Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3022253, member: 8636"] Response to my own post: Geno- the psychology stuff had an effect in the UCF game for sure. Not since then. Lighten up on it, including interviews and pressers. Kids aren’t responding. Eventually if you’re called crappy enough, you start to believe it. Wrong Geno, the D doesn’t look good. Defense has to take something away from the offense. Period. Definition of defense. What is Cincinnati not allowed to do? They do what they want. Dribble anywhere they want, post up where they want, pass where they want. They just miss their shots. We know the top teams don’t miss their shots, especially when they are not pressured. Come on Geno! Decide emphatically what you’re going to take away from these teams, and commit to it. For example he gave up on the pressure D and/or press. Yes, we get beat, but does it give us anything and are we taking anything away from our opponent. The Louisville game was still even when we were pressing. They may have gotten some easy looks, but so did UConn from the uptempo. [/QUOTE]
