This is by far the furthest he has strayed away from his weekly game plan this year and it paid off. I am smirking like I just found a pot of gold.
1) Playing Iverson and Sampson together really helped. Out rebounding them by over 10 was just what we needed to keep them at arms length in the second half.
2) Unlike most games where Tubby is going deep into the bench, he stuck to playing the guys who have proven themselves on the court.
3) No 3-minute substitution drills. How many guys got in the game for us in the final 10 minutes? 7 or 8 maybe? Devoe, DJ, Hoff, Ralph, and Colt seemed to be out there for the majority of the final quarter of the game.
4) The ball screens at the top of the key worked very well. For a team that is criticized for not having much of an offense, we looked pretty comfortable running it tonight. Glad to Cobbs moving the ball and taking some shots. Again I was impressed with DJ on both ends of the floor and it is always a huge plus to have Hoff shooting well.
I am sure I am missing a few other things but overall a great game. I am very excited to see how they follow this one up. Hopefully Tubby can take what worked and help the Gophers make a fantastic run towards the postseason!
