1. Get Gabe Brown some early looks

Gabe Brown is a better player when he can find his shots early. The offense needs to get Brown some screens to run around and find him some open looks early. Gabe found some open looks early against Purdue and his whole game changed when he was able to see the ball go through the hoop.

This needs to happen again.

Gabe’s whole game revolves around him being able to make some shots. If Brown sees the ball go through the net and he is better offensively, his offense will lead to more energy on the defensive end. Brown needs to be a player if the Spartans want to make a run.

If Brown can make some shots then look out Wolverines because you will be in for another long day against the Spartans.
