[QUOTE="I-L-L, post: 1973240, member: 747718"] I agree with this statement. There were a lot of opportunities to score after we broke the Rutgers press. First road game so we seemed cautious (which is normal and fine). I think as the season progresses and teams try to do that to us we'll end up with dunks and wide open 3s. We are too fast, have too many passers, have too many upper classmen, and we can shoot and score at the rim. I almost would like to see teams try to press us. He's probably already doing it, but hope we're practicing breaking the press in practice every day. Throw 6-7 defenders out there and have 5 on offense break it. I'm really excited about this season. We're better, but also so much more fun to watch this year. We're unselfish and nobody has an ego, which I absolutely love. Oh, and we're REALLY REALLY good at defense and rebounding (what champions are made of). [/QUOTE]
