Team takeaways
- First, the offensive glass was a clear strength with 21 offensive rebounds and 43 total, led by Abdul Wahedi's 13 rebounds, including 5 offensive, while #4 and #24 added 5 offensive rebounds each. Continue the selective crash and add outlet-and-kick rules so second chances become paint finishes or open threes. Second, possession control was encouraging: the team committed only 6 turnovers, and #4 supplied 6 assists with #24 adding 2. Build early-clock sets around that ball security to create advantages rather than late-clock attempts. Third, scoring balance and two-point production gave the staff multiple options, as seven players scored, 32 of 52 points came from two-point range, and Abdul Wahedi and #25 each contributed 11 points. Continue using balanced screening, cuts, and post touches to preserve that breadth.
- First, shooting efficiency was the largest drag22 of 77 field goals (28.6%), 16 of 48 twos (33.3%), and 6 of 29 threes (20.7%). #24 was 1 for 10, #11 was 2 for 8, and #30 was 2 for 8. Reduce forced mid-range attempts, prioritize rim and paint touches plus catch-and-shoot threes, and have #4 organize higher-quality actions. Second, the team went only 2 for 12 at the foul line (16.7%), with Abdul Wahedi and #25 combining for 1 of 6 and #2 missing both attempts. Establish a consistent pressure routine and make the catch, alignment, release, and follow-through repeatable, while also attacking closeouts to earn cleaner looks. Third, defensive rebounding and rim protection need attention: Craves recorded only 22 defensive rebounds and 0 blocks while the opponent collected 28 defensive rebounds and shot 17 of 29 twos (58.6%). Use explicit box-out assignments, have the weak side gang-rebound, and keep a big available to cut off drives.
The second-chance volume and ball security are useful foundations, but converting shots and free throws while securing the defensive glass will be central to closing the gap.
- First, the team was excellent inside, converting 17 of 29 twos (58.6%), with #5 at 7 of 8, #2 at 4 of 9, and #12 at 1 of 1. Continue emphasizing early seals, cuts, and paint-first actions while preserving spacing. Second, free-throw execution was a major asset at 19 of 23 (82.6%); #2 went 9 for 10, #5 7 for 7, and #17 3 for 6. Keep the current pregame routine and late-game fouling discipline. Third, the core produced excellent two-way balance: #2 recorded 23 points, 8 assists, 3 steals, and 6 rebounds, while #5 added 24 points on 8 of 10 shooting, 7 of 7 at the line, and 8 rebounds. The team's 16 assists, 5 steals, and only 6 turnovers support the staff's emphasis on connected, pressure-oriented play.
- First, perimeter efficiency did not match the volumeThe team attempted 27 threes, 48.2% of its 56 field-goal attempts, but made only 7 (25.9%); #17 was 4 for 14 and #2 was 2 for 7. Reduce early-clock long-ball attempts, prioritize corner spacing, cuts, and relocation, and ask the staff to chart open versus contested looks. Second, the rebounding matchup was a vulnerability, with 9 offensive rebounds and 37 total compared with the opponent's 21 offensive rebounds and 43 total, despite 28 defensive rebounds. Tighten box-out calls, add a weak-side rebounder after long shots, and prioritize securing the ball and connecting quickly to the guards. Third, the staff should convert its defense into more possessions: 28 defensive rebounds and 5 steals are strong foundations, but 56 field-goal attempts and 9 offensive rebounds left the 74-point performance below its possession ceiling. Push immediately after rebounds or steals, organize the first three passes quickly, and target paint touches and free throws before the opponent can set its half-court defense.
The 22-point win was built on interior accuracy, free throws, and balanced contributions from #2 and #5; improving three-point quality and possession creation will make the performance more sustainable.
