Switching on defense

[Hunt for 7]

I think a lot of it was matchup based. Marquette had shooters at the 4 and the 5, so switching helps to stay with popping bigs (dropping puts your big too far away, hedging puts you too far away).

Marquette may have shooters in fact we know they do but they are only shooting 32% from 3 in BE games this year. StJohns is last in 3 pt % in BE games shooting only 30%. Seems to me the way to beat each team is make them hoist a bunch of contested three’s but we kind of went against that approach with Marquette.

Found it interesting and wonder what we do with St Johns their leading scorer Luis Jr shoots less than 30% on threes. I think Ross could give him a lot of trouble if he stays on his feat when guarding him.

Looking forward to watching the game tonight Marquette @ St Johns. I cannot comment on what their team names were at one time. I found out it is not allowed so I will just say I disagree. I rooted big time for McGuires team. I play poker with his nephew in south Florida all the time. I liked both these teams names more before they were changed.

Your defense always looks better when the other team misses their open 3s.
