Be interesting to see KPE rating in just last 7. Offensive not as good -+- D off the chart.
Man, who wouldn't want their kid to play for Painter??
Was just about to post this - what a defensive jump this team has made. Keep it up Boilers because D travels - last two games our shooting percentage has been abysmal and we won both and on the road. It’s been fun to watch this team buy in on that side of the ball!
They are very connected defensively. Even when they are scrambling in rotations the guys know where they are supposed to be and hustle their butt's off to get their. Great coaching and effort/focus by the guys.
Braden is turning into quite the free safety. His court vision is paying off on both ends.
Furst helps and moves so well on D. Inthe right place 99% of the time.
Having Harris, Cox, Colvin gives this team some perimeter depth on D they haven't had in awhile.
The coverage when Braden leaves his man is typically pretty quick. I know it is all about whether Braden gambles , but the rotation to get in position to cover typically is pretty quick. I don’t know if Braden says anything or they are also tuned into where he his as he may go from one side of the court to the other
Furst did a great job when switched on shelstead today. And even burgess has a good defensive play when switched on shelstead and after shelstead shot a terrible shot (one of many) Myles almost got the rebound from their 7 footer, bittle
Smitty had four more steals today.....lately he's getting them primarily with the back-side double near the block/baseline and reading the skip/cross-court and intercepting.
Boilers were also really good on the glass today - offensive boards really helped keep them in touch in the first half with the frigid shooting.
Outrebounded em!
Smith has been great defensively. And the whole team since the lineup change:
Points given up:
Minny: 61
Northwestern: 61
Rutgers: 50
Nebraska: 68 (but we scored 104)
Washington: 58
Oregon: 58
3rd SOS too.
Furst has transformed the defense. He can switch out on any player and stay with them. Gives more rebounding and size down low as well. Cox is a good defender too. Everyone is playing much better defensively and I love the all switching defense which is a FIRST under painter and something I have wanted for a long time.
As ma y are aware from past tirades I LOATH the drop coverage with ball defender trailing ball handler on PnRs. I absolutely despise it. As a former player I wanted defenses to play me exactly like that so I have never understood doing it.
So glad we changed
