Message: [QUOTE="Purple Stein, post: 2439590, member: 8205"] Defense was putrid, but the pace of our offense -- and the quality of the shots we took -- didn't really help us mask our weakness on the boards. If you take quick 3s and you can't rebound, you're going to give up a LOT of transition points the other way. It's just like the football team. You have no defense, and your offense, which is at best half-competent, wants to play fast. The result is more stress placed on your god-awful defense. That's how Memphis hangs 70 in football or Arkansas hangs 102 today. We need patient sets and high quality two point looks. We may never shoot a great percentage this year, but at least playing offense with greater patience will help out the defense. [/QUOTE]
