The Tigers certainly cannot compete against a team like South Carolina when they commit 26 turnovers. Why was Maddox bringing the ball up for much of the first half? When the guards brought the ball up the Tigers committed fewer turnovers. Doug Davis has proven that he can compete against anyone. Why did he take so few shots? During stretches in that game the Tigers were fantastic. They got into trouble, however, when they let South Carolina run. Although I like the fact that the Tigers are less predictable this year and often shoot earlier in the shot clock, this was a game that Princeton should have tried to control the tempo and run the clock down on every possession. It seemed like we played right into their hands when ever we tried to speed the tempo. The only way that we can compete in a game against an exceptionally athletic team like SC is to frustrate them with long possessions and back door cuts. This was the game we played against SC a few years ago and only lost 56-48. That said, I do not want to go back to Joe Scott ball on a regular basis but tonight it would have made more sense.
