This isn't the first time this season where we've been awful on screens.
I know far less about basketball, but we've had plenty of games where our bigs follow the ball on most screens, our rotation gets messed up, and easy baskets ensue. Between that and double-teaming in the low post, BC got lots of easy baskets, especially in the first half.
Based on David Cunningham's article last night, BC's scout certainly noticed our issues with screens:
“The biggest thing for that defense is the pick-and-roll,” Post said. “They really struggle to guard the late rolls, so we were really playing on that.”
I do appreciate BC for having a big man named "Post". Hopefully, our next starter at the 1 will have a name like George Point IV.
