[QUOTE="battle, post: 2029419, member: 395895"] Observation: In 1st, PU did not 'press'. In 2nd, on many possessions we didn't start our offense until 14-17 seconds. MD would get ball 3 feet inbound and PU had 1 man on him; MD brought up slowly and then sometimes 'backed down' starting at half court and then passed. In last 5 min, JH came in backcourt only once to get inbound and we had in frontcourt by 27 and a couple of times CH set a screen. This has happened in previous games, is easy for teams to copy putting one man on MD; we have also shown someone else (JH, TR, ...) coming into backcourt to get inbound easily fixes this. Our ability to play under and around Edey at the rim was outstanding Crowd was fantastic - first 5 minutes and last 5 minutes were really loud with the whole crowd standing, clapping, and yelling nearly non-stop. I thought we would win when we tied at 64. Crowd was really angry at refs, myself included - PU got away with so much but we were not. [/QUOTE]
