the press: either we need to go all out and force turnovers or back off and sto pthe 3 ball.. we are 2/3rds committed on the press.. good enough for a turnover here and there but they have gotten some layups after breaking it.
so there is no net positive in it other then to wear down the opponent. not good enough.

I define good enough as just enough to make sure we have at least one more point than our opponent when the final horn sounds. Anything more is gravy, anything less is deficient. Remember, there are only two possible outcomes to a basketball game, and if we win, then we got the one we wanted.

Bad d accounts for a team shooting 50% not a guy making everything he puts up... Also, we've bern pressing and causing some turnovers, the trade off being layups...I agree our defense is suspect, especially on one guy in particular , but they will not shoot 60% in the second half, math says so.

they wont?... or you hope the wont?
 

Gophers got a little mojo back, but as Gopher luck would have it, some Nebraska clown can't miss a shot and keeping them in the game. Good news, unless he's the next MJ he has to start missing some.
 

dboy what have you seem so far that makes you think they will be able lock us down.

but if the press is a net loss, why stick with it?
the game within the game.

Your point? I wasn't defending the press, just stating it has aided in their percentage.
 





Why does Dave Revson growl when he wants to emphasize his words?
 









Hollins has gotten fouled shooting a 3 a few times this year. I always love it because he is automatic at the line.
 


I see a 2-2-1 press. They have switched between a 1-2-1-1 and a 2-2-1 a couple times now.

I like seeing a little variation.
 




Wow. That was a 3!


At first, I was like, WTF 'Dre! Then, it went in. :)
