I just got home from the game and all I can say is that it was another masterful performance by Mike White. Just brilliant. Offense as usual was stagnant as a post with 3-4 guys standing around waving their hands and not moving for most of the game. But why beat a dead horse? And early on, White had to see that he could not play Egbunu or Hayes in this game unless they were going to dominate on offense, which they were not. Vandy was able to isolate Egbunu against one of their three best ball handlers or shooter every time down the floor and Vandy either drove to the basket (which is not their strength, but they did a nice job today of it), or got enough space for a 3 point shot which is their strength. I would have rotated a combo of Stone, Robinson, Barry and Leon to guard Kornet, and force him to beat you with his back to the basket and making 2's instead of shooting 3's.
Lastly, I sure hope Mike was able to sell his last timeout to someone after the game or hope he has fun taking his last timeout home with him in his pocket. Down 2, 7 seconds left, balll out of bounds under your own basket right in front of you and you don;t use your last TO to try and set something up. And you got that look. That tells me that you have no ability to get the players to understand the situation. Mike kept 3 non scorers on the floor on that play (Hill, Cheese, and Eggy) so all Vandy had to do was guard Allen and Barry and make sure they did not get a good look at a 3 and you saw what we got. Laughable. All we needed was a 2 to tie, so drive to the goal b/c Vandy was not going to foul in that situation. Enjoy that TO you took home Mike. You were brilliant today!!!!!
