Why we didn't press ND more in this game? We were at our best in the final moments on defense playing helter skelter out there. I can accept not using the press on every possession of the game, but why not just try to use it a little more at least to speed ND up. They're not comfortable playing fast al all. I understand Crean not trying to press a Louisville or UCONN because they can pretty much match our speed/quickness/athleticism in the backcourt. However, ND cannot match us in that department. Crean needs to exploit that weakness much more often if we face ND in the BE tourney.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Was screaming at my television for them to do that all game.
