1/14/98: #14 Sam Houston St (16-1, 3-0) @ Texas-San Antonio (8-8, 2-1)

Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Balanced (fast)
3. Key players: Sr SG Keith Anderson (14.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg), Sr PF Shannon Beshara (10.2 ppg)
4. UTSA has the capability to match us on offense, esp on their home court; they scored 99 in their game against Texas St in their last home game.

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 zone / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5
[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

14:13, Up 10-8
Not happy with PG Davor Holmes' 4 passing turn overs already; he goes to the bench. We have kept UTSA's SG Keith Anderson scoreless so far

11:52, Up 13-11
What was anticipated as a high-scoring game, turns out to be false so far, as both teams (combined 11 turn overs) finding it difficult to even attempt a shot

7:52, Down 19-27
UTSA suddenly draining 3s. We'll shift to m2m defense.

3:56, Down 25-31
PG Ray Smith also with 4 turn overs. I'll try SG Keith Field to play the 1 spot.

3:12, Down 25-33
Even Field (2 turn overs) giving the ball away. I will up off freedom to 75


Halftime, Up 32-36
12 turnovers, resulting in only 23 FGAs for us. I've tried 3 players to play the point, and all of them played poorly. Somehow, SF Jafar Newby's 9 pts kept us in the game

UTSA's Keith Anderson with 10 pts

We'll further increase off freedom to 85 in the 2nd half. My message to the team is if you can't properly execute our half court sets today, then its up to you to figure out to generate offense

Also decreasing def rebounding to 5


Start of 2nd Half

15:52, Down 40-45
PG Davor Holmes clearly out of focus today with 6 turn overs; he's not coming back on the floor. We'll start doubling UTSA's SG Keith Anderson (15 pts).

11:58, Up 50-49
SF Jafar Newby and PF Rashif McCoy spearheaded a mini 10-4 run, and we take a slim lead.

9:52, Up 58-51
After relinquishing our lead 50-51, SF Angelo Wallace goes on a tear for an 8-0 run

7:30 Up 66-60
The combination of SF's Jafar Newby and Angelo Wallace has worked wonders.

5:19 Up 73-63
PG Ray Smith's converted on his 3 pt play opportunity to give us a double digit lead. More importantly, we have not committed a turn over in the past 10+ minutes

UTSA starting to get off rebounds, so we'll increase def rebounding to 9

3:54, Up 75-69
UTSA still within striking distance. I called a timeout to settle down the troops, and catch their breath

SAM: C Glendon Jackson (18 pts) scored from the low post
UTSA: SG Keith Anderson scores plus foul. FT is good

3:21, Up 77-62

SAM: PF Rashif McCoy missed
UTSA: PF Shannon Beshara scores

2:47, Up 77-74

SAM: SG Keith Field drives. Missed. But Field gets his own off reb. Puts up another shot. It's good. Up 5
UTSA: Anderson called for traveling

2:13, Up 79-74

SAM: Turnover by Smith
UTSA: Another traveling violation for Anderson
SAM: Newby missed, but he gets the off rebound. He passed to Johnson. Johnson got fouled. UTSA is in the penalty. 2 FTs. Johnson splits.

1:28, Up 80-74

We'll slow down the pace

UTSA: Another turnover
SAM: Jackson making his move inside. He took extra steps. UTSA called a timeout

0:48, Up 80-74

They would most likely go to Anderson, so I reminded the team to double him

UTSA: Good denial defense by Wallace on Anderson. Someone else took a quick shot. Missed. We got the rebound. Time out

0:33, Up 80-74

SAM: Smith got fouled quickly. Smith converted both FTs to make it a 3 possession game. No chance for UTSA now


Final score: Sam Houston St - 83, Texas-San Antonio - 77

[/INDENT]


Post Game Notes

[INDENT]1. A "character-building" win, as the players took accountability of their poor play for almost three-quarters of the game, and successfully figured out among themselves how to turn things around.
2. C Glendon Jackson was consistent and reliable once again. SF's Jafar Newby and Angelo Wallace found ways to co-exist on the floor, and engineered a run to get us the lead
3. UTSA's Keith Anderson finished with 20 pts, but only scored 4 during the last 15 mins of the game.

