Surprising for me is 16 points in paint for us to 2 not. If we maintain a semblance of an inside presence and our jumpshot kicks in, nice.

There's basically four ways
There's basically four ways
There's basically four ways (in my opinion) to defend the ball screen.
1. Go underneath it. Never done at a high level because a PG can just pull up for an easy three.
2. Hard trap it. If a team knows it is coming, a good point guard can easily make you pay by splitting it, passing out of it early, etc etc. Many ways to beat it.
3. Hedge and recover. Most teams, including us, will hedge and recover. The hedge forces the ball handler far enough out that the big man can recover to his man.
4. Switch. Rarely a good idea with exceptional guards going against big men.

I know the students are on spring break and this comment isn't directed at this game. Why don't we put the benches on the other side of the court and jam pack the other side with students like Duke does?
We have to have the most dysfunctional student section in basketball and it annoys me.
