And plays like he did in the 2nd half against Yale, I like our chances tomorrow
If Sasha is out of his shooting slump
- Thread starter BSIT
- Start date
If we can handle Texas' defense and win against them, we make the FF and the Final game.
Don’t expect it, he will be covered up all day which Sasha struggles with.
He got some good looks. He needs to keep shooting. Maybe an epic upswing is on the way!
Texas will have no choice but to double Edey, or he'll eat them alive. They don't have the body size to match up with him 1:1. We have to spread the court, isolate Edey and force the double team, which will open up a shooter. Or let Edey feast. The biggest issue will be making sure our guards feed the post and don't start popping 3s at will.
The other concern I have is that Tre tends to struggle against smaller defenders. And Gillis will have his hands full with Allen...

Eric Hunter needs to be ready to shoot when he gets feeds on the perimeter. To me, he has these opportunities but is not ready to shoot them often. He’s too good of a shooter not to be ready, especially if they focus on Sasha.
We're due to get hot from 3. Not just Sasha, but the entire team. It seems like forever since that happened.
I found it interesting that they are using different balls in the Tournament, as that does make a difference. As does 2 of Sasha's fingers being hurt. I have a feeling he made adjustments and that affects his shooting also.
I think it becomes mental and the 2nd half should have cleared those cobwebs.

I don't worry about Gillis at all. I think he's our most complete player.

And I think that is advantage of a second straight game in the same venue. More time to get used to sight lines which helps you from distance.
This could turn out to be Gillis' game. Double teams on Zach and Tre will free him up to shoot or find the open man. And I think Texas gets their bigs in quick foul trouble. Might be a game for Edey and Williams in a high/low post.
Unless, they double the post. Our shooters better be ready.
RE: Sasha.
Thats a big if as it stand right now. Dude is in a major slump.

Ivey will be the key to Sasha.
Ivey needs to find him in transition -- those will likely be the majority of clean looks SS gets from deep.
The last 6 games...
2/8
2/5
3/9
4/10
With two games in between those that where he was off.
"... major slump."
Not picking on you, Ron, but the stats just don't support that.
O-4
You skipped a 1-8 and another 0-4 to make your lie seem better.
The stats don't support people ignoring the stats.

Sasha from 3:
@MSU: 1/6
@wis: 4/10
IU: 3/6
PSU: 0/3
MSU: 2/5
Iowa: 1/6
Yale: 2/8
Texas:0/4
last 3 games: 3/18 (16%)
Last 8 games: 13/48 (27%)
The stats CLEARLY show he hasn’t been shooting as well as his season and career percentages. Whether or not you consider that slump “major” or not is subjective
Not sure if I recall correctly, but the comment had to do with recent woes. The stats I cited were reflective of that.
I covered that before. That was not my first post on the topic. That's why.
Again.... he's had very good games, so to make the case he sucks isn't accurate.
You serious, Clark?
Yes, the word "suck" is what I wrote, but in prior (other) threads that's been the point.
I don't think the majority of people here believe Sasha sucks. I think they just want to see more minutes from other players that might be better able to help the team at this point in time. If Sasha gets back his shooting form, then he obviously should get the minutes...
