Good win. This will help the younger players to grow into their roles.
With that said, I don't recognize this team. They do the exact opposite of what I'd consider as characteristics of a Bo Ryan team. I understand changing the way we play to accommodate the strengths (and minimize weaknesses) of the players but the team doesn't play like other Bo teams of the past.
1. High turnovers. I expect this to decrease as the players get better at spacing and understand how to play with each other. But I think the general weakness of the handle and stronger competition against B10 teams will keep that number ugly.
2. Offensive rebounding. We typically get back on defense to prevent fast breaks. Unfortunately the shooting has been so bad that I think Bo is emphasizing 2nd chances on offense to supplement poor shooting.
3. Fouling. Partially related to No. 2 as we get physical on offense. We also try to block shots instead of play positional defense.
4. One on one offense. There's very little inside outside swing offense without posting guards and bigs that cannot hit the outside shot. Again, guys don't seem to have a good feel of spacing and still learning passing angles. The alternative is asking our veteran players create a shot and that's what we're doing more often than not.
