We can learn a thing or 2 about breaking down a press from SFA.

Indeed. Walkup and that short guard have anticipation and see the angles. We have no one like that on the current roster. Also, notice the bounce passes. Underused and undertaught. They stay calm and pass to the open man ON TIME. A thrown ball moves faster than any dribbler, but you have to decide early.

So if your 3 seed is a basketball team that can't shoot a jumper, you forfeit your right to complain about bracket difficulty, right?

That was a clinic on beating a press, they did not turn it over hardly at all the second half.....

Getting rid of the five second guarding was a huge advantage to SFA, but I like the rule.

Trust me I want to keep it up! But I've learned that when stuff like this gets put up that's when all the trolls decide to come out... Kinda like a full moon and nutty people
I will never for the life of me understand why people want to troll other boards. Are they so irrelevant and ignored on their own boards that they have to come over here, or another board for that matter, just to get attention. Sad and pathetic specimens they are.

Xavier just looks kind of blah. The cheaters have an easy region no matter what anyone says.

Today kind of encourages me going forward. I don't think there are many offenses that can keep up with us.

Today just shows you if you can get hot anything is possible!

Duke has the offense to score with anyone, just need to be adequate on defense.

You better to be ready to play hard every game no matter where you are seeded because that opponent is coming to play ball. 1st two days of this tourney should be proof of that. How many higher seeds have already gone down. We better have our big boy britches on tomorrow against Yale because they are coming to play ball and whip our butts. I guarantee our coaching staff has made this point clear to our team. We need to come out of the gate fast and from the opening whistle to the final horn totally dominate the game and not let up. I don't care if we have a 20 point lead with 10 minutes left to play we can't let up . We need to put Yale in the position to where they just give up and the only way to do that is finish the kill. OFC

After today we know that every single game is going to be a battle. I have no doubts that we will come ready...but so will Yale. Hopefully we survive and advance.
