Re: Tonight's win was HUGE

[Brock Schweitzer]

Is it just me, or did you notice they were much more effective at a
half-court trap than a full-court or 3/4-court press.  I'd almost say their
best press was like a 5/8ths-court trap when the forced the 10-second
violation.  The one scary thing to take away from the pressing was the lack
of intercepted passes.  USF threw a TON of wild passes as a result of the
pressure, but UC failed to intercept many and only got a couple of tips.
This is where long guys like Kirkland and White were missed.  The good news
is White is still available to come in and make those picks; so we don't
have to dwell on a player loss anymore!
