This team is UNRECOGNIZABLE to me. Geo looks fast and athletic. Strength inside. Young the most dynamic player on the court. What the heck happened.

The play they ran that got Shaq a clear layup attempt (he missed) at the 4:05 mark has been something that's been missing pretty much ever since.

It starts with our regular horns set but everyone is doing something. Baker passes and then runs his curl. Harper sets a screen and passes to Geo off the curl. Shaq sets a screen and rolls toward the basket when Haarms follows Baker. Young cuts through to bring his defender away, the pass to Shaq isn't there if Young and his defender are in that corner. Only Mathis (with Stefanovic in the near corner) is idle, which is fine.

Young's defender recovered enough to barely bother Shaq but that was a very makeable layup.

And yeah I get you can't do this against zone defenses but our offense hasn't run with that sort of harmony in a long time.

That looks like a horn sets into flex action into a same side pick and roll. Multiple actions in one set make it hard to guard,m. Geo comes off the horns down screen and sets a screen( which young actually doesn’t use ) and Geo actually slips it and gets a down screen from shaq. After catching the pass Shaq dives to the rim after that area was vacated by young clearing out. Great set with multiple back to back actions which make it hard to guard

Anyone else see that bench shot of Geo today where he straight up looked like he was about to keel over?

We will beat you like a drum this year… twice
You may never win again in Mackey… but it was a shame the tournament didn’t happen that year because you were Sweet 16 good that year at least… I saw that performance in person and you were very impressive that year…

1. Two key players left the program.
2. Other key players regressed.
3. We stopped bringing B1G players into the program.
4. Something is wrong with the coaching.
(also I would say losing Mathis..who followed Shoe's to SJ counts as a key player too).

That's FOUR IN A ROW, Hayseed. Haven't won at the RAC in FOUR YEARS. Choke on it.