Game #19

Postby randy » Thu Nov 07, 2013 3:30 am

1/18/98: #14 Sam Houston St (17-1, 4-0) @ Texas A&M Corpus Christi (9-8, 3-1)

Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Outside (slow)
3. Key players: Sr SG Tony Driver (15.2 ppg, 3-time All Conference)
4. Driver averaged 22 ppg in their last 2 games (both wins). They play the slowest tempo in the conference, and forces their opponents to commit turn overs (2nd in DTO% in the conference). Their glaring weakness is rebounding (among the worst in the nation)

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 9 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 5
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: M2M (double on Driver) / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

We'll try to speed up the game, and run at every opportunity

[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

15:34, Up 10-7
Both parts of our game plan is working: play a quick pace, and take away Driver from their offense (he has not been able to put up a shot)

11:54, Up 20-14
We're shooting 10-11 FG (91%)

7:54, Up 22-19
We're lapsing again on turn overs. TAMCC chipping away to our lead via FTs

3:28, Up 35-32
SF Jafar Newby (9 pts) carried our offense the last 5 mins. We have limited TAMCC's Tony Driver t only 3 pts so far, but his team mates have stepped up to keep the game close


Halftime, Down 41-49
A barrage of fouls were called against us the rest of the half. I got warned by the refs for yelling. TAMCC capitalized by hitting 16-19 FTs

We will decrease def intensity to 6


Start of 2nd Half

14:29, Down 48-57
Worried about being called for soft fouls again, our players laxed on defense which proves costly. TAMCC hitting shots after shots. We'll take a risk and increase def intensity back to 9

11:10, Down 54-62
We need a couple of stops; can't afford to just trade baskets with them

5:53, 64-70
We closed it down to 2, 60-62, but TAMCC answered back. C Glendon Jackson (18 pts) keeping us in the game

4:10, Down 71-75
We cut down the lead to 4, after SG Keith Field (12 pts) hits a long 3

A miss by TAMCC. We rebound, but turned the ball over.

3:34, Down 71-75

TAMCC: Another foul on us. We're on penalty. They hit both. Down 6, 3:37. We will press all the time from now on
SAM: C Glendon Jackson missed. he gets his own miss. He tried again. He scores.

3:22, Down 73-77

TAMCC: Another foul. PG Ray Smith fouled out. Earlier, PG Devor Homes also fouled out. My thin guard rotation now depleted. They miss the fron end of a 1-1. We get the rebound
SAM: We look for a quick shot. Field drives to the hole. He missed
TAMCC: Called for traveling
SAM: Field missed on his drive again. Ball goes uot of bounds. Last touch on TAMCC. I called a time out

2:20, Down 73-77

SAM: This time we go to Newby. He drives and scores. Newby has 19 ots

2:03, Down 75-77

TAMCC: Their PG scores on a jumper. Lead back to again. 1:49 left
SAM: Newby has the ball again. He elected to take a 3. Miss
TAMCC: Another foul on us. It's Newby's 5th. They hit both. Timeout

1:23, Down 75-81

We'll look for 3 pt shots.

SAM: We can't find an open shot. We turned it over at the end. 0:59 left
TAMCC: They turned teh ball over. 0:35 left. Timeout

Final instructions: Quick 3. And then we foul.

SAM: Can't get a shot again. Turn over.


Final score: Sam Houston St - 75, Texas-San Antonio - 83

Post Game Notes

[INDENT]1. Our lack of depth on the guard positions was exposed today. More than the foul troubles we had, we didn't play good defense. We focused out attention too much on Tony Driver, and forgot about the rest of the TAMCC players; we paid the price on that
2. I am pleased though for C Glendon Jackson, who again showed his consistency. SF Jafar Newby has been aggressive on offense lately, which is a good sign
3. Tony Driver led a balanced with 14 pts, along with 3 other TAMCC players scoring in double figures

Postby randy » Thu Nov 07, 2013 10:24 am

1/21/98: Texas-Arlington (8-10, 2-3) @ #13 Sam Houston St (17-2, 4-1)
Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Balanced
3. Key players: Jr SF Tezale Mixson (9.4 ppg, 4.2 rpg)
4. TXAR has a tall starting unit: SF Mixson plays the 2, and 3 centers start on their front court. They turn the ball over a lot (#12 in the nation), which is most likely the result of having only 1 guard in the starting unit

