I know that's the conventional wisdom with Oriakhi, but although he started the year off with a terrible case of hands, he's actually been pretty reliable on those possessions when we do dump it into him. Especially since conference play began.
Agreed on part of our strategy, but the best way to do that is to drive and finish at the hole rather than take threes, which lead to long rebounds and obviate size advantages and put backs. We've done much better the last three games at attacking the basket, but it's just a trend at this point; we need more.
