[QUOTE="Deleted member 746094, post: 1427905"] I agree with the half court pressure. BU has to understand there are guards at this level that literally will blow by any defender we have if they are picked up at half court or beyond. It puts the back end of our D in a bad spot whether we have a legitimate rim protector or not. What I observed last night was that the pace we dictated from our defensive pressure early almost caused us to play out of control or too fast on the offensive side. When we can create that pace at the defensive end and then learn when to push and know when to pull back on the offensive end this team will be tough to beat. If we don’t find that balance we will lose against teams that are well coached as they will eventually adjust to the pressure. I think we start out pressuring against the Zags early and if they show the pressure doesn’t bother them you will see us go to some sort of zone. [/QUOTE]
