Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3430849, member: 6927"] Robbi Ryan gets hung up on the screen, and the other defender doesn't switch and it leaves Pivec wide open for the catch. I don't know what defense they talked about in the huddle, but that's almost an automatic switch scenario given time and score. Defense 101. With 0.4 seconds you have to protect against the lob to the middle. Edit to add: It's not that much different in principle than the lob pass from the sideline with 0.8 seconds left that Syracuse used to beat Florida State last month. The media went on and on about what a great play it was -- and yes, it was a great play -- but it required a colossal defensive screw-up in which Ekhomu abandoned the lane to chase the screener all the way past the 3-point line, in a time and score situation where a lob pass toward the bucket had to be the #1 priority to guard against.
