I was only able to see part of this game (while cleaning the kitchen, which was a really beeg job). UT people are going to love Osetkowsky. It's true he did have troubling finishing against Butler, but he had a great array of moves to get himself open for those shots. He is exceptional at using his size (he's 'wide') for positioning, something our bigs have not always done. He even ran the break a couple times. I am not sure yet what he cant do. Maybe Duke will show it?
If you did not see this game, you missed nothing. The first half was painful. Despite our height and size advantage inside, we made no concentrated effort to work the ball into them
F, Dylan Osetkowski, 6-9 vs F, Kelan Martin, 6-7
C, Mo Bamba, 6-11 vs F, Tyler Wideman, 6-8
Our guards did not drive, shot jumpers instead. Not constantly punishing the other guy with your advantage is not smart basketball, IMO. And our PnR game is pretty lame too. Duke is probably going to beat us. Again. Like they always do. The fun part will probably be the battle inside -- Mo Bamba vs. Bagley and Carter. All 3 of these guys are likely top NBA picks next draft. Duke goes inside a lot, which means Bamba is going to get some blocks -- his reach is unreal
