Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5174476, member: 10435"] Against Iowa, Tennessee's press was broken multiple times but the shot came from underneath and Iowa missed several because they were rushed. Tennessee then ran back the other way to Iowa's half court set defense. However, once Tennessee penetrated in transition it was over because, without making the basket, the Iowa bigs were still trying to catch up on defense and trailed the play. If we sit back and just get pressed, and have an off night from the arc, we can lose. If we press, with our numbers, speed, and good hands defenders like Azzi, Paige, Sarah, KK, Aubrey, Ash and Morgan you are going to get deflections and steals and lay ups, pull ups, and open 3s. We are as good as anyone in transition so why not play a defense that allows transition baskets? [/QUOTE]
