This all goes to the "inside out" theory I talked about on another blog. It is so much easier to get good looks for 3s if the ball goes into the post. It is not complicated, good things generally happen when the ball goes into the paint. There are so many options when this happens.

 

Be careful. Talk like that about inside out will get you labeled as a Tubby Smith disciple.

NCC is a very solid team. Good players, smart players. Plus, their disciplined style of play will give most teams all they can handle.

 

I like watching them play.

Interesting strategy by Coach Ruthsatz to have Pauly start out on McDonald. Worked pretty well. Give McDonald credit though. He didn't force much. He passed well.

 

McDonald is very smart and plays with a high basketball I.Q for his age. Have seen him twice this year and been impressed both games.

I said in the Boone/NC thread and I'll say it again. I really like the half-court sets Grant runs.

 

One of the biggest reasons Brannen and his NCC teams have owned Holmes over the years.

He has to be one of the best coaches up, right?
