We should press more.

Thought when we went to the 1-2-1-1 in the last 3 minutes it really elevated our intensity level. We have the pieces to do it. I hope Martin takes notice and goes with it more often.

It's a dangerous game. We didn't rotate well in the half court. Not sure how we would rotate full court.

Xavier also just being dumb too.

This team was not built to press. This is Cuonzo's idea of a typical physical Big Ten team...only it isn't playing like one.

Agree 100%. With our depth we should wear teams down by pressing and pushing the ball up the court on offense. Not sure what CCMs plan is, and that may be the problem because after 2 years of watching his teams I'm not sure he really has one.

Martin just mentioned it post game, said he wished he would've done it in the first half.

I think we should always press early to try to expose a weakness. If it works, great. If it doesn't, cut it out.

 

[Ace]

The players he recruits are perfectly suited to the press. Moore, McRae, Richardson, Hubbs, Barton, Thompson, and Chevious all have the length and quickness to press. With our depth we could wear down many teams.

Mix up the press with his traditional man defense to throw off rhythm. We have the perfect players with long arms and agility to do it as well as depth. Seems like a no-brainer.

I'm down. Anything to get us to play differently than we did. Need a spark/intensity. Need to have fun out there

 

[BOP]

I'd trade a few easy baskets on defense for a few on offense. I would do it when we get in a lackadaisical offensive state.

I agree. Need to loosen up, let the game come to them. I was ready to vomit when we were jacking up 3s early in the first without getting it inside.

It seems we do not game plan very well in either BB or Football. I cannot think of the last time we exposed another teams weakness and kept hammering away at that weakness.
