Message: [QUOTE="jabstep, post: 3828916, member: 10340"] I disagree with you about the Pavlovian compulsion of playing tougher opponents. For example, we don't play enough close games usually until we get to the final 4. In close games, you know when to call timeout after a rebound with 3.9 seconds left. You know who to foul if you are behind to get more possessions. You know how to press to force the team into turnovers or speeding up play. You know these things because you practice them and go thru them during the course of the season. Geno has had to worry about COVID complications and getting 7 freshmen to learn basic offense and defense. Lots of competitive games are helpful. [/QUOTE]
