13th&Jackson Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Interesting how Pearl defended Ware and Reneau. He put smaller, more athletic guys on Ware. We were concerned about the physicality of Reneau for sure, and I put my five man on him,” Pearl said. “I put my power forward on Ware and I put my center on their power forward because Johni and Dylan can wrestle with Reneau. And every now and then they got it over the top to Ware, but we doubled him.” It’s a bit of an unconventional strategy, especially with Ware. The gamble was putting Williams and Johnson — who are both listed to be at least four inches shorter than Ware — on the 7-footer with the idea their athleticism and length would make the day difficult for Ware. Pearl played his cards well. Ware only made two shots in the game. Reneau led Indiana with 15 points, though Auburn made them as difficult as possible. It took 13 shot attempts for Reneau to reach 15 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a major reason we have a decent season. I don't even want to think where we would be without him. no kidding. that is a scary thought.