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

15:14, Down 6-10
We have not had an attempt from the low post; need to get the ball down low. We'll also increase press frequency to 7, as TXAR has yet to commit a single turnover

11:27, 16-18
Starting to force some turn overs against them, but TXAR shooting at a high clip (67% FG)

7:35, Up 28-21
Our wing players, SG Keith Field (8 pts) and SF Jafar Newby (6 pts), taking advantage of their quickness against their slow-footed defenders

3:17, Up 41-23
After their good start, TXAR's offense has gone to halt; 7 turnovers in the last 12 mins. Meanwhile, Newby continues to slice their defense.


Halftime, Up 47-23
We limited TXAR to only 5 pts in the last 11+ minutes of the half. Despite TXAR's 3-center lineup, we did not allow them to get a single off rebound.

SF Jafar Newby leads all scorers with 14 pts; SG Keith Field with 10 pts. TXAR's C Eli Seabrooks (who plays the 3) has 6 pts; SF Tezale Mixson went scoreless


Start of 2nd Half

15:05, Up 54-32
TXAR's SF Tezale Mixson scored 5 straight pts, but not enough of a run for them

11:03, Up 56-32
Both teams missing their shots, which we dont really mind with this lead

6:49, Up 62-42
We'll start clearing the bench


Final score: Texas Arlington - 59, Sam Houston St - 82


Box Score

[INDENT]Newby 18, 4, 0 (*)

[/INDENT]


Post Game Notes

[INDENT]1. SF Jafar Newby continues his good offensive form, and attacking the rim. Also, nice to see PG Devor Holmes hitting outside shots
2. TXAR's PG Travis Ostler finished with 13 pts (3-7 3PT), but majority of his pts came during garbage time. SF Tezale Mixson had 8 pts

Postby randy » Thu Nov 07, 2013 11:30 am

1/21/98: #15 Sam Houston St (18-2, 5-1) @ Lamar (6-13, 2-4)

Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Balanced (fast)
3. Key players: Jr SG Eric Willias (14.2 ppg), So PF Starzee Coffee (9.8 ppg, 5.9 rpg, Conference Freshman of the year last season)
4. A tricky matchup for use, as Lamar has the players to put pts in a hurry. They lost a couple of close games this season, so that 2-4 record is not indicative of their capabilities

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

We'll shift to m2m defense in case their shooters connect consistently from the outside

[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

14:55, Up 6-0
LAM is 0-8 FG (0-4 3PT). We're only slightly better at 3-9 FG.

11:52, Up 16-5
C Glendon Jackson dominating the boards, with 8 rebs already. LAM continues to struggle on their shots; backup SG Vernon Jones scored all of their 5 pts.

7:32, Up 31-13
We have committed only 1 turn over so far

3:48, Up 35-19
LAM reduced the lead to 12 on their mini 6-0 run. I called a timeout to break their momentum, and increased the lead again


Halftime, Up 41-27
LAM made another run just before end of the half. They are getting off rebounds, so we'll increase def reb intensity to 8

PF Linehan Johnson with 10 pts; C Glendon Jackson double-figure rebounding already with 10. LAM's SG Vernon Jones has 9 pts on 4-4 FG; the rest of his team shot 7-28 FG


Start of 2nd Half

15:26, Up 49-37
We're doing just enough to quench any runs made by LAM

10:53, Up 59-44

7:10, Up 68-57
After going scoreless in the 1st half, LAM's SG Eric Willias has connected on 4 3s in the 2nd to keep them in the game. PF Linehan Johnson (18 pts) continues his good game offensively

3:15, Up 79-65
We'll max out def rebounding, and slow down the pace


Final score: Sam Houston St - 84, Lamar - 67


Box Score

[INDENT]Johnson 18, 5, 3 (*)
Field 18, 1, 1
Jackson 15, 14, 0
Newby 10, 2, 5

Smith 8, 3, 7, 3 tos
Wallace 2, 6, 0

[INDENT]FG: 51-37%

2nd Chance : +3
Fast Break: Even
[/INDENT]


Post Game Notes

[INDENT]1. I am pleased with only 6 turn overs, and how we executed our plays. Good balance in offensive production, as we always have someone hitting clutch baskets whenever LAM threatens to make a big run
2. If not for LAM's horrific start, the scoreline would be closer. SG Eric Villias had 12 pts, all in the 2nd half

1/28/98: #15 Sam Houston St (19-2, 6-1) @ Nicholls St (9-11, 3-4)

Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Inside
3. Key players: So PF Marcus Taylor (7.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg)
4. NIC is 3-0 at home, mostly getting their pts from the inside (36 inside ppg).

