Haanif Cheatham:
Try to force him to his right.
He can knock down the right corner three-pointer but struggles mightily from the right wing.
Henry Ellenson:
Can nail the corner three-ball but doesn't make much from straight away or the wings. Try to force him to his left because he can eat you up from mid-range on the right side.
JaJuan Johnson:
Makes threes at a high percentage from straight away, the wings, and the left corner - loves to pull up from just inside the FT line or get all the way to the rim.
Traci Carter:
Shoots the three for high percentage from straight away and from the left corner - struggles elsewhere. Not a threat from mid-range.
Sandy Cohen:
Loves the corner 3-ball and finishes in the rim in transition. Shut off his drive and he will pass it - hardly shoots from mid-range.
Luke Fischer:
Other than mid-range jumpers from the elbow and the right side, he is primarily a guy looking to flash open in the paint for quick hitters. Deny him those looks and you can limit his scoring output.
Duane Wilson:
Scores in a variety of ways. Let him have that left corner three-ball - but not the right corner. He hits them at a high rate from the left wing and straight away but not the right wing. Shoots it effectively from mid-range.
Ellenson and Wilson require being covered by the most mobile Villanova defenders - when Ellenson is not on the floor, the best defenders should focus on Wilson and Cheatham.
Though Cheatham and Carter have improved as the season has progressed - they are still turnover prone … speed them up and try to turn them over. If you can't turn them over you need to control the boards … Marquette, despite having good size is not a great Offense rebounding team and they can be beat on the O-Board.
