We do give up some open 3's when we press. But it does help to wear a team down. I can't wait until the freshmen are more comfortable with the defensive side of things. You can tell the difference when we have 3 or more newcomers in the lineup. But we have to play them especially when DeAndre gets into foul trouble.

Speaking of Deandre, most of his fouls have been when he's on the perimeter trying to steal the ball on the press. I wish he would stop reaching.

I don’t know how talented they are, but they play more players than we do.

20+ minutes: Memphis 4, St. Louis 2
10 - 19 minutes: Memphis 5, St. Louis 10

When you are up 42 points at the half I am sure that starters didn't play many\any minutes in the 2nd half.

I'm not so sure.
Easier than the last 2, yes. Easily? hmmm
We are once again #3 in KenPom D-efficiency.
The frosh - especially Duren - are holding their own defensively.
I would like to see more defensive rebounding. But these first 2 games had an unusual amount of odd rebounds - likely due to our size.
This game will be much more telling in a lot of areas.
As for Deandre, he just gets too "turnt up". He does need to get it under control better - but at the same time, his energy and unselfishness drives the team.

I agree. I think a lot of those weird bounces are due to really good defense that lead to really tough shots that don't really have a chance at going in and result in oddball bounces off the rim.

With our big guards we should get those long rebounds too.

Nah, when they take those crazy bounces it is impossible to be in position. Typically, they just fly out to the perimeter where the the offensive players are just standing around.

Wait. What?

It is similar to airballs. It is impossible to be in position for an airball because you are not anticipating that bad of a shot. It is similar with a lot of the missed shots the first two games where the bounces were so unorthodox that players were not in position for them.

Now, last night we just straight up struggled with defensive rebounding...
