[QUOTE="Second place is 1st loser, post: 1973043, member: 749504"] We will very soon find out. I'm assuming that given the significant uptick in competition, we're going to be seeing many, many more critical end of game situations, pressure free throw situations, clock management, beating presses/traps and quite honestly, we'll be facing quality coaching staffs that have the tools(talent and depth) to be able to really cause problems. Love the Rutgers win. Winning by double digits on the road is significant. The only game, to date, that we've had critical possessions late in games was versus Marquette after we built a 5 to 6 point lead. I think we turned the ball over, at minimum, of four times in a row. Obviously not great. I don't know if this should be considered a PG issue vs a situation where we MIGHT not have a reliable ball handler? We primarily have three(TSJ, MD and TR). I think that Ty, singularly, might take too much heat, but on the whole...ball security and good decision making under pressure(to me) will be the difference between a good season and a great season. Time will tell. Hope you're right. [/QUOTE]
