[QUOTE="NarrowJ, post: 1972460, member: 748804"] Rutgers is athletic and they run that press really well. They kept switching it up from 1-2-2 to 2-1-2 etcetera. More turnovers should be expected when you're up against something like that, but we also beat it more than a few times with easy buckets and the energy they used running it had them totally gassed by the 8 minute mark in 2nd half. I'm actually more on the side of we were successful enough against it that I'm not sure other teams watch that and think it'd be a great idea to press us. We have an absolute lightning bolt at SG, length at every position which helps us move the ball up the floor with passes that smaller players wouldn't get away with making or catching, and bigs who can sprint down the floor.
