Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 5357577, member: 37"] Smith, Mullins, Ball and Stewart were all assigned to defend BC's Hand Jr. at different parts of the game and failed miserably. They either let him score or fouled him. The other players on BC are not good but Hand is a player. In the second half Ross shut him down completely. And he did it when BC was going on their run and had momentum. I'm not going to proclaim Ross is our perimeter stopper based on one preseason game. But you're diminishing what he did in the second half. What we need to see happen is Ross continuing with this defensive effectiveness as well as his scoring. And more than that we have four players that need to significantly improve their perimeter defense. Otherwise it's going to be a long year. [/QUOTE]