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

(Last meeting) We beat them at home 84-57, by forcing them to shoot from the outside.
[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

15:30, Up 12-8
NIC's PF Marcus Taylor beating our zone by hitting medium-range jump shots.

11:28, Up 20-10
C Glendon Jackson unstoppable down low, 10 pts on 5-5 FG

6:34, Up 26-19
NIC's reserve SG Brandon Beshara giving them a lift off the bench, scoring 7 straight pts

3:29, Up 28-24
Our offense went to sleep mode when C Glendon Jackson sat on the bench; I'm putting him back in now


Halftime, Up 40-29
We had a good run towards the end of the half, forcing turnovers and getting 2nd chance pts

C Glendon Jackson leads all scorers with 12 pts

NIC's SG Beshon Beshara with 7 pts, and PF Marcus Taylor had 6 during the early goings but went scoreless in the past 15+ mins.

Lowering off reb intensity to 7, as NIC has scored 11 fast break pts


Start of 2nd Half

14:50, Up 50-43
We started hot scoring the 1st 6 pts of the half, but NIC came back stringing 4 3s; NIC is now 7-13 3PT. We will now shift to m2m defense

11:33, Up 53-48
NIC continues to chip away our lead; they have multiple shooters contributing, so hard to pinpoint who to double team

5:27, Up 71-60
NIC continued to shoot well, but we had a nice run on our offense as well, mostly coming from our front court


Final score: Sam Houston St - 77, Lamar - 60

Post Game Notes

[INDENT]
1. NIC's shooting finally cooled down towards the end of the game. We also didn't allow them a single pt on transition. A good win against a team who plays well on their home court
2. Everyone on man main 8-man rotation had significant contributions. It is worth noting though that PG Devor Holmes had one of his better all-around game today, dishing out 7 asts and zero turn overs
3. NIC had 9 3s, which we were willing to give them at the start of the game, but clamped them down on the perimeter towards the end. SF Derek Holcomb led NIC with 12 pts; PF Marcus Taylor with 10 pts, 5 rebs

Postby randy » Fri Nov 08, 2013 9:42 am

2/1/98: Central Arkansas (7-14, 2-6) @ #15 Sam Houston St (20-2, 7-1)
Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Balanced (slow)
3. Key players: Sr PG Darius Walker (9.3 ppg, 3.7 apg, 49% 3PT)
4. UCA slows down the game because they won't have a chance winning a shootout; they are last in the conference in FG% (42%) and 2nd last in points scored (62 ppg)

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

(Last meeting) We beat them on the road, 76-59. Game was close until the last 6 mins of the game, when Newby scored all of his 9 pts in a big run. UCA's Walker had 13 pts in that game
[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

15:57, Up 9-4

11:51, Up 17-6
UCA clearly trying to slow down and control the pace, but they're shooting only 21%

5:25, Up 41-16
C Glendon Jackson (13 pts) is unstopable in the shaded area. The rest of the team making this game look like a practice drill (we're shooting 72% FG)


Halftime, Up 52-30
Once we were able to dictate the tempo of the game, UCA wasnt able to matchup our fast-paced offense. UCA shot well towards the end of half, upping their shooting to 44% FG, but clearly it wasn't enough to close the gap

C Glendon Jackson with 13 pts, SG Keith Field with 10 pts mostly from penetration in the lane.

