Re: Defensive Intensity -- RayS, 05:48:43pm 12/31/05 Sat, [1]
Just got back home from the game last night. I agree with Malibu Jim re: defensive intensity, it also helped that they do not have anyone who seemed comfortable playing thepoint. A lot of bad passes. Their top scorer Efevberha played only about 5 mins. in the 1st half. In the 2nd half he got fouled & either got poked in the eye or had a problem with a contact. In fact after being attended to on the bench for about 4-5 mins, ibelieve Heard had to take his foul shots for him. He appeared to have problems with his vision for a while after he came back in the game.
That said it seems the addition of Max & Mamo helped the defense. We had trouble only when they took out their "big guy" Shewmate & put in Chitwood & Heard together. With those 2 in they looked a little quicker & more athletic. Fortunately They went back to Shewmate who was a real stick.
The worst part of our game was the offense. They didn't score for almost 5mins. of the first half & we could only manage 4 pts. 2 of those were free throws. Han looked like a freshman last night,but played decently. I think the lack of assists may be attributable to the fact that CSUN was overplaying the 3 pt. line I guess figuring they didn't have to worry about our inside game. That certainly worked to Max's advantage.
As for Carter it looked like he suffered a slight shoulder seperation. He came back out in a sling, but didn't seem to be in a lot of pain, hope he's ok he plays with a lot of heart.

Ray,
Thanks for the report. I was wondering about Mamadou's defense. Did he play similar to Max on defense combining athleticism, physicalness and agressiveness to overcome a lack of height. Or is he more like Carter and Middleton, who have the physical attributes, but might not have the athletcism and quickness.
IMO, a combo of a tall Middleton plus an athletic forward is usually is what is needed to matchup defensively with most of our opponents.

Mamadou only played a few minutes but I think he will prove to be an overall better player then Carter. No knock on AC but I think M brings more athleticism & is a little quicker. He should help offensively also. In any event he may have a chance to prove himself early on with the injury to AC.
By the way I might also mention that Han seemed to get a little tentative as the refs called him on a couple of charges, one of which appeared questionable at best.
