On the podcast yesterday, I expressed the opinion that the only way SC could lose is if we didn’t guard the 3-point line and we allowed Wazzu to get offensive rebounds.
Well....
Wazzu has 9 threes in the First Half. That’s more 3s than the Cougs have hit in any of their last four games. We’re simply not guarding the 3-point line. We’re overplaying the interior and underplaying the arc.
Wazzu is also grabbing 40% of the rebounds on the offensive end for them.
So the two things I warned about.
Other than not being prepared to play on defense, the other issue is our personnel usage. Wazzu only used two bigs on the court at once for 4:00 of the First Half. We had two bigs in the entire time.
