Like virtually every game this season, RU decides to let one guy go bezerk. Can they please guard #22!!!

How how HOW Do you let a freshman, who destroyed you the last time you played, do the same exact thing to you again? Somebody needs to knock him over on a 3 at the beginning of the half.

For a possible 4 point.play and a team foul ? Sounds like sound strategy.

I don't know what those guys are seeing... Eugene's elbow hit Murphy in his shoulder blades.
But a hook looks like this.. you use it to get around the guy... that's not what EO did. His elbow was high.. but no hook.

Eugene wrapped his elbow and delivered a blow to Murphy's shoulder blade.

It was not a wrap like this image where the entire arm is being used.

So ru neutralizes coffey and murphy but now has adjust for the perimeter and that could open things up for those 2 again

Offensively not shooting bad just not valuing possessions

Well, that image is where you call a hook. Murphy uses his elbows all the time.

BTW.. I can see it LOOKING like a hook.. because that's how you start it.. but EO did not follow thru and actually hook him... didn't need to.. was by him.

Defenders need to stop cheating to the inside and leaving space for #22
They are then late recovering in an attempt to close out on the shooter
Baker does this a lot
