MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Yes, their goal is to have every shot take no more than 7 seconds. Offensively and Defensively.

The hope is that the other team will fall into their track meet and die down the stretch. Grinnell also makes line changes at every dead ball. Ideally, they want to win every game 150-125 with each team getting as close to 200 shots as possible. Its wild, but it has worked for them.

If I were a high school coach, it is the exact system I would run, you can really overcome a lack of talent...

For those of you in the Cedar Valley that want to see a high school run it head to a Gladbrook-Reinbeck girls game. The seri a national record for points in a game last season, or the year before, running the same offense.

They set that two years ago, and I am not sure that they are running it this year, talking with their coach he wasn't sure that the athletes were in place to do it.

yeah people who are criticizing the kid are not familiar with grinnell. its a product of the style.

he still shot 38% on 71 attempts with is pretty damn good. i wouldnt be able to walk.

iowa will struggle with WSU's athleticism because they dont have anyone to guard the SF position. aaron white struggled so badly with it last night that eric may played 28 minutes.

gesell is great. he had 19 on only 10 shots and was the go-to guy at the end of possessions.

Looking forward to seeing how Gesell reacts to a physical defender. Armstead will bump and body tonight and Gesell doesn't exactly look like he has the body to hold up yet.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

did you watch last night? it was a very physical game. i thought for sure that mccabe and fant were gonna throw down.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

I did. However, there is a big difference in body types from WKU to WSU.

Side question--Why can't these lower level MTEs get decent officials??

WSU is an early 2 point favorite. bodes well for the respect coming to the MVC if the projected 4th place team is better than the projected 7th place team in the #1 RPI conference.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

I wonder where those officials were from. In both games the refs called a pushing foul, when the offensive player slipped on the floor. The one in the DePaul vs WSU game was hilarious, the WSU defender was almost 3 ft away and the kid fell down, they called a pushing foul on WSU.

It will be a decent game, I think Iowa will struggle with WSU athletes, and Iowa is going to need Marble/White/Woody to contribute. Iowa won last nights game with Gessell/Basabe carrying the load.

I think the shox win by 6-10pts

There's an article on the front of the NCAAB page on Yahoo about Grinell's system. It says

• The first shot is the best shot, no matter if it's from five feet or 25 feet, preferably 25 feet.

• Take as many 3-pointers as possible.

• Defensively, giving up an uncontested layup is better than forcing a shot-clock violation.

• The ball-handler is double-teamed at all times.

They do have a similar line change type of strategy though.

wsu outlasts iowa in a pretty entertaining game. Pretty much even except for a 4 minute stretch at the start of the second half. Ended up being a 12 point win.
