Del Co TImes - VU Defense Clamps Down

Jay Wright Translation: " We didn't do anything different on defense in the OT but, St John's offense seemed to breakdown completely.. Harrison never got the ball and he was killing us all game. They don't set many screens nor run set plays so it's not difficult to know what they are going to do with the ball."
 
Check out the following next time you watch a game:

Sampson trying to set high pick screens for Harrison - you kidding me, right?

Then watch the weave up top - no threat to the basket, and a complete waste.

Then watch our guards try to jump to the offensive side of the ball as soon as the opponent puts up a shot - this really helps our rebounding.

Then watch us try the 3/4 court press

Watch our guards defend the picks - we don't. That's why 3 point shooters light it up.

These are some of our glaring weaknesses.

Coaching staff has to ride these kids to improve/drill the hell out of them on these.

Also- figure out a 1/2 court offensive scheme. Back door cuts, high screens, etc.. Lets send coach L a video tape of a Gonzaga or butler game. Watch them play.. Precision..
