The only thing that would have changed if KU took a bunch of shitty contested threes in the first half is that you wouldn't be able to say "Self got out-coached." The outcome of the game would be very much the same, I'm afraid.

Try Lightfoot on Spellman, he can move his feet well enough to keep up with him. Have Lightfoot take some threes (he showed early in the season he was capable of it) and open up the offense for others. Run all of their shooters off the 3PT line even if it gives them a good path to the basket, it's better than giving them every 3PT shot they want. He stuck with Azubuike stubbornly and there were things to be done that he never even attempted and I'm not sure why.
