That's good analysis, but it's still very telling to me that a team that routinely shoots 20-30 threes this season took only 9, only 3 in the entire first half. We have been getting tons of open looks this season, most of which on set designs or drives by Chris. That didnt happen almost at all on Saturday. it was defended well. Expect Temple to do the same, but they also have Saturday's film to worry about. Film that shows we can score other ways too.

Yes, it tells me that we have a pretty smart coaching staff and team that can adjust to what is available and what is not, and win in different ways.
Boeheim must be pulling what's left of his hair.

If a team puts their defensive emphasis on the three, this Hoyas team will kill them a different way. Much better, IMO, than throwing up a couple dozen bad 3FG attempts just to get the numbers.

I think teams improve their chances of beating us by taking away the 3 - if Clark has a weakness, it is shooting off the dribble (although vastly improved there), and Freeman can catch guys hedging too much and take it to the tin. Still, I take my chances there rather than Freeman on catch/shoot. Hollis also seems higher percentage from set shooting/catch and shoot.
Anything outside of 5-10 feet for Vaughn/Henry/Lubick remains iffy by comparison. I'm surprised we don't see more 3-2 zone this year or 1-3-1. ODU seemed to get somewhere with junk defenses IIRC, and that is probably not an anomaly even if that was the first game.
One huge unknown for me is what happens when we see 2 traditional/quality posts on the floor at the same time. I really can't remember the last time we saw that - ODU seemed to go at Hollis early which was very smart but could not do much against Lubick subbing in. Query whether that holds up against a SU[] front line even.
