@benshawks08 I believe BS is taking a page from his boot camp DI’s. He’s adapting to the situation & circumstances more freely than he has in the past few years since 08, plus he has multiple better ball handlers since then. At least let’s hope so cause we don’t match up well with height as when we had a Whithey or Joel or the twins. However when a team runs or presses that’s throwing it right in the wheelhouse IMO & also the zones of trees, so far, has not been able to contain our offense. But I will add, we were darn fortunate to slip out of Wacko with a W & only 56 or so points. Running your offense for the guy with the blistering shot is what we need to be, & not a back to the basket team as in the hi lo’s of the past… That said, I still think a one dimensional offense is just too simple to prepare for. With 6’ 7" - 6’ 8" wings we can take it to a defense with much success but regardless, & quite frankly, our PG play has been the key to that success. There may be specific matchups for Perry when he’s not doubled that he can flourish, but our hot trifecta shooting has won us many games so far. The 4 out 1 in vs OU seemed clear to some of us that Bill 's light bulb is on & he’s adapting the attack to the situation-something that many of us have complained about the absence of, in particular, the Stanford game last March. These guys are just buying in more & have far better chemistry than last year’s team IMO & confident 3 ballers is what we are becoming, with an eye to the defense & attack strategies strengthening. & changing. Now, I want to see us deal with the zones better than at Wacko as I’m not sure UT’s zone was good enough to say we are really ready to pass the litmus. But I do think HCBS has this team moving in the right direction, at least for the time being.
