[QUOTE="PlayAZ, post: 1509277, member: 625229"] I find it funny that our staff and players preach defense/pressure/knowing assignments/etc, however we DON'T pressure defense full court at appropriate times. Should have pressured Maryland with their limited guard play outside of Cowan Should have pressured Missouri with Pinson out of control alot, M Smith not a pressured ball handler, Dru Smith bull in a china shop? I mean c'mon man, (BU) we have Ayo/Frazier/Feliz/Griffin/Williams/Jones (now)/Nichols all of which gives us length (remember that is what BU likes to recruit (length), and then we don't use it? 40 Minutes of hell we could implement easily imo, yet we choose not to use our assets? 7 players could be plugged in anywhere with little drop off in talent anywhere (hard to argue at this point) and we would lose nothing and hopefully create easy offense for this team that struggles mightly in this area. I mean if teams are thin at guard, why not press them? We have 6-7 games left that we could employ this and it may work, at least it would be more effort/hustle/pressure, all of what we are looking for from 40 min. [/QUOTE]
