Message: [QUOTE="ConnEd, post: 3849024, member: 895"] Totally agree on the better pace of play today. I'm really surprised that Xavier didn't do more of the soft 3/4 court press that PC put on to slow us down and shorten shot clocks. I also agree that the interior passing of the guards is a problem. The passes are uncatchable. And. for the bigs, I always feel that a bounce pass to them is better than a direct pass. They can get past defender hands better and are on their way up when they get to the big making them easier to receive. But I don't see our guards (Martin included) throw bounce passes much. I'll add that I think Carlton not playing today was partly because of the matchup. Xavier's bigs are mobile pick & pop guys. And Freemantle could drive it too. Carlton's better against low block, back-to-the-basket post players. Whaley could barely get back on his hedges today and was burned a few times. Carlton would've been toast. [/QUOTE]
