I didn't see it as an issue where GW was methodically working the defense and exploiting weaknesses. I just saw us not executing the called defense with enough effort. Late rotations, not getting a hand up, that sort of thing. Somehow we're always able to turn up the intensity late in the game. We need to play with that intensity the whole game. Especially against a team like GW that doesn't have a deep bench.Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like we stayed in our defensive sets too long. I'm not saying you switch to a different D each time they score, but I would have thrown the kitchen sink at them, man, 2-3, 1-3-1, press, just continue to mix it up. Keep them guessing and have them change their offensive scheme.
No doubt having John E. would have helped, if not win that game. Larson was just a beast down low against a young Hayes and a slow rimmer. I'm seeing a bunch of players transferring already. Maybe we can add one or two. This could very well be a tourny team next year if they can just get it right between the ears. A lot of mental breakdowns last night. I'm still very impressed with the Gator turnout.
