Realized I overlooked the contribution that Keita made in the first half. He played more minutes than I realized and played really good defense, got a couple of rebounds and was fighting all of the time inside making nothing easy for Duke.
Was watching the Duke game again and..
- Thread starter aj&uscgrad
- Start date
He was pretty aggressive on the offensive end too. Even though he didn't make the plays it was good to see the confidence. Hopefully, he can make big strides with his game over the offseason just like Dozier did this year.
Some of those guys were in there to physically punish Duke, even if it meant drawing some fouls. We could afford for some people to sacrifice themselves in order to pound on Duke. The strategy worked. Duke got knocked out physically.
Yep! And that senior...Jefferson??? I didn't like that whiny bitch!
Keita looks like an athlete,walks like one but when the ball touches his hand he is useless---I hope it is just freshman nerves but his shot is possibly the worst I have ever witnessed ----makes Lakeem Jackson look like an All-American!!!
He's got a ways to go but he has a big upside. I read where he grew something like 7 or 8 inches his last couple of years in H.S.. Because of that, he had to learn to play post. He had been a guard his whole life.. Hopefully, Coach FM will develop him. He really could end up being a freakish talent.
It was part of the gameplan. They basically only had a 7-man rotation. Make them work for every scrap and wear them down. We used to do that in football, too.
