This is not a new issue with this team. Sharp cuts-crisp and accurate passes- create separation from defenders. Specifically watched this action during StJ/Creighton game. Ashworth was consistently beating their press as the recipient of the inbound pass. They knew he was getting the ball and still couldn't stop him. Doesn't hurt that he shoots 95% from FT line if fouled.

It's on Dan to figure it out and then have the best five guys on the floor to execute getting the ball up court. It's not rocket science. And guess what? The teams with the right personnel-now and in the Tournament-Are going to keep doing it until we can show them its a mistake by breaking the press and scoring.

It looks to me like we are running stuff to get fouled instead of running stuff to get the ball up court. When the refs swallow their whistles when teams are pressing and overlooking obvious physicality vs the offense-as in Seton Hall game-crazy "stuff" can happen. You don't get to the foul line. Of course-You have to get the ball in to have a chance to be fouled.
