We all hope they do. Realistically though, we have a large sample size now with this coaching staff (more than a decade), that suggests UC will blow out inferior teams (as most high and mid majors will) only to see players tighten up and miss shots against quality opponents. Or a failure to move the ball on offense and penetrate the lane for good looks or kick outs to open shooters when those scoring droughts set in.
There are encouraging signs--I really like Williams floor game and what he adds. But we're still looking at lots of projects offensively.
One of the most accurate statements yet, my opinion is Micks coaching style changes against quality opponents, he himself seems to be more uptight( taking guys out after one mistake, calling every offensive set, the mean face ) hard to play loose when players are uptight. He needs to be just as relaxed as he was last night and let his kids play. Thoughts.....
Maybe... but I thought the exact opposite partly cost us the Nevada game. I thought Mick clearly had a great gameplan that centered around making them run offense, score in the half court and make tough shots. I thought our offensive gameplan was a concerted effort to get the ball to the rim through post passes and driving. We got up big and we started playing fast and jacking up bad shots and Mick waited too long to reign them back in. That played to Nevada's strengths which was free flowing, open court basketball.
