"McKie....Perhaps someone can explain why he spent the majority of the 1st half standing stationary in a corner watching the game ??? And then in the 2nd half, he suddenly looks terrific....starts moving / looking for the ball and starts slicing down the lane for buckets and/or free throws ???"
The first half the zone offense was trying get open looks either on skip passes or penetration. I guess Travis is now considered a 3 pt. threat so he was hanging out on the perimeter. He's clearly our best post player and not that great of a shooter so it has been puzzling why we're using him in that role. Against HPU, I was hoping we'd post him up more and get him the rock but it only happened a couple of times.
I think Buzz recognized that the only way to get consistent scoring, and possibly foul Pope out was to get it to Travis in the second half. With a couple of more made layups and decent officiating getting him to the line it would've been effective. The Deacs had some home cooking laid on them by the stripes and it made it tough to narrow the gap.
