Need to get Shedrick off the floor. He is a big time matchup problem for us.

Thanks Fran.
Thanks Fran.
Huge 3, CoHawk. Huge!
There we go, Coleman. We are a different team when that shot is falling.
Hawkins just stops thinking at times.
RJ, you cannot have that lackluster a closeout. Just can't against this team

Eh, or the NBA needs to play actual basketball
Va. does a great job of spacing resulting in room for all to do their thing.

We're good in a chess match of a game, but we're playing against Bobby Fischer here.
One step forward, two steps back
We are playing their half court game. Need to turn on the press.

I think you mean "or" there.
Switching involves going under and letting the other guy step up. That involves communicating.
As a chess player, I always hated that analogy. It’s just false.
Since I blame the Bennett’s for the Wisconsin style of play, can we just vote them out of basketball?

And they do it exactly as well with 2 seconds on the shot clock as 22. Such a huge mental challenge. They are going Full Virginia on you every single time they touch the ball.
we're playing Virginia's game. We need to force them to play our game.
Great analogy....like that BU has also learned much in his 5 years at Illinois about in game coaching. But Bennett is a master of strategy and his kids sure buy in. Still looking to see the press though.
Agreed. It's been effective against them.

Dammit, Fran covering our game against Syracuse...
UVA will be in the bonus with 12 left. We're in some trouble here.
