Homework Assignment: Two things to watch for MSU/Memphis

Posted by Trips Right on March 28th, 2008 under Basketball, Uncategorized

Joey Dorsey

If you don’t know him he’ll be the only guy Memphis will have in the paint on offense. When he’s shooting FT’s, you’ll know it’s him when mothers pull their children away from the first two rows.

What to look for? Notice how Dorsey will stay on the weakside block to aid teammates looking to penetrate.

MSU Guarding the Wings

Don’t be surprised if Izzo plays the wings soft on defense. It’ll be nearly as tough on Tom as HenryJames’ avoiding a Dokken cover band, but Izzo will be concerned by the Tigers’ dribble penetration, and elect to shut it down with wing help in exchange for perimeter looks.

  1. Dokken was dead to me the day George Lynch left.

  2. An Izzo team plays out of its comfort zone for the first 10 minutes, gets behind and then quits.

    Not what I expected.

    I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

    This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball

    I posted earlier about how Collins’ effort just crippled Kansas today, but what amazed me the most was his complete inability to stay in front of his man on defense. UNI got a LOT of good looks out of penetration/pass after one of UNI’s modestly gifted athletes blew right by Sherron. The best

    At least it’s shaping up that way if Sunday delivers.

    As disappointed as I was in last year’s opening weekend of March Madness, this one is exceeding all expectations. Putting aside the fact that my bracket now resembles Kabul after the Taliban rolled through in ‘96 – a map of ordered failure –

    You know who’s bitter and angry as fuck? This guy —> ME.

    I can only hope our returning players (whoever that may be) remember this and realize they need to play motivated EVERY FUCKING GAME and put forward 40 MINUTES of effort each game.

    KSU moving on led by a hot shooting Pullen. BTW, White Mormons can shoot FTs. 22 for 25, I think. Imagine if we could shoot like that.

    Wake’s coming back on Kentucky. They’re within 25 right now…..

    Just wanted to say I feel for you guys. As a Texas fan I know how this feels even if it’s from a football perspective.

    I still think you’re the best basketball team in the country, and unfortunately you ran into a team that packed a Villanova circa 1985 type game today. Meaning they

    Wow. Wake won’t break 50. Not surprising really — we should have beaten Wake and they are not a very good team.

    We really struggled in the first half, but battled through it to get a tough win against Jacksonville.  On to Oxford!

     Forget what conference they play in, Jacksonville is a very good basketball team, and they got to Lubbock not because of a crazy bank shot at the buzzer in Phoenix, but by playing aggressive, intense defense for
