What's this?

I'm sure they'll throw a 3/4 press at us to slow us down, but no trap

We haven't REALLY been bad against pressure outside of trapping all season. We tend to dribble to the corner and sideline which is not great but MY will be coaching them for 4 days on what to do.

One of the reasons I don't expect a lot of trapping is Texas plays just as slowly as us and relies on half court defense to stay in games. I doubt they want to turn it into a transition game and give up repeated open looks to our shooters. They also have no rim protection, so any type of double team press that gets broken is either a foul or a layup.

It's all going to be about them taking us out of our rhythm

Do you think we’ll see them full court press us a lot? We struggled a bit -- Hoakie82 03/15/2022 1:30PM

No, they might run some token pressure but it won't be a fullcourt trap -- soflahokie 03/15/2022 2:23PM

Thanks , I’m not a Bball strategist but that makes sense. Maybe my full -- Hoakie82 03/15/2022 2:32PM
