Couldn't agree more. I've lamented about our utter lack of out of bounds plays all season.I don't know. I do know that our under the basket in-bounds plays are terribly conceived. We usually line up four on the baseline, one guy goes to the hoop, and we throw an over the top lob to a post 20 feet from the rim.
I can't tell what the offensive scheme does Tubby run. Anyone want to take a shot at what they trying to do on offense?
The gophers have an offense. It's been proven we have scorers, but the inside game is suspect.
We live in a physical conference and we don't have physical players in the paint. We have a point guard who is able to deliver the ball. But no movement to set backdoor plays, no pick and rolls, or double picks. No inside/out high or low post plays. Just passing around the perimeter.
The other teams in the conference have scouted our guys. They know to double down and step in passing lines to nolify the inside threat. If our point guard penetrates the defense just rotates over and shuts all the passing lanes down. That's due to a lack of rotation by players without the ball. We need to work on this. We've got the scorers.

We don't like to admit that we just don't have the personnel yet to dominate in the Big Ten. No amount of strategy or coaching will overcome that. We'll continue to look bad this season against quick, athletic teams because there is great coaching in this league. Teams that are coached to defend and also have both power and perimeter games will overmatch us. We're just not there yet.
The loss to Northwestern is the one that stumps me.
