Question for all the learned basketball fans out there. It seemed like RU was always operating in traffic. On the other end, it seemed to me that Penn State spaced the floor a little better, and were able to take advantage of the screens. Do any of you feel that how they spread the floor on offense has become an issue?

It’s an issue without question. We do lots of dribble drive and ball screen action and if not spaced properly ...it will allow for help easier. Plus, as I have alluded to before...other than Our centers, we are not setting physical screens as at. ...which creates issues too

They were doubling off of screens a lot against us, and our guards were not able to find the open man. They did this a lot against Harper, Baker, and Mathis - not as much against Young or Mulcahy.

Everyone is doing that and forcing the screen to be set too far out
