once BT teams get outside the conference, they go apeshit playing teams less committed to defense

First TV Timeout thoughts

Good halfcourt D. Forcing lots of turnovers right now. We’re looking to attack on the offensive end. LJs quick pass inside to JJ (which led to Moore’s putback) and his mid-range jumper while Siena’s defense wasn’t set are two good examples. Not picture perfect, but we’re doing what we need to do so far.

Better than Minny, but we're still cold

JJ has shown up, but missing some easy putbacks.

They are running, we ned to control the tempo

We are missing lots of easy shots inside 10 feet that we need to finish.

We are winning the hustle war and playing good D, but need to rebound better. Rossiter and Franklin both have 7 boards.
