Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5233286, member: 26"] Before I list my 3 things... this time of year, many say "optics don't matter - you only need to win by 1". Technically that is true, but I believe that HOW you play and how you win in the early rounds is a good indication of where the team stands mentally, physically, their chemistry, how organized they are on defense, and how the offense is flowing, etc... This team was firing on all cylinders. It was as close to a complete game as I've seen from the team this year. It's one of the reasons everyone was so excited, especially [USER=73]@Tonyc[/USER] . So for me, just more of the same... [LIST=1] [*]Continued intense, swarming defense with tons of switching and help side [*]Continued offensive flow - not only creating offense from defense, but also good shooting from our shooters [*]Continue with every player doing a great job at doing what they do best. [/LIST] Arkansas State wanted to play fast and full court press. South Dakota State is more disciplined and intentional in their offense and defense. They reminded me a bit of Creighton in their deliberateness. The team is peaking at the right time and I hope that continues. [/QUOTE]
