[Putbacks]

James with some Super Senior mistakes down the stretch….

Don't watch basketball too often?

Watch every game. I was being a little over the top. Sometimes it’s frustrating when you can make it from long range getting clobbered with no fouls called but put up unguarded bricks at the line.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Those are massive FTs by ZZ.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Stuff like this is why I don’t have much hair

 

[Namorto1]

An experienced team like this shouldn’t have this many problems to get across half court.

 

[hUTch2002]

Please just let ZZ dribble here. Thanks for the return gift!

 

[Putbacks]

Nobody wants the ball!

 

[Frozevol]

Without Vescovi we struggle with pressure

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

We looked like we've never played against a full court press

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We definitely need to practice full court pressure. Struggling big time against it

Feels like this has always been a small issue with Rick. We weren’t exactly great against the press last year either. Not having Santi on the court doesn’t help.

 

[utvolpj]

Not a single screen to get someone open? Seems odd

 

[GBO18]

Running press break is not hard especially when you have ball handlers but we seem cannot do it effectively.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

TN can make it look as f'n ugly as anyone trying to run some inbounds.

I get it. Pure overreaction

 

[TheBigOne10]

Run some screen action, Rick. Lord

 

[87&91ALUM]

Next up….how to bring the ball in and break a press late in a game

 

[GBO18]

There you go JJJ

 

[ttocswob]

Aidoo!!

Then fouls Shannon...

 

[Putbacks]

Aidoo snowbirding…

 

[hUTch2002]

That’s game!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

DONT FOUL HIM AIDOO COME ON

 

[TheBigOne10]

What are you doing, Aidoo

 

[TartanTurff]

Not a fan of chucking the offense to run the clock down and take a crappy shot, learn to finish the team off rather than trying to hang on to a win at home

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Nice job, Men!!! GBO

Yep seems like that has been always a struggle against the press
