IUPUI @ Frost

Re: IUPUI @ Frost

Looking at the box score from Saturday,I realized Marcus did not play at all,which is surprising since he has been playing more quality minutes lately. He looked fine during warm-ups - has anyone heard a reason why he didn't play ?

Nagy is a matchup guy.

That's true,but Marcus got major minutes against Buffalo,who had bigger,better post players than the Jags.

Tyler said he had checked in just before halftime but play did not stop the last 4 minutes so he could get on the floor. Coach Nagy said pregame that they would be in an 8 man rotation the rest of the way. Marcus must be #8.

Couldn't agree more. It totally had to do with matchups.

I found it interesting the other evening when IUPUI shot the ball only one player went to the offensive glass. The other four would retreat. Just another reason to play a small lineup. Go Rabbits!

Have we got the right coach or not? I think we do. Heemstra needs to save some energy for baseball.

My point exactly. Iupui has 1 major post. Buffalo had 2. Granted Tony and Marcus has decent 15 foot jump shots. Having dykstra play more minutes to spread the D out was critical.

We could get by guarding their 1 big with our 2 bigs.

The way our offense runs best is more of a 4 out 1 in. It spreads the D and gives us lanes to penetrate to the hole or drive and kick.

It seems like some people complain about not have a true 5. I'd rather not have a true 5 that can only post up and make 5 footers. This team is just so much better when we spread the court.

Re: IUPUI @ Frost

A year ago I thought the lack of a true post would continue to haunt us into 2012. Let's just say I've been converted after seeing firsthand the way our current lineup creates those matchup problems for "traditional" teams. I'd still love to have a classic 6'10 banger available on the bench, but this current small-ball lineup is working nicely. Dykstra is a 3-point sniper and that's a big problem for a lot of teams.
