Maybe the players are just not good under defensive pressure?

We saw it against Memphis and though we have got a bit better against some teams, we still struggle against more physical teams that play tight D. I don't know if we are magically going to fix that or if it is in fact a coaching issue as being a veteran player doesn't make you good at breaking the press.

Our starting lineup was not playing well -- VBpescador 02/24/2022 06:50AM

Yeah, this last 5 minutes thing is a head scratcher. -- NC Hoke 02/24/2022 03:20AM

Not really, we have a limited bench & the guys are gassed late in games... -- BROman Hokie 02/24/2022 08:18AM

It's not the missed shots that bother me. It's the lazy passes . . . -- HokieKip 02/24/2022 08:26AM

We don’t have a limited bench, we have a coach who refuses to play them -- soflahokie 02/24/2022 08:25AM

GT doesn’t apply ball pressure, they run an extended 1-3-1 -- soflahokie 02/24/2022 08:29AM

They can run it as an agressive trap style zone .. that was the last 5min -- ShockWaveVT 02/24/2022 1:59PM

Actually.. a little of both -- hokietom87 02/24/2022 09:59AM
