We forced 1 turnover in that mode (TJ) and we gave it right back with our own turnover, when Miles dribbled it off his foot. It just made the score even uglier, and did little to help us close the gap.

Its interesting that you brought up the press. Last night was the most aggressive that I've seen the team work at the ball, and frankly, I wasnt disappointed. The big issue that I had was the lineup on the court when they did so: Lee, Jonsson, Moran, Overton, and Mojica.

They hit the trap a few times and just about sealed it up. At that point, they just need to build from there, and have the extra guys covering the passes a little better.

Also, with the 3-2, one big difference that I saw which I feel REALLY made a difference was the back-side defender. When the wing was left open on their side as Northeastern tried to overload against odd-man fronts, the back-side defender was dropping A LOT deeper into the lane to cover the pass into the mid-high post. It was effective.
