Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3385489, member: 833"] I agree that our sets were taking a long time to develop, and that Cincinnati was making that problem worse with pressure and their pass denial defense. Because Cincinnati was denying the pass, not only was Carlton receiving the ball well past the 3 point line, but he was having a hard time getting the ball back to the guard. Cincinnati was denying all the passes, and rather than exploit a defense that would often have 3 defenders above the 3 point line, we were trying to beat them with dribble drives and pullups. You beat deny defenses with backdoor cuts and backscreens away from the ball, but almost all of our action was on the ball. We need to take what the defense gives us. [/QUOTE]
