We lost bc we gave up too many second chance points and couldn't stop the pick and roll especially in OT- not surprising bc our best team defender on switches had fouled out.
Bottom line Nova is just better. Playing Dawson more wouldn't have solved our problems today in my opinion.
Dawson has shown me a better ability to feed the post. The announcers commented on how when DWill penetrated, his man would play the pass - that is all he has. He is too mechanical and slow with the ball. There is less movement when he is in the game. I do not believe DWill did much to enhance the offense today. I think Dawson could have fed the post better (where MU was killing Nova) and might have made a difference.

Would Dawson have solved our problems? Who knows. In extended play Monday he did. He did not get much of a run today to see if he could. DWill's d was bad all day as well. He did nothing to stop the Nova guards from dominating and killing MU. If he can't do it on d, then he does not add much value to the team, IMHO. And I have not been one to attack DWill in the past. I just wanted to see more of Dawson, specifically in the 2nd half.
