N'Faly Donte Starting Tonight!

Recommended Posts

The Mens Basketball team takes on UC Riverside tonight at 7:00 PM on the Pac-12 Network.  The local paper listed Donte as a starting, and wrote about how Will Richardson and Dana Altman had a heart-to-heart to get some things going again on offense.

 

Dana said it was his fault...that he did not get Will in the spots in the offense so he can be aggressive!  Fun to watch this...

Yeah, it is interesting, we have all of the 4-5* 7-footers but none of them are/were instant impact players like the Zags Chet Holmgren. So,it well be interesting to see how this team gels together as the season progresses and who begins to shine. Then, bring in possibly a lottery pick point guard next season, teamed up with these more experienced players next year, and buckle your seat belts. But, first things first, still plenty of hope for this season.

Altman has schemes that rely on motion and length.

 

I have not seen many power plays drawn up for our big men, so the big men need to get moving!

Ducks by five at the half.

Despite sloppy and sluggish second half, Ducks hang on to win 71 - 65.  
 

Dante missed a few free throws down the stretch, but made key defensive rebounds to keep the Ducks in charge.

I can only imagine Altman's discussion with the team about the defensive effort tonight against UC Riverside. 

 

It was atrocious. They gave up so many easy buckets to small guards driving to the rim. Not to mention a good amount of offensive rebounds. 

 

Offense looked real good in the first half but sputtered for a good 10+ minutes just before half and well into the 2nd half. Lot's of dribbling by Richardson and very poor ball movement during that part of the game for the Ducks offense.

 

Overall though I really liked seeing Richardson be assertive and Dante is on the precipice of becoming a major contributor.
