Oregon and their big 2 had me very worried going in...and proved why. That pick and roll was 100% unstoppable the way the jays were trying to defend it.
I disagree here. Coach Mac let that 2-man PnR game go the entire 40 minutes of regulation and didn't adjust to double the ball-handler until OT. That is inexcusable, given that no one else on their team could score or dribble.
Our Point of attack defender would die on the Dante screen, Cousinard gets an open look from 3 or the elbow every time as Kalk is playing deep drop and doesn't even get a hand in his face. If Cousinard misses, Dante is there for the clean-up dunk half the time because our corner defenders are playing too wide and can't box him out. Basketball 101 and we played it straight up for 40 minutes with zero off-ball help.
Holy heck coach, make that defensive adjustment at halftime when 2 guys are responsible for 80% of the points.
