Fingers crossed the tweak will help going into the SEC tourney, just like in 2014.
Beware the "Tweak" it will sneak up on you like a thief in the night and steal your lunch money.
For those who wanna read the whole article.

When I hear tweak I was thinking derek wills and his ankle. Not sure a tweak can help this team but I'm hoping
Tweak = Willis starts playing again, and Briscoe stops taking long jump shots.
My guess is it's having Briscoe do different things off the ball to make his defender move out of the paint so our bigs can operate.
In direct response, Loserville Head Pimp, Quick Squirtino, was quoted he would be tweaking his
beak in preparation for the West End Fornicators Invitational, which is scheduled to get underway
on March 8th at 7pm, and is anticipated to last for 15 seconds.

Briscoe in constant motion as well as setting screens would make us almost impossible to scheme for. NO WAY is Cal gonna let him shoot us out of either tournament. He gave him plenty of opportunites to prove he could knock down open J's, he couldn't do it and now Cal will make adjustments (that nobody will have planned for).

Running plays to get Poythress involved early would be helpful.
I mean, how can you tweak this team? Was he sandbagging everyone by having Skal play like he was lost all season? Is he going to throw Tai in? Going to small ball?
I hope the tweak is that Anthony Davis sneaks back and wears 1 and nobody notices it isn't Skal
BTW, how hysterical would it be if he actually did throw the first 3 quarters of the season by reserving Skal and making him the "heel", knowing full well he's the next KD.
Pitino thought Cal said Twerk and sent the boys over to Minardi....
He has worked on Briscoe's shot and he is shooting over 90 percent for the f/t line, 80 percent form the field and 70 percent for 3's.. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
The Mystery of the tweak. So much stuff I wish it could be - but he's already basically said it's mental and related to building confidence. If I can get my wish list.. Ulis - change nothing, Murray change nothing, Lee - rebound and no stupid fouls (little can be done about the crap fouls that are called) hit free throws, Poythress - Score rebound and stay in the game (Ditto on the crap fouls). Briscoe hit free throws. Skal - either play the 5 or get off the floor this season. Willis - get well and dead-eye from 3. Hump - continue to step up. Matthews - take a deep breathe and just play (smart). Dom (be the March surprise - hit what you shoot). Mulder be ready... really be ready.
Last what I really wish - I wish Cal has been holding Tai back for the right time - and now it's time to release the Kraken!!!
Hey - it's a wish list - lol.

My favorite tweak would be having noncontroversial refs every game.
Give me a break . I hate the idea of " I've had this team since Nov and now I'm going to do something differently" and the lapdogs lick it up . Really tweak IB's shot selection for us coach .
ARF! ARF! Grrrrrrrrrr Ruffff. And that goes for yer cat too. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I hope it's a little more Mulder and less of Matthews. Put another player on the floor that has a chance to knock it down from the perimeter. It's worth a shot.
Cal said it wouldn't be easy to identify what the tweak is. Playing Mulder more would make it obvious.
I'm not sure if there ever really was a tweak. No way Cal let's Briscoe shoot jumpers by tournament time. That'll be a tweak in itself. Maybe Skal goes on some kind of high testosterone intake regimen. We devise a plan that keeps Willis completely out of foul trouble when he comes back. All would make us better.
I think we go total zone and win every game by 30+.

This team has shown stretches in the regular season that were much more impressive than anything we saw from '11 and '14 in the regular season, so I'm not sure why you'd point out this team as "too far gone".
Im hearing the Tweak consists of setting double screens for Willis once he steps foot in the frontcourt.
My guess- the guards make an effort to get the ball into Poy early in the game to try to get him going and engaged in the game. That is what I would do anyway.
Could it be having Briscoe run the point more with the shooters off ball on the wing? He's great getting to the rim for a layup or dishing it out to someone beyond the arc. This would open up the paint a lot more. He did say it's not a huge change, and a few more possessions of Briscoe running the point with multiple shooters on the court would be a tweak but nothing significant.
That gives me a few real strange & comical mental images. [laughing]
Catphight could do wonders with this!
Excellent observation, put Ulis and Murray on the wings. Briscoe can get to the basket driving the ball.
