taken from Elizabeth King Forum for duke which is what i've been preaching all season. We should be playing outside/in and not the reverse. we need to establish grayson and gary on the perimeter early which will open up more driving lanes and give space to our interior guys. We become too predictable and have a high turnover percentage when we try to force every possession into our big guys.
"Turnovers doomed us.
We're overweight on trying to initiate the offense from inside and UNC adjusted for that after having played us twice. They packed it in which made the interior pass difficult and clogged up passing lanes. Not to mention all those turnovers.
We should run more plays to get the open 3 instead of trying to get the ball inside. Even if we miss, our bigs have a chance to get the offensive rebound. If we make it, they'll be forced to guard the perimeter more and it opens up driving lanes and room for our bigs to get the next interior pass and make plays.
In the UNC game at Cameron, we shot 3-13 of 3s in the first half vs 6-12 in the second half. That really changed everything.
We were getting more perimeter shots toward the end of this game (and making them) and went on a mini-run, but it was too little too late. We need to establish outside shooting earlier.
I'm not saying we stop going for inside baskets, just more that there's an optimal balance and we are trying too hard to go inside at the expense of outside. We need better balance, and made 3s will open up the game a lot so let's have some plays to free up shooters."
