Message: [QUOTE="PvP, post: 4605466, member: 9955"] Both our loss to Ohio State and Iowa's defeat of South Carolina were in large part due to defensive schemes that forced turnovers. Of course we were aware of OSUs press but we still couldn't handle it. Iowa used a zone in which Clark would drop back to double the post and South Carolina couldn't handle it. With the full house of 14 players likely available to Geno, I hope he can find a way to incorporate a level of defense that wasn't possible this year. We've used the press effectively in the past and would seem to have enough defensively effective players to cause havoc. And a similar drop back zone could utilize Aubrey's phenomenal athleticism. I'm sure there are other alternatives and Geno has often said that defense wins championships. I think this year's tournament is proof of that. [/QUOTE]
