Why is everyone pressing us?

[Escape Goat]

Last few games, it's press city. Why can't we exploit it?

Won by 13. Why gripe?

Not griping about the win vs. Ole Miss, but We lost at BAMA due to the press...
It was ridiculous how hard Ole Miss pressed last night. I've never seen a team come that hard that consistently. They full pressed to half court, then they sent EVERYONE at the next pass. Obviously BAMA found a major weakness in our team...
All I'm saying is if that same press happens every game from here on out, we need to figure it out. Why is that considered griping?

It's a legitimate concern. Can't be happy with a home win against Ole Miss. Gotta worry about the upcoming games and why we won't be able to beat their press.

I believe that people are “token pressing” our team. By this I mean they are making us use time to get the ball across half court and then playing us zone. Instead of having 35 seconds to attack the zone, we now only have in the neighborhood of 25. And with our inability to exploit zones it makes it even tougher on us.

GO VOLS!

Seems to me like the defender is slightly pressuring Golden, making him take it to one side of the court or the other, then they try to trap right past half court. Bama did this really well and Ole Miss tried some of it last night. We have to get better at exploiting that.
