Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5191739, member: 12088"] I don't disagree. I just think it's not an isolated problem. Tennessee's press didn't force many TO's but it did make the Huskies feel rushed and they missed shots. When a team shoots poorly, it's usually because something the other team did had an impact on them. So, how do they address that? I think it's entirely about practice and mastering Geno's offense and defense. You don't specifically practice not missing shots you should make... whatever that might mean. You practice everything about the offense Geno teaches, so that you're confident in your movement and always know where you're supposed to be. Do that, and no team can make you feel rushed. We're clearly not there yet, and for the very reason Geno has repeatedly said in pressers: inexperience. We play Paige (who has as much experience and confidence as any coach could want) and a bunch of freshmen and sophomores, and a couple seniors coming off injuries, and one grad transfer. Who else in the top-10 is in this situation? Certainly not UCLA, Texas, SC, LSU, tOSU or NC St. Maybe a case could be made that ND is in a similar situation, but I don't think it'd be very persuasive. That just leaves KY and USC, and I think we can beat either of them. [/QUOTE]
