Yah, off the backboardSince at least 5 of those shots were essentially passes to Pardon....
Getting a Big Ten win with Mac playing that way is found money. And even on a bad day for him, Mac made some key plays, including a floater with 4 minutes to go and that alley-oop to Pardon near the end.
When Olah went down, I thought this would be the game plan against the Cats: Shut off the guards and make the other guys beat them. Well, Pardon, Lindsey and Falzon rose to the occasion yesterday and gave future opponents other things to think about.UN did a nice job of focusing on BMac. I think the Pardon game was somewhat the result of that.
I hope this game forces teams to concentrate more on the Cats' big men and open things up juuuuuust a bit more for Demps and BMac.
