Boynton talked to reporters after practice this past Thursday and he had some interesting things to say about the strategy going forward. We saw it against K-State and saw it again today in the Tech game.
Here’s the quote:
“We talked about this as a staff, sometimes you can lose being stubborn,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said. “I was pretty convinced that we’d be a pretty good shooting team. I thought just the pieces we’ve got, guys reputation coming into the year, Lindy (Waters) and Thomas (Dziagwa) were both in the top five in 3-point shooting in the Big 12 last year. It just hasn’t manifested itself, so we’ve kinda had to try to invent different ways to have success.
“For us, this team has to go inside a little bit more, not necessarily posting up but driving and getting to the free-throw line. When we do that, which we’ve done most of the games we’ve had success, our numbers are much better offensively.”
