1) Don’t trap or apply full court or half court pressure. They will throw the ball over and through the zone trap for easy 3’s.
2) Play man defense the whole time. Really emphasize to the wing players to not help on drives. Oak help today. Stay out near the permitter guy. Don’t focus on the driver with your eye. Once you turn your head your perimeter guy will relocate to the corner and you won’t recover to get a hand ok his face. Let Fede protect the rim. Or they will just drive and kick.
3) Get the ball on offense and just go and try to create fast break points. Speed them up. It will tire them out and hopefully that will affect their three point efficiency near the end of the game when it counts.
4) Everyone follow their shot and 4 guys should attack the offensive glass on every one of our shots. They are a bad rebounding team and they don’t like to fast break at all anyway so we don’t have to have more than one guy getting back or not worrying about offensive rebounding on all of our shots.
I think they are very well coached. I would have loved to have their coach when we had openings. He reminds me of Viginia and Tony Bennet. We need to take advantage where they’re weak today. And I think if we hit the keys in this post we win.
I won’t be able to watch the game today because my son has his JV game at the same time. So I will be looking to the Pitt thread on here for updates during breaks in my sons games. Go Pitt!!!
