And Trent coming off the bench.?

I don't see how we hang with Maryland with our current defense. We know that the pressure defense sucked last year but it gave us a chance to stun a better team. I don't feel like we can play Maryland straight up and walk away with a W. I would like to see some pressure today.
I should drop it, but it's been bugging me all season that we left several practices days on the table at the beginning of the season because of the summer trip. It sure looks to me like we could have used the extra work.It seems like if Kofi and Giorgi are both on the floor we should be switching between a 1-2-2 zone and a 3-2 zone. This will keep Giorgi and Kofi closer to the rim but still protects the 3 point line. If the opponent is hitting more 3s or driving the lane more would dictate which zone we show more often.
If we only have Kofi or Giorgi on the floor, then we can start mixing in man defense as well.
The keys to winning are going to be ON OFFENSE feeding Kofi and Giorgi inside, keeping the lanes open for Ayo and Feliz (and Tevian) to penetrate off the dribble, finding the open shooter in Trent and Griffin (and maybe Ayo or Tevian). ON DEFENSE keeping Kofi inside the 3 point arch at ALL times, being in position to close out on outside shooters, not turning the ball over and giving up transition points.
Sounds simple... but it’s a lot of coaching that needed to be done this summer, we’ll see if things start clicking soon.

Aren't practice days regulated?
