1) Acuff needs to get more minutes and shake off the rust. If we are going to compete at the top of the B10 I really think his scoring punch is going to be needed.
2) Can't have Jmike and Derkack on the floor together for extended minutes. I really like both their games individually and get Pike will always favor defense down the stretch, but when you have both of them with Jwill there's just no shooting. There were too many times Dylan made a nice kick out or they just had open shots in general and would either be missed badly or not taken at all.
3) Martini and Hayes need to put up more 3's. Need more than 3 attempts from Hayes. We saw how close this game was largely due to the 3 point differential.
4) Keep getting Sommerville this experience. He's been better than I think anyone anticipated this early but its super important to keep getting him these 25 mpg against grown men in real game situations before the competition rises.
5) Would like for Pike to go to an all offense lineup once in a while that puts Ace and Dylan in the most optimal position to succeed. Harper Acuff Hayes Martini Sommerville is a lineup we haven't seen at all and I think could really do damage. Play some defense by offense especially when the defense wasn't working in the 1st half. Obviously sub in Ace for either Martini or Sommerville when he's back.
6) Need to be much better on the glass. Thought today was better with the team rebounding effort. I would expect a lot of Ace Martini Sommerville/Ogbole lineups when he's back.
