Menzies plays stall ball, with no plan in play. We take a desperate last second shot or turn over the ball and our opponents run with the ball and make the shot. Control ball only works with players who can control the ball. Up until now, ours can't. <br />Missing free throws is unacceptable and also falls on coaching. The technique for making free throws can be learned and must be practiced over and over. Obviously, this isn't happening. <br />If Sim is in the game, we need to go zone defense. Man to man doesn't work with him. His height is his strength, not his speed. Use it.<br />As for the Lobo game, I don't have high hopes. We'll be out coached and out fanned, hopefully not out played. But as far as Menzies is concerned as long as we win the WAC, it doesn't matter what happens along the way. I wonder if he'll ever realize that winning during the regular season will fill the Pan Am a lot quicker than winning the WAC. Of course, bonuses aren't tied to filling Pan Am. Maybe they should be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-66376685562062314042012-12-13T00:56:24.071-07:002012-12-13T00:56:24.071-07:00Haven't proved we can limit turnovers.

Haven't proved we can keep up with teams that have size AND are athletic. <br /><br />Doesn't bode too well for the Aggies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
