Message: [QUOTE="UCan3, post: 5206465, member: 11446"] When teams we face don’t apply a high energy, face-guarding approach, frankly we look pretty tough to beat. I do get concerned about our ability to handle pressure defense. We will see tons of it in BE tourney and NCAA Tourney. I still think we looked unsteady handling ball and would like to have seen more Nowell to speed things up - give us some stability with ball handling. Diarra just looks like he’s run out of gas - playing as hard as he can w/ nagging injuries - and yes, still getting to the rim but looks pained getting there. Away from rim he seems to have lost that outside jumper and 3 ball, and no longer seems like a threat from the outside. I hope coach comes up with a strategy to mix it up when we see the St. John’s type of defense again - it’s coming. No complaints on tonight though, our team played well and it was a good win. [/QUOTE]
