I wanted to see some half court trap or full court press here too (assuming I understood your post correctly). Even just a little here and there to change things up and show them different looks. Our half court defense was really good I thought but changing the tempo would have been to our benefit. 
  Our guards were awful offensively but I felt some of that was because Indiana's half court defense was really good.  They kept the guards bottled up and didn't allow them to create anything. I think Vital and Gilbert are better in open court situations defensively where they are good at creating steals and offensively where they are good in transition.  They get bogged down in a slow half court game and end up settling for contested bad threes or forcing drives. 
  I also don't like the substitution patterns. UConn was killing them early and we pull almost the entire team when Indiana takes a time out? Why? 
  Get Bouk in earlier and do a better job mixing the starters and the bench. Also, why aren't we running some basic screens for Bouk?  Or at least it doesn't look like we are.
