Tennessee/Creighton: Last game of the sweet 16 but could be the most entertaining when all said and done. Teams matchup rather well and kind of have similar players on each side. Can Creighton slow down Knecht. I think they have to put Scheierman on him but not sure he has the speed to keep up with him. Creighton is great at not fouling, but they don't have much depth if the wrong guys get in foul trouble. Sneaky fun big guy matchup of Kalkbrenner and Aidoo.
I was not impressed with Tennessee's offensive execution.
Too many possessions with Knecht either getting the ball in tough spots or not at all. Guy is a legit stud and the game plan did nothing to get him going.
There is a large chasm between NBA coaching and college coaching. I imagine too much time is spent recruiting and re-recruiting to get deep into game plans and offensive execution.
There was another game where the end game sequences were horribly mismanaged by both teams.
I'm probably expecting too much from 19-21 yr olds, but I was shocked at some of the time management and late game foul decisions.
