Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 5191513, member: 9355"] Creighton's defensive style is not geared towards playing in your face pressure with the purpose of forcing turnovers-so that shouldn't be a problem with UConn. However, with Kalkbrenner camping in the paint it will be important for UConn to set better screens with better angles so the Creighton defenders don't chase over the top of screens and go behind the UConn player with the ball thus forcing or funneling them into Kalkbrenner. But if UConn can't do that, then they need find ways to trap the defender on their back and utilize the 2-on-1 situations whether that is pick and roll action or the player running off the screens in off ball action, something McNeeley is good at and was sorely missed in the first match up.
