[QUOTE="blmillini, post: 1175920, member: 6575"] I agree. Desire, Quickness and I would throw in a little basketball intelligence as well. We do have good enough athletes that we should be able to defend. Unfortunately, we've never really seen it with Groce's teams other than his first year and I would argue that much of that was carry over from Weber. I think Groce allows them way too much freedom and that translates into weak defensive effort and poor shot selection, a combination that is killing us. It appears to me that the emphasis is on getting back on defense in transition to the detriment of offensive rebounding, rather than effort in the half court. [/QUOTE]
