[QUOTE="IllinoisssssssVarsity, post: 1812185, member: 747262"] I wouldn’t be surprised if Syracuse gave us major problems when we catch them. We have time to find rhythm but our half court offense isn’t super clean yet. If we don’t find enough rhythm between now and then, their zone will give us problems. Defensively we need to clean up our switches in the half court. We allow a lot of free runners, which can happen when 2 defenders end up going in the same direction. Communication. The good news is both of those are cleaned up with more time and game reps. I LOVE our press. 95% patient and catch them with a trap call 1-2 times per half, or when they just make the mistake and it’s an easy read. Excited to see that we busted out the Princeton point series tonight. I think that’s an Edey killer when we see Purdue. Run it with a “5” that can shoot and Edey HAS to step up. Run it with Dainja and Edey can sag, but then he can’t show on the ball screen. I know that’s looking way ahead, but that dude was a tough matchup for us when we had the best option in the country to guard him, we gotta wear him out. [/QUOTE]
