I watched the game last night as well. FF played zone a good part of the game so Schneider was getting good looks most of the night, he just didn't knock them down. It happens, even though he didn't shoot well he still had 21. Also, when was the last time Schneider had the ball in his hand and someone set a screen for him? Our offense doesn't do it, he sets screens but never gets any set for him. At some point we need to put some of this on the coach. I like Martin, I think he has done a great job with a young team and has recruited well, however he is a new coach and is making "rookie" mistakes. Teams adjust to us but we don't adjust or change. When teams make a run we never mix things up, how about a zone for a few possessions, how about a little press or half-court trap. Even Duke, a man-to-man team occasionally will throw a zone at a team just to mix things up and confuse an opponent. The kids are playing hard and you can see are very frustrated with the losing, he needs to help them get out of this losing streak. Giving Taylor more minutes isn't the answer, we need to stop other teams runs and have well designed plays at critical moments in a game that either get us good looks or get us to the foul line.

Great point with the well designed plays. Martin has run very few set plays as he is trying to stick with the dribble drive I think too much. He just does not have the personnel right now to run that offense for an entire game. He should look to set up some good play calls that will take teams by surprise down the stretch and in the tourney.

I agree they need to mix things up. When we have teams on the ropes we usually see some sort of adjustment that gets them back in the game. When are guys are back on their heals we usually fold we don;t adjust and punch back. That needs to change.
