Trouble scoring against the zone

[Jon Macomber]

The Cats were having trouble scoring against the zone - The bulk of our 2nd half scoring came off of fast breaks, as well as some great FT shooting (19-21).  We had a lot of TOs trying to get the ball inside, and weren't able to get a lot of good looks from the outside. Only 13 FGA for Max and Hicks, and a lot of those were off of Orebs.  Fortunately the rebounding and FTs saved us.  Will this continue to be a problem?  Fortunately it seems at least one player is ready to stand out each game.

The starters played a lot, but amazingly low foul trouble (Each starter >30min and only 2 fouls each).  Loved Bright's activity and Kirkland looked like a new man.  White is solid, but far from the accolades he was getting last year before he was eligible.

But the pieces look to be there for a good team to come together.  Fortunately we have 7 easy home games before Illinois and conference games start.  Of course none of these games mean anything - the third weekend in March is all anyone will remember...
