I'd love it if he could get these guys to finally figure out a zone. Hopefully the Crean supporters are woken up after tonight. <BR/><BR/>Also, how is that the Dynamic Trio still hasn't figured out what constitutes a "good shot" after two and half years of college basketball?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-53324799222680854992008-02-04T18:58:00.000-06:002008-02-04T18:58:00.000-06:00Wow we look awesome.

The passing around the permiter for 20 seconds before hoisting up an absurd shot just isn't cutting it. And why in God's name does Burke start, he makes John Mueller look like Hakeem Olajuwon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-81264690328767600742008-02-04T14:40:00.000-06:002008-02-04T14:40:00.000-06:00I think we'll see a lot of Cubes tonight. I think...I think we'll see a lot of Cubes tonight. I think we'll see a lot of rotating and different combos of Cubes, DJ, JM, and Mo as Crean looks for fresh ball handling against Louisville. They put a lot of pressure on the ball and it will take a very steady and low-mistake game on the point to have a chance. <BR/><BR/>I also see Crean trying to get Barro, Hayward and perhaps either Burke or Trend involved early making cuts to the basket on repeated pick & rolls. Once the Cards collapse their zone down a little tighter inside, hopefully Cubes and Fitz can knock down some shots. <BR/><BR/>Should be a good one, usually is.

A quick stat check shows that Fitz has made 8 threes in his last nine games - with six 0-fers. He's made none in the last three games. And seven of those eight makes came in two games. He's attempted 57 shots this season, and 49 of them are threes. <BR/><BR/>I suggest that Cubillan didn't get minutes in the Cincy game because the guys on the floor were playing so well together in the second half. Jerel had one of his better games, too, and typically DC replaces JM and MA replaces DJ. As Crean pointed out after the USF game, he mixes and matches according to matchups and needs. So it stands to reason that he sticks with what's working. <BR/><BR/>Having such depth at the guard position is a good problem to have. As a huge Cubillan fan, I'd still rather see him on the bench because the team's playing well, than have him out on the floor to try and pick up the slack or spark a run.<BR/><BR/>Monumental task tonight.

He's definitely improved running the offense, but he hasn't been driving to the hole nearly as well as he did earlier in the year. We need him and Fitzgerald to step up tonight. I predict double digits for Fitz tonight. Just a feeling. <BR/><BR/>As for mo, cubes, wes, lazar, and ooze being the best MU lineup?
