[QUOTE="CEB, post: 979524, member: 4905"] I had a lot of similar thoughts…Early on, defense was suspect. Forget shot blocking… just block out! We gave too many offensive second chances early. Fortunately we cleaned it up. Good job with press initially… breaking it and sill getting good offense. Backcourt pressure didn’t seem to bother us all night but in the second half we fell victim to quick shots (bad shots) after breaking the press. We Took 3s out of rhythm and let them have a couple good looks in transition. Both sides got sloppy or lead may have evaporated. We settled back down, Extra passes to find Debo and Kelly with their feet set got a couple big shots to keep MSSt at arms length Miss St started getting really frustrated late in first half (and stayed that way most of the game). Poor shots, no movement. Granted, that’s credit to our D and it also coincided with when we started rebounding defensively. That’s when we were able to extend the lead. Did a better job moving the ball in first half. Passes were quick and crisp, made D move. Second half was more standing and one guy dribbling. Guys caught it and put it on the floor instead of reversing it quickly. Resulted in traps, tipped balls and forced shots and showed in our shooting pct. Good defense, especially transition D, kept us in the game. Forced lots of TOs in transition and limited them to one shot in transition. That was key. Haven’t watched Missy play but maybe they are a better shooting team than they showed? They didn’t move and shoot very well offensively and I hope that’s credit to our D. SEC officials? Lots of pushing bumping reaching that’s typically called in ACC. I was proud that we didn’t back down and in the second half we were actually more aggressive. Good hustle plays all night; nearly all 50/50 balls were ours. Late pressure really bothered us… and we have GOT to understand the situation late. Offensive rebound sturdy pulls out and we drive the lane immediately for a tough shot (missed and rebounded by MSST). Next transition we try alley oop fast break after a steal when we don’t have numbers… also a miss and turnover to MSST. Both were great opportunities to bleed clock and we forced shots instead. I saw some people say we took our foot off the gas late, but we really stopped running offense. We just need to stay in the offense and recognize the situation and take the first good shot. We hit FT down the stretch… good sign. Wasn’t a lot of pucker factor, but we hit them regardless. Lots of positives and while I agree that we won’t tout this as a win against a ranked team for long, it’s a solid showing over a capable P5 opponent. I’ll take it! [/QUOTE]
