We used the press effectively—- it was the conduit to the turnaround
We have periods every game where the energy drops
Why not be the aggressor and use the press for periods of time to combat the lack of juice

He also said 4 of 5 starters are not athletic enough to press. I've been saying all season that this team isn't super athletic, so without hot outside shooting, we're not going far.Hurley addressed this post Nova and said that because we are not as deep with just 7 players it would be hard to sustain without tiring our big guns out. Of course we get behind big and had no choice against Nova.
Pitino is going to do this to us Sunday and I hope we have a plan.
Irony is that Pitino often relies on extending pressure and he doesn’t go very deep at all. Are his players better conditioned ?Hurley addressed this post Nova and said that because we are not as deep with just 7 players it would be hard to sustain without tiring our big guns out.

Excuses, that’s all we have, we press effectively, start pressing from the beginning, catch them off guard, get an early lead, not complicatedWe used the press effectively—- it was the conduit to the turnaround

Speaking my language in terms of energy uplifts - this team needs that, otherwise they feel like they're going through the motions.We can press 2-4 minutes a half even w 7-8 man rotation. It makes us the aggressor and revs our engines
This year I think the answer is yes. Yes they are better conditioned. Take a look at St. Johns 1st half vs. 2nd half splits this year. It's jaw dropping. They are one of the best 2nd half teams in recent memory. Certainly that must point to conditioning as a primary factor.Irony is that Pitino often relies on extending pressure and he doesn’t go very deep at all. Are his players better conditioned ?
Last couple of years, we were the better 2nd half team because our Offense would run them ragged on D and by the second half they were a step slower.This year I think the answer is yes.
