants...he does that because we have 2 seconds left on the shot clock after either Gray dribbles 33 seconds off or we pass around the outside the whole time not passing in.

I'm not blaming him for having to shoot it

i'm the same as you, and blaming the entire offensive game plan

it just looks like a damn pickup game out there

hell, let him run the baseline and screen the low man to get him open in the corner. At least then he may not have to shoot every time with a hand in his face

Hell no - don't blame him. We have this issue when he isn't even in the game. Martin had two points and TQ had 4 points (so 2 more than Malone had and he shot it 8 more times). We don't try to penetrate or feed it inside on offense and that's basically the reason they struggle so much when Hornsby isn't on. All a team has to do is play a zone against LSU and defend Hornsby.
