Tonight's game, and the Cincinnati game revealed how to beat this MU team - pressure the hell out of Junior. Not sure Derrick Wilson is the answer either. Junior just needs to slow down a step, be more deliberate/measured in breaking the press. We can run decent half court offense - no need to force the issue and try to capitalize on the press by trying for early offense.
Bad decisions are always the result of being sped up beyond one's comfort zone in hoops. Junior's off balance, rushed, NBA 3 point attempt with us having climbed to 45-46 showed how out of sorts he was - he never takes that shot...and in my opinion a by-product of how frazzled he felt by the pressure/intensity. It was a back breaker in my opinion...
HE STILL DRIBBLES WAY TO HIGH
When MU plays well, they go over the top. Today and against Cincy Junior, and others, tried to drive through. MU is better moving the ball against pressure. They get better spacing and opportunities. Today Louisville did that against MU.