NIC's 2nd unit scored 22 of their 30 pts in the 1st half. PG Darius Walker a non-factor with only 2 pts


Start of 2nd Half

15:43, Up 58-35

11:55, Up 70-41
SG Keith Field (18 pts) continues to be active in the 2nd half

7:52, Up 76-45
Bench warmers getting ready to see some action

Post Game Notes

[INDENT]
1. One of the best 1st half of basketball we've played this season; we simply coasted in the 2nd half with the reserves playing majority of the minutes. We continue to take care of ball, averaging less than 7 turn overs in the past 3 games.
2. PG Ray Smith may not be scoring as much lately, but he has developed into a good all-around payer contributing in many areas
3. Reserve SG Anthony Payne had a good 2nd half, finishing with 15 pts. PG Darius Walker with 8 pts (1-7 3PT)

Game #24

Postby randy » Fri Nov 08, 2013 9:50 pm

2/4/98: #15 Sam Houston St (21-2, 8-1) @ Texas St (11-11, 4-5)

Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Inside
3. Key players: Jr C Jean Goodwin (16.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 55% FG), Jr C Kenyon Richardson (10.6 ppg, 6.1 rpg)
4. TEXST is 3rd in the nation in FTAs; they average almost 24 a game, and shoots a very good 75%

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

(Last meeting) We beat them at home, 78-56. We took away their inside game early on, and led 27-6. Expect another good battle inside between the 2 best big men in the conference, our own C Glendon Jackson up against TEXST's C Jean Goodwin
[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

15:46, Up 8-5

11:47, Up 14-10
We're forcing TEXST to shoot from the oustide again, limiting them to just 31% FG

7:25, Up 22-12
TEXST relying too much on C Jean Goodwin (7 pts) as he has taken more than half their FGAs (Goodwin if 3-9 FG). More importantly, we have limited TEXST to just 2 FTAs so far. SF Jafar Newby provided the lift off the bench, scoring 6 pts

3:47, Up 29-17


Halftime, Up 35-17
Excellent defensive effort, both on the half court and on transition, allowing TEXST to shoot poorly at 24% FG (and only 2 fast break pts allowed, despite our 5 turn overs)

SF Jafar Newby with 10 pts, PF Linehan Johnson with 6 pts, 5 rebs. Aside from C Jean Goodwin (7 pts, 3-10 FG) and SG Billy Pleick (6 pts, 2-5 3PT), TEXST's offense can't get anything going

We'll increase def rebounding to 8 in the 2nd half


Start of 2nd Half

14:30, Up 47-23
TEXST made defensive adjustment using 3-2 zone to start the 2nd half; took us a while to adjust, but PG Ray Smith and SG Keith Field got their stroke from the outside. C Glendon Jackson has "quietly" sneaked in with 10 pts, 8 rebs

10:11, Up 53-25
TEXST C Jean Goodwin has gone scoreless in the 2nd half

6:14, Up 62-34
Bench warmers getting ready to come in


Final score: Sam Houston St - 69, Texas St - 42

[/INDENT]


Post Game Notes
[INDENT]1. Our shot weren't falling on our half court sets; we got our pts mostly from 2nd chance and fast break pts. Despite our below-average offensive performance, it was our defense that made this game a blowout
2. C Kenyon Richardson was the only consistent TEXST player in the 2nd half, finishing with 12 pts. C Jean Goodwin had difficulty solving our defense, with 7 pts, 7 rebs, 3-17 FG (he got 6 blks though). TEXST only went to the line 7 times today, 17 below their average

2/8/98: Texas-San Antonio (13-10, 7-3) @ #13 Sam Houston St (22-2, 9-1)

Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Balanced (fast)
3. Key players: Sr SG Keith Anderson (14.9 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 2-time All-Conference 1st team). 2nd leading scorer, PF Simon Beshara (8.3 ppg) is injured
4. With Beshara out, UTSA will start with 3 centers on their front court

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

(Last meeting) We beat them on the road, 83-77. We trailed up until early in the second half, as our half court execution was in disarray in the 1st half (12 turnovers). SFs Jafar Newby and Angelo Wallace tookover our offense, by repeatedly driving to the lane.
[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

15:48, Up 6-4
Both teams missing a lot shots, but we're getting more opportunities (4 off rebounds)

11:41, Up 18-3
Shooting is only 40% FG, but we're picking those off rebounds (7 already) like strawberries in the field. C Glendon Jackson looking solid again, 8 pts and 4 rebs. UTSA's SG Keith Anderson is 0-7 FG

7:55, Up 30-3
UTSA forced to call 2 timeouts already; they are 1-14 FG (7%!)

