With the 2nd half success of the press against Mercer, I wonder if we'll see it employed earlier or more often against WCU?
CBR indicated on the postgame show it's exhausting and can "backfire". But given our bench strength I'd think the press would be very tempting - especially if our shooters aren't hot in the early going. To be sure, CBR and Bothwell both referred to "flying around" during the press. That's a favorite CBR term when describing our historically strong Defense, but which I haven't heard since it was more or less abandoned mid-season because it "just didn't fit this team." Maybe the team just needed a little more time to gel? Maybe with the maturity and deep bench they're ready to re-emphasize the D? What do you think?
Go 'Dins !!
