Things sure don't look promising. Our lack of height inside really causes problems beyond just the obvious lack of inside scoring for us and such an advantage scoring easy baskets by the opposition. Our outside shooters, due to lack of an inside threat, are really pressured which makes their game suffer. We are a weak shooting teams, but it is worse because of our lack of an inside game.
On defense we give up way too many easy baskets. I think the press needs to be cut back on to help us defend better. Yes we get some turnovers, but I think we give up more points than we get and we are the team getting tired out, not the opponent. When we played Kent, a bigger, stronger, better shooting team, we did better when we didn't press than when we did.
Long term this method of playing will work out, but not with the current players. We need to play to our players strengths and not a system that doesn't seem to fit our current players. Go back to the fundamentals of offense and shooting and defense. Those were the skills that Idaho St had and we didn't. We were physically better, but they were better at the basic basketball skills.