3:27, Up 44-21
UTSA finally getting some rhythm offensively, but we're answering back on offense also


Halftime, Up 56-26
Just as when UTSA is pushing for a big run to cut the deficit into a reasonable margin, SG Keith Field (14 pts) converted 2 3s to pull away our lead further

UTSA's C Nick Calhoun played a good 1st half with 8 pts. SG Keith Anderson continues to struggle, scoreless at 0-8 FG


Start of 2nd Half

14:33, Up 68-41
UTSA's SG Keith Anderson scored his 1st 10 pts in the game; it could be a little too late for him though. SG Keith Field (20 pts) continues to score on our side

11:31, Up 78-49
Fans treated to a scoring duel between Anderson (16 pts, all in the 2nd half) and Field (24 pts)

5:04, Up 95-57
Only question is, can we reach 100? Our home crowd is shouting to go for it

3:03, Up 101-60
Crowd favorite 7-1 walk-on C Mark Lampley got the ball in the post. He powered his way to the basket. Slam dunk! What a way to get to 100 pts. The crowd loved it


Final score: Texas-San Antonio - 68, Sam Houston St - 107

Post Game Notes
[INDENT]1. What a performance by Keith Field today; he was in the zone.
2. We have our transition in full gear the past 2 games. Definitely good sign, a month before heading to the conference and NCAA tournaments. Also, good to PG Ray Smith getting back his groove in the offense.
3. UTSA had good stretches in offense, but they weren't able to recover from that poor start. SG Keith Anderson finished with 16 pts.

Game #26

Postby randy » Sat Nov 09, 2013 1:13 am

2/11/98: Texas A&M Corpus Christi (12-12, 6-5) @ #13 Sam Houston St (23-2, 10-1)

Scouting Report
1. Primary defense: M2M
2. Offense focus: Outside (slow)
3. Key players: Sr SG Tony Driver (15.9 ppg, 40% 3PT, 3-time All-Conference team).
4. TAMCC on a 3-game losing streak, averaging less than 50 pts during that slump

Initial instructions

[INDENT]1. Offense Sets / Focus: Auto / Favor Inside
2. Offense Pace / Freedom: 8 / 35%
3. Off / Def Rebounding Crash: 9 / 7
4. Defense Sets / Intensity: 2-3 / 8
5. Pressure Set / Frequency: Auto / 5

(Last meeting) We lost on the road, 75-83. We focused our defense on Driver too much, leaving his team mates to score. TAMCC also had a +16 in FTA in that game.
[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

14:15, Down 9-12
All of TAMCC's 4 field goals were 3s. We shift to 1-2-2 defense

10:41, Down 9-14
We slowed down their outside shooting, but we're not converting our shots as well. Aside from C Glendon Jackson's 3-5 FG, the rest of the team is 1-8 FG.

7:44, Up 19-17
Instant offense from SF Jafar Newby (6 pts)

3:55 Up 25-19
TAMCC has gone 0-7 3PT, after starting 4-7.


Halftime, Up 38-22
The adjustment to go 1-2-2 paid dividends as TAMCC shooting went ice cold. Our FG% also improved, converting 13 of our last 16 FGAs

C Glendon Jackson and SF Jafar Newby in double figures, with 11 and 10 respectively.


Start of 2nd Half

14:33, Up 50-24
TAMCC's offense in disarray; if they are not missing forced shots, they are committing too many turn overs

11:01, Up 60-26
TAMCC's game too painful to watch: 22% FG, 16 turnovers

7:44, Up 68-30
Early rest for our key players; don't want to risk injury at this time of the season


Final score: Texas A&M Corpus Christi - 46, Sam Houston St - 84

Box Score

[INDENT]Jackson 17, 8, 0, stls (*)
Smith 16, 3, 6

Johnson 4, 6, 0
Wilson 4, 1, 1

REB: +16
TO: -13 (9-22)
Paint: +50 (62-12)
2nd Chance : +8
Fast Break: +12 (16-4)
[/INDENT]


Post Game Notes
[INDENT]1. We continued t do the 2 things we have done well lately: minimize turn overs, and get easy baskets in transition
2. We seldom use the 1-2-2 zone, but that is part of our practice schedule; it paid off today
3. No TAMCC player scored in double figures (their top scorers only had 6). SG Tony Driver got shackled today, finishing with only 3 pts, 1-9 FG, 4 turn overs
