The last two games the offense has come alive, albeit, against the lower end of the conference. McCloud's shooting has opened up the floor and taken teams out of a zone, which benefits Purcell, McIntosh, etc. to cause mis-matches 1v1 and force doubles to open up the floor a bit.
With all that said, they still need a larger sample size of success leading into the WSU game....we will see if that happens.
Agree they need to do it for a longer period, but they basically had done it zero times so far this year, so 2 for the last 2 seems somewhat pertinent. Especially McCloud. As you point out, having a sharpshooter that is actually shooting sharp can change defenses and schemes. Will be interesting to see how it goes over the next several games.
