Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 5216637, member: 34"] McNeeley, like Newton, knows how to read the defense and dribble and moves away from the second defender and traps. It's a Captain Obvious obervation, but so many times Mahaney and Nowell dribble right in to the pressure. And neither Mahaney or Nowell is big enough to pass over the trap. It's the initial decision when they get the ball of which way to start moving by reading the defense and seeing where pressure is coming from. Secondly, UConn needs to have some one run to the spot where pressure is coming from so the ball handler has a known target area to pass. Pretty rare for a defense to have two defenders in the same spot on the floor. Similar to an NFL team running or passing to the spot where the blitz is coming from. [/QUOTE]
